New York, New York

New York should be as important to Martin Scorsese as New York is to Woody Allen. The deep attachment and sense of belonging to a city is a kind of deep affection that people without this kind of plot can never understand. There is no need for iconic buildings to indicate orientation, nor is there any need to impose interpretive forms rigidly in them. The director integrated the concept and symbol of "New York" into every moment after the film started.

He met her on the day the war was won, and he saw her as a target to conquer; she saw him as a rascal who couldn't get rid of. Encounter is not the beginning of love at first sight, the director jokes with meaningful jokes, and a comedy about the city kicks off.

He was contemplating on the stairs, with men and women dancing in the background, his partner had appeared, but he had not yet accepted his invitation. Casual chat between taxis, they share a common interest - music. This is an endless topic for him and her. Both joy and sadness came from this, the first relaxed cooperation in a jazz bar, she noticed his talent and affection, which felt a little unclear, so she ran away. Fortunately, in addition to being impulsive, he is also a persistent person. From New York to the country where she performed, he spoke of his love, and she finally couldn't escape facing the problem and took a brave step of her own.

Married life was trivial and sluggish. They quarreled again and again because of the complexity, but they could always reconcile, even if it was only a bunch of flowers and a kiss. She became a responsibility that had never appeared in his past life. She became tender and gentle for him, making compromises that she could not imagine before. The seemingly unbelievable stories unfolded here, and there were no special scenes to explain their changing hearts, so the audience joined them to meet the big and small storms in life, those quarrels, those confessions, like watching two children grow up silently Be considerate.

If the process of slowly grinding and reconciling goes well, then the story is a perfect ending. But they were all scared, and she didn't know why the situation became out of control, so she beat him, hoping he would give her an answer. But he was also powerless to comfort, he couldn't face everything he encountered, he looked at her in pain, and he had no direction. Even his love for her was powerless to support him in his current life. Like he said, I love you, but I'm leaving. She hugged him and cried, and she had no better solution. So they are together because of the music, and they are separated because of the music.

A few years later, they both had their own careers. She told his and her story on the big screen, and he sat down and smiled silently. Years make them mature and have the ability to think about everything in the past. They both understood that they really loved each other at that time.

Seeing this, I was a little helpless to cry, and finally realized that it was love that made them come together for no reason. The touch of the soul, a feeling that they can't even explain, slowly deepens every morning and evening in New York. They met at the right moment and met the right person in their life. In fact, all of this has no reason, just because it really exists.

    Swing big band enlightenment, the effect of a movie is better than half a year of jazz appreciation class... De Niro turned out to be the saxophone that he learned specially for this movie! How long does it take for a novice to learn to improvise and be able to solo? The heroine looks a bit like Jen in IT CROWD, everything else is good but a little ugly...

    In fact, in the end, the song and dance that looked like a tribute to the heroine's father was not bad, but watching the growth of the characters and the plot in the whole film became quite bloody. It's better to say that the genres you like are different and finally break up. De Niro is really handsome, but as a musician, it seems that his acting skills are not complete, especially when the opposite is a real singer. The bridges are so beautiful, but unfortunately the two protagonists don't call so much.

  • Francine Evans: I'd like to sing a song - now. It was written by a friend of mine - who is a great believer - in major chords.

    [singing]

    Francine Evans: Start spreadin' the news, I'm leavin' today, I wanna be a part of it, New York, New York, These vagabond shoes, Are longin' to stray, And step around the heart of it, New York, New York, I wanna wake up In the city that doesn't sleep, To find I'm King of the Hill, Top of the Heap, My little-town blues, Are meltin' away, I'll make a brand-new start of it In old New York, If I can make it there, I'd make it anywhere, It's up to you, New York, New York...
