To Marie.....

I haven't watched "Two Days in Paris", it is probably the ex Jack mentioned in the film.

To Marie mentioned at the end of the film, the director remembered his mother, was seen in "before Sunset" and passed away in 2009.

If you look at it as an entertainment movie, it is not very rich in entertainment elements, but as an author's movie, I think it is still successful. It is so similar to the family around us. It is not as happy as imagined. The sisters are constantly quarreling. Lies, conflicts with boyfriends, etc.

Time urges people to grow old, so is Julie. I don’t like artists like Zhao Yazhi and Pan Yingzi. It’s not that I don’t like them. I always think that at this age, I will be at this age. Don’t deceive yourself or the audience. Instead of watching To the myth of being immortal on the screen, it would be better to let the audience and themselves face reality.

So I really look forward to "before midnight", because the human body is all kinds of unsatisfactory, aging, youth no longer, more and more wrinkles, more and more hairline, loose skin, and a small belly. This is true. Life, not a play house movie and TV series that deceives youth and young AI.

At the end of the movie, it was a reunion. Even the sisters who quarreled every day found a good home, and all of a sudden, they returned to Hollywood. Like Julie's father's performance, a man's lustful nature can't be changed for a lifetime.

Two Days in New York quotes

  • Rose: America is cool! Can I sell my soul too?

  • Marion: If you live your life with one person only, one day they'll be gone or you'll be gone. And one of you will be left in the cold world. The family we are born in eventually vanishes. By then you have created your own family if you're lucky. First you have to choose the person you'll build this family with, and stick to it as much as possible. How many tries do you get before you strike out? When my mother died, just a few hours before the end, she looked in my eyes and had the expression of a little girl who didn't know what was happening to her. The same as when Lulu was born. Something totally pure. So I guess we can do all the growing up we can. In the end, at the core, we stay the same. But before that sad ending that awaits all of us, maybe we can share beautiful, ephemeral moments with the people we love.
