C'est Paris

The younger brother has a heart attack, not only loses his job as a dancer, but also faces death. He feels depressed, but persuades his sister to forget the past, realize that his charm still exists, and start a new life boldly and actively; exist. Paris is a romantic capital, and love seems to be a must: even if you have a "terminal illness", you must try to have a "love" at the end (it seems a little irresponsible): the girl opposite you fall in love at first sight, let yourself and A girl who dances, a single friend found by her sister; an older history professor who goes after his students as mad as a stalker; a single mother falls in love with a fruit stand vendor. The professor said when recording the documentary: "The place we are in began in the 17th century, where Baudelaire once left the famous phrase "flying over the sea of ​​misery". Here, the Hashish Club met, Gerard and Gautier , Daumier, Balzac drank and wrote poetry here, and here, under the patronage of Baudelaire, French portrait art was born, the eternal capital. As a prologue to Paris, Baudelaire once said, here Although it is not full of friends, people express their opinions, and flowers bloom without restraint. He made his love for prose poetry public. He said, "First of all, our great city attracts people with her immeasurably broad mind." Today, we The city of her is still open. Paris itself is a poem, a novel, a new era, fashion and wine, let us slowly savor her romance and piece together our memories. Here, put what we have All order and beauty, luxury, flamboyance and rigor” defines Paris and reveals some of the problems of inclusivity, such as: refugee flows and racial issues: a postcard of Notre Dame de Paris made my brother smuggle to France, Think of the same issues of religion and race that are reflected in Hugo's novels and musicals; and the bakery's lady's compliments of working girls from North Africa with a hint of racism. "People say that in Paris, as long as you work hard, you will become rich", which city is not the case? There are no shortage of people in the city who only have work and family, wives and children, just like the younger brother of the professor. The luxurious swimming pools of the upper class, the house parties of the middle class, and the indulgence of the lower class, these remind me of "The Great Gatsby", although I haven't read it seriously, but from the introduction, I feel that this film The first three classes gave me a more obvious and intuitive feeling about the life of a drunken fan than what was mentioned in the introduction to the novel; there are also migrants, homeless people who have a high probability of smuggling, and other difficult classes. People's longing for a new life, application Please social security are reflected in the film, a complete Paris is presented. At the end of the film, the younger brother, in the taxi to the hospital, did not ask the anxious driver to take a detour to avoid the traffic, but continued to take the road that might be stuck in traffic. Perhaps because he was afraid of the approaching death, he tried his best to delay and delay. Some face it. I especially like the last part, where the younger brother connects all the characters in a taxi through the streets of the city; and the part where the professor looks through the telescope at the Eiffel Tower (probably), it's the same thing. It seems that Paris is very small, or that these people are a small part of Paris, but it reflects this huge city. The younger brother was lying on his back in the back seat of the taxi, and a light shone on his face, making him look pale. Reminds me of Christopher in the "Wonderful Bus" of "Wild Survival", who also faced the sky, full of powerlessness, but full of epiphany, maybe approaching death brought them different thinking. And his words: "This is Paris, no one is happy, we whine about her, but love her at the same time. People don't know how lucky they are, walking, breathing, running, arguing, being late, they are born There is no happiness in happiness. In fact, life in Paris should be free and carefree.”

[Should look at it later, maybe there will be additions]
