Simple life, warm each other

"Sleepless in Paris", also translated as "As Long as Together", is not a movie about love as the title suggests. Unlike "Sleepless in Los Angeles" or "Last Tango in Paris", it focuses more on life. Movies like "The Miracle on Christmas Eve" and "Sleepless in Paris" depicting a group of ordinary people have become a trend. Perhaps there are fewer and fewer heroes, or perhaps life is becoming more and more monotonous.

In the icy big machine of the modern city of Paris, people live and die alone like winter leaves, and it is difficult to love and open themselves. The story of Sleepless in Paris begins in such a winter.

When Camille took the liberty to invite the stuttering Philip to her hut for dinner, what she didn't expect was what an abundance of friendship the instinct to escape from loneliness would bring her. Philip was born in the last noble family. He was indifferent to the world, warm and friendly, and took the seriously ill Camille back to his home to take care of him. And when Frank bumped into Camille with short hair and moved in, he didn't think that this "gay guy in pajamas"-looking girl was his Cinderella.

Through Tatu's familiar interpretation, the ordinary female cleaner Carmel becomes bold and shy, sensitive and self-respecting, very dazzling. The chef Frank played by Callie, although rude, irritable and romantic, is filial to his grandmother, affectionate and righteous to his friends, frank and sincere, and his character is full and full of layers. As the fulcrum of the story and the buffer of contradictions, the little salesman Philip is more interesting. He represents a kind of poor and humble gentleman in the Western literary tradition - O Henry's poor painter, Dickens' Micawbers, and "City Lights" in "City Lights". Charlo, —— Stuttering represents difficult current affairs and clumsiness to make a living, smashed china represents a self-esteem that has been ridiculed and trampled on, inheritance and beauty are the audience's blessings to good people. Friendship is more proof of spiritual transcendence.

When Grandma dies peacefully in Camille's care, Philip gets married, and Frank and Camille's relationship runs aground. The miracle of love saves the audience, and the kisses at the airport and the mundane life have finally bridged the cold cracks in life.

The world may not be as warm as the movie, but the tragedies caused by indifference and brutality abound.

For every small person living in a modern metropolis, the background of "Sleepless in Paris" is real, work, pension, family disputes, housing difficulties, in the suspense of survival full of thorns. How to break the barrier of indifference and dig out the way of life, love or a luxury, friendship, tolerance and bravery are necessary to deal with the suffering of life.

This film weaves such a touching story on ordinary people, conveying the true philosophy of life by living a normal life together and being warm to each other.
