Metropolitan evaluation action

"Metropolitan" is a satirical comedy with a keen insight into the changing destiny of the upper class. Whit Stillman’s directorial debut does not actually have a story. The film’s advantage lies in its unique script. The plot is entirely for the ingeniously written dialogue, and wonderful witticism abounds in the film. And these dialogues are spoken by an ordinary actor, and very contagious, in which Nick's subtle lines far exceed other characters. The director’s theme always runs the risk of alienating potential audiences, who may not care much about the stories of upper class indulgence and the lonely world in which they live. However, "Metropolitan" is a sharp and bold work. Subtle and restrained humor can be seen everywhere, and this is due to the characterization of the individual director Ru Mu Sanfen  .
"Metropolitan" has a charming and interesting story. Although the film uses ordinary actors, the actors as a whole perform very well, comparable to the unexpected success of "Sex, Lies, and Videotape" in 1989.

    It's not bad, although it's a little awkward to watch Americans play a little boring.

    The American media commented on how Stillman represented the 1% of the United States (Stillman was born in the 1% of the Upper East Side and graduated from Harvard. Although there was no such a word at that time). But my feeling is that people regardless of age or background have universal hopes and ideals, pretense and insecurity.

Metropolitan quotes

  • A.T. Harris Salesman: Like to try on the tuxedo?

    Tom Townsend: Okay.

    A.T. Harris Salesman: Okay. Here you go.

    Tom Townsend: I think I'd prefer one more like the one I rented.

    A.T. Harris Salesman: That is the one you rented.

  • Nick Smith: You haven't seen this? Detachable collar. Not many people wear them anymore. They look much better. So many things which were better in the past have been abandoned for supposed convenience.

    Tom Townsend: I had no idea anyone wore those anymore.

    Nick Smith: It's a small thing, but symbolically important. Our parents' generation was never interested in keeping up standards. They wanted to be happy, but, of course, the last way to be happy is to make it your objective in life.

    Tom Townsend: I wonder if our generation's any better than our parents'.

    Nick Smith: Oh, it's far worse. Our generation's probably the worst since - the Protestant Reformation. It's barbaric, but a barbarism even worse than the old-fashioned, straightforward kind. Now barbarism is cloaked with all sorts of self-righteousness and moral superiority. Will you look at this?

    Tom Townsend: You're obviously talking about a lot more than just detachable collars.

    Nick Smith: Yeah, I am.
