I had expected that this would be a literary and artistic film like the first two, but I didn't expect that the relationship between the male and female protagonists would be a couple who had been married for two years, and the male protagonist would be such a stubborn and cool guy male. But other than that, I still love this movie, it's very cute and funny, although it's full of too many dirty jokes (it reminds me of SELINE in AFTER saying that Americans are not so HORNY).
Obviously, this drama has a strong trace of WOODY ALLEN, from dialogue to editing, to the male lead (is he somewhat like SINGER's friend in ANNIE HALL?) and some supporting role choices (such as MARION's parents and SINGER's Parents are quite similar, as well as those EXES of MARION), but there are still many differences between the two:
First of all, WOODY ALLEN shows a panoramic view of New York, while JULIE only makes a fuss about the cultural differences between the United States and France, and focuses on two This kind of culture's understanding of the relationship between the sexes is relatively narrow, and naturally it is not as deep as ANNIE HALL;
secondly, JULIE understands this cultural difference from a female perspective, although the occasional voice in the film spoils the rhythm of the film. And feelings, like at a party, in the car and the last two people arguing with the voice out, maybe JULIE is afraid that the audience won't understand, or she doesn't want the film to be too experimental, too talkative, maybe she's not confident enough about the dialogue. .. Anyway, this kind of treatment makes the film lose a kind of tension, and it seems a little nondescript.
In addition, WOODY ALLEN is a combination of drama and tragedy in his films, and often needs the heroine to set off a contrasting effect; but JULIE is different, she can have a sense of drama and tragedy at the same time, and can be Self-contrast is shown: such as the contrast between the dramatic appearance of black-rimmed glasses at the beginning and the later Parisian beauty, and her change from being sweet with her husband to being suspicious of each other. It can only be said that JULIE is a much better actor than WOODY.
All in all, I personally like the actors of this film more than the whole film, especially the scene where the two dance with each other at the end of the film and a few scenes where the two are in the dining room, which is very interesting and exciting. I also like a few details in the film: 1. The hapless American tourists (especially the expressions on their faces when they meet the hero at the end of the film); 2. Bulging eyes in the subway looking at the person who always follows them but it doesn't work; 3. The bear on the table on the right side of MARION's room is exactly the same as when I was a child!
4. The snails, flowers and cats slowly appearing on the polaroid photos taken by MARION when I was a child ...
