Whose city

When I sat in the cinema, I looked around and saw almost only one colored head, which was white... I was silently thinking about where the young people had gone, and the surroundings were darkened. After a few trailers, the movie it has started.

1.
The silhouette of Paris is sometimes very similar to that of New York. On the top floor is a circular dome-shaped residence, narrow streets paved with gravel, and clusters of easily swaying shadows of trees. However, it is still full of fascinating breath.

Listening to the soundtrack and watching the opening five-minute slideshow, I was full of emotion. What a magical tool music is. After a reasonable mix, if you close your eyes and simply listen, you know that the tune is talking about France. The beginning of Julie & Julia is also very obvious. With Julia's clumsy parrot, it is light and bright, and you know that it is singing a French melody.

It's too far.. In terms of plot, there is nothing special about it. But it is really only a film made by cultural talents. Gil and his prospective father-in-law exchanged opinions at the dinner table. Although the former did not agree, he tried to please the latter, so he said that our difference of opinion is a manifestation of democracy! After the similar little baggage was shaken, the audience couldn't help but laugh, and then they wondered, how exactly did Woody Allen come up with the joke?

2.
Of course, many other laughing points appear in the scenes of various celebrities. After Zelda's name was called, the crowd on the left side of the theater didn't hold back, and immediately laughed. I sighed and lamented my ignorance. Fortunately, Mr. Fitzgerald showed up in time, the great Gatsby, I have never read it or heard it!

Similarly, Gil just arrived at Stein's house. Stein pointed to the man who had combed a failed Hitler-like head and said, ah, we have a little problem with Pablo. There was another low laugh. Ladies like us all only know Picasso, and we have never had a chance to be called Pablo affectionately...

But in addition to such humor throughout the film, there are also punch lines that appear from time to time. I'm also not sure if this is Woody's own words or a famous saying hidden in my heart through the mouth of a celebrity. The most memorable sentence came from Hemingway. He asked Gil in that magical classic car if he felt that he was not afraid of death at a certain moment when his fiancée was together.

Gil paused and said, no. All smiles in the theater.

However, in the next second, Hemingway became serious, "The reason why cowards are cowards is because they don't love enough, not enough."

This is a well-known saying , tusk.

This film is definitely going to be watched a second time. After all kinds of background knowledge and the first names of celebrities are added... It is obvious when watching the movie, that many jokes will take a second or two for the audience. Reaction, then laughed out. During this period, the brain has gone through the process of searching for information, it is unknown.

As for why the story happened in Paris, I am very interested. These days, I have been thinking about the difference between a city and a city, where is it.

Language? So what is the difference between London and Los Angeles?

Is it a resident? Grandparents in Beijing and supermarket cashiers in New York sometimes have the same enthusiasm and chat points.

Building? Needless to say, different places, just a city can have a completely different atmosphere. However, where is the most essential difference?

Are we living in this city and feeling everything about her, ourselves? Maybe it is. For different people, everything that happens around them will be instinctively projected into the memory of this city. So there was joy and sadness, and it was also raining Paris. Gil thought it was beautiful, but his fiancee said who would like to get wet.

In fact, which city is not the same. Whether it’s Paris where every shot looks like an oil painting, or the Doppler-effect T-shirt that Sheldon wore through more than a dozen streets in the Big Bang Theory, New York, which is narrow in the middle and wide on both sides, has her cute and charming. People can't bear to look down on both sides. However, with a pair of curious eyes and legs, there will always be some secrets that outsiders don't know. Gil's adventure is a good example.

Oh, of course, don’t be unlucky, just like the private detective in the film who accidentally broke into the former palace and was besieged by the guards.
