Feeling of pressure

At the beginning, I thought the director was a bit poetic, or that it would be uninteresting like .
However, as the plot progressed, "Love Roaming in Paris" became the "Yankee Roaming France Horror Incident", forcing the audience to feel the discomfort of the male protagonist at every moment and to suffocate with him. Of course, this helps to understand the plot, but it goes too far, and the ears are constantly bombarded with French, which makes me suffer. It's funny but it's not.
Besides, if it ends with the heroine's spiritual monologue, why is the heroine's inner feelings almost never described in the play? There is no beginning or end to come to an inner confession, which makes people not interested in paying attention to the content at all, and adding a nondescript happy ending is really terrible.
What is the theme of this play? I think it's because of the unexpectedly rapid deterioration of a relationship in just two days in Romantic Flower Capital and how easily human minds can be misled? Coupled with the hatefulness of Americans (older American tourists), the arrogance of French people (female cashiers in vegetarian restaurants), a list of French family situations, and don’t call firefighters

if you have a hose... ; but other than that, you'd think this drama was sponsored by the Anti-French League.

PS The heroine has no temperament and is also one of the boring elements.

Two Days in Paris quotes

  • Marion: Taking pictures all the time turns you into an observer. It automatically takes you out of the moment... For our trip to Venice I wanted to be in the moment, with Jack. But, instead of kissing on the gondola, Jack took 48 pictures on the gondola... Instead of holding hands walking across Piazza San Marco, Jack took 72 pictures of Piazza San Marco.

  • Manu: [Talking about Marion, Jack's girlfriend] She told you we used to be together?

    Jack: Yes.

    Manu: But it was, like, 1 5 years ago, so it's no big deal at all, really. She was 19. I gave her her first orgasm through intercourse... Oh, no, this is rude. I know when I'm rude, this is rude. I'm sorry about that.

    Jack: Oh, no, no, no. Hey, look, you paved the way for the rest of us, right?
