just saw this and i thought it was pretty nice..a nice
movie postcard of paris. it's made out of short episodes
that take place in various parts of paris and they make a
nice whole. and soundtrack makes it even nicer
ofcourse..just a lovely easy watching thing with some witty
and fun bits. nice indeed : )

Watched the start of it last night.

The dude in the Metro is funny as fuck.

Also the nursery rhyme that the Spanish aupair was singing
has been haunting me all morning.

a nice film, thats it.
some short stories,
better or worse, but not very original in general,
at least, not for the short film genre...

"FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT"

haha, yeah, i didn't expect you would like it..it's quite
cheesy and not something french would like i
suppose..specially those frnch who don't live in paris hihi

"The dude in the Metro is funny as fuck."

steve buscemi? he was alright for the part yeah : )

gena rowlands and ben gazzara are fun hehe

The dafoe binoche thing deserved tears of blood too but the
second segment was the one with the muslim girl, with the
hijab and all. It felt like a civic education class, or a
tolerance-promoting ad on TV. Laughable and guh.

There are some good segments in a sea of shit. I liked
Assayas' and Podalydès', Van Sant's and Salles' were
alright. The rest ranged mostly from useless to
embarrassing.

I think I'd hate it even more if I was from Paris. It's so
cutesy and touristy and disgusting, I hate it with all my
heart.

haha you took this film completly the wrong way i think. i
don't think it's trying to be educational or deep or
anything..basically it's just a romantic view on paris
everyone wants to belive in or something. muslim chick was
hot too : )

No I didn't. Come on, didn't you hear her forced little
speech on tolerance or whatever I can't remember.

Points: 50073 Status: Moderator



i suppose you could see it like that as well ofcourse, but i
took it differently. it wasn't really some moralistic speech
or something, more like a couple of words about it..but yes,
it's probably different from a french perspective.

do you get to know which director did what before each
piece?

id like to know for each one but i don't necessarily want to
read a thing that has like a synopsis of each story before i
see it.

yeah, on this version i saw it says who directs it. probably
goes for any version.

btw, i suppose i could mention here that im in love with
maggie gyllenhaal.

Haha. Last night I saw the South Park episode about evil
Cartman from a parallel universe (which of course was the
opposite of the mean Cartman in South Park). Tolstoyed often
argues about music being too shallow and not challenging
enough, but in this topic he is the defender of simple
romantic entertainment. Is this the evil Tolstoyed from a
parallel universe? :D

see, you seem to always get wrong ideas about things i say :
)
i don't mind simple things one bit if they are meant to be
simple. i listen to lots of cheesy pop music, old italian
romantic songs and stuff like that and i totally enjoy it. i
hate when things get pretentious for no apparent
reason..when people see in music something that isn't
there..and in the end is all about whether something touches
me or not. i suppose i percept film in a bit different way
to music too..for example i love soundtrack from this film
and you won't find any challenging songs on it..it's just
one of those simple things that is made in a way that
pleases me, it's all about subjectivity ofcourse : )

Well see that's the problem. I think films like Paris je
t'aime (or Amélie, hey) are pretentious. See Paris,
a Paris of love and simpler time. They hide their dullness
and clichés under a pretense of simplicity and
oh-isn't-that-nice.

Believe me, I love simple movies. Those are not simple.
They're trying to be. Or they're simple and they pretend
they're not. Both.

You basically enjoy movies that are real as opposed
to fake, am I right, am I right please tell me I am

Depends what you mean by real. If you mean real like real
life, you're terribly wrong. Post pics of yourself as a

are these assertions true or WHAT?

Pretty much. It's a cool city though, and I like it a lot,
partly because of its scumminess.

well, we then disagree on this one as i find both paris and
amelie just simple easywatching films not trying to be
something else..

"They hide their dullness and clichés under a pretense of
simplicity and oh-isn't-that-nice."

i was in Paris 4 or 5 times and i was always charmed..if i
lived there or in france i'd probably find it much
different, but for people who only visit it every now and
then im sure it's a different thing all together.

also, i like pretty things : )

the subways are fucking excellent in paris, like being
inside noise music... people messing about with obscure wind
instruments and stupid street theatre and trains going
shooooooffff and stuff. the london underground is
nowt like it, just as grotty but with none of the, like,
atmosphere, or something. dunnoes

also i have not seen this film

paris, hey

Depends what you mean by contrived. If you mean contrived
like etc

paris subway is best subway. i was in lyon and their subway
is nice subway but not as good as paris subway. paris subway
as strange walls and huge posters.

another thing with this move is that it is a movie about
love. and when you're in love things seem much prettier than
normally..i mean you only see pretty things and that's how i
see this movie. nothing more than a cheesy romantic view on
paris and im cool with that : )
