There is no denying that this New York, I Love You is more thoughtful in connection than Paris, je t'aime, and it is not limited to the story of each district. Without the abrupt black images at the time of Paris, NY has added a lot of NY street scenes, as well as Maggie Q, a street chicken who is always lingering in the streets, and Bradley Cooper, who is always robbing others for taxis (what to say. There's always Bradley Cooper in these kinds of Hollywood shorts? There's He's Just Not That Into You before, and Valentine's Day after that, and Emilie Ohana with a DV. It's just that the connection time has been extended, and there is no time for the works of Woody Allen, Scarlett Johansson and Park Chan-wook in the film of more than one hour. Every story is a bit loose, many lack drama, and a bit unworthy of a commercial. And the stories lack the smell of New York too, they can take place in any cosmopolitan city with strong ethnic blending.
If Paris stands for romance, what does New York stand for? For foreigners who have never been to New York, it is the white knife in the red knife in "Gangs of New York", and it is the drunken fan of Hip Hop. It's the radiance of The Devil Wears Prada, it's the liveliness of Sex and the City. It's the big struggle of the little guys in The Apprentice, it's the big idea of the hillbillies in Project Runway. It's the loneliness and indifference of Mary and Max, it's the good people of The Visitor. It's Ugly Betty's Queens, it's Gossip Girl's Upper East Side. It is laughing with tears, it is resplendent. It's the crowded streets of Times Square, it's a moment of tranquility in Central Park. It's the somber chant of a poor artist in a subway station, it's a glimpse of Nicole Kidman's allure by the Empire State Building. It is out of the haze after 9/11, and it is the dominance of the Statue of Liberty. It is the domineering of Wall Street, it is the warmth of blueberry pie. It represents the best of times and it represents the worst of times. It is The APPLE of the world's eyes, and every frown and smile draws the nerves of the seven continents. It is that colorful apple, and it is constantly expanding with various cultures. Desires pile up desires, success squeezes success, the American dream flows out and infiltrates, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar nourish it, and joys and sorrows nurture it. It is the best protagonist in Hollywood with a superb acting image and an ever-changing image.
Over the years, Hollywood has portrayed New York as a place where hell and heaven meet in a series of dramatic images. Then it sneered and said congratulations, being deceived. It handed over a New York, I Love You, and told us that New York was just that. Without its own unique temper, without the smell of its own personality, this big apple is not as good as a glass of boiled water, with a cautious expression and unequivocal lines.
Jiang Wen may be running crazy in the mountains and plains, but he is at a loss when describing the short-distance person-to-person contact in New York. The city can't compare to Johnnie To's Hong Kong. Hong Kong's Wen Que at least has the romance of playing with a camera and riding a bicycle, and the danger of having a blade in the mouth. As a thief in New York, you probably only learned one principle, without skills, don't touch other people's mistresses.
Natalie, this little girl, grew up and became a bald bride here in New York. How my stubborn audience missed May 15 in Paris, when Natalie, a small actor-student, fell in love with a tall, blind boy. She acts, he learns languages. They are in love. Embrace. Girls shouting, shouting, boys taking exams, exams... The dancing little dance, the dancing little life, is it only in Paris that it looks like a fairy tale? Spring and autumn come, and love is the whisper of the girl on the other end of the telephone line, and the low monologue of the boy on the other end. When Love moved to New York, the story revolved around diamond haggling, teary eyes without hair. Yes, there are no small love songs in New York, only the reality of red fruit. Fortunately, there are smiles at the wedding banquet, and the hand of the married life. Well, it is a pity that such a big city and small love will be staged in every city. Although the race may be different.
Orlando Bloom called David this time, with the lazy British accent of David Beckham. It's a pity that he was wrong, because he played an otaku. The music dubbing of the animation always wears the white bottoming T commonly seen by Uncle Jinyu Lao in Guangdong, with several holes regularly worn on the top. Inside was a yellow vest that was very athlete in the early 1980s. Orlando has somehow become a fan who loves to write and write about you, and has learned to hunched over like L to shake hands with strangers. Probably the American otaku is not as good as the authentic Japanese otaku. Recalling the cute otaku uncle in "Tokyo 2009", pizza boxes and paper roll buckets are regularly lined up along the wall, and the small space becomes very loving because of the unique human taste inside. Iwai Shunji may be more suitable for the dwarf Guo Jingming to grieve. The clumsiness of the child's first love stayed in Little Japan, but when he arrived in the big place of New York, his little emotions could not be placed in front of the camera.
Desire was written on Bradley Cooper's face. If this eroticism can be a little less literary monologue, and a little more action that can't stop when men, women and pigs are alone, or the whole process can be accelerated, or it can become more like Sex and the City's New York. Or, the married man who brought Bradley back to He's Just Not That Into You, who clearly wanted to, but still had to pretend to be sane, was the most hilarious.
Of course, there are also some fun scenes, such as the writer's description to the street chicken, the little girl hanging from the broken tree, Carlos Acosta's solo dance, the old couple playing with flower guns, Shu Qi's eyes on the pictures.... Just these stories Too small, too little content... Maybe they combine and I can see the fusion of multiculturalism, the harmonious life of various peoples, and then what? I don't see New York's outstanding social problems, New York's outstanding economic status, or New York's outstanding cultural contributions. This movie is more like a story shared by every stranger in the world. Every city has couples who are trying to remedy their marriage, every city has old couples who quarrel at the head of the bed, and every city has strangers who meet by chance but get along....Under the increasingly common globalization, New York What are the characteristics of the city? What kind of taste does it need to be so that people can know that it is New York? What kind of markings are needed so that people can know the location of a city at a glance? And what is the unique charm of Shanghai that the legendary "Shanghai, I Love You" is about to start shooting?
In the end, this movie left me with such a thought.
