These directors have different styles, some tell stories, some just convey an emotion, some blabla keep talking, some don’t speak at all, and maybe some stories are only short stories that have flavor and intrigue.
From my rotten girl's point of view, I liked Gus Van Sant's part the most, a brief encounter between two beautiful teenagers about a chicken and a duck, and then they went in opposite directions. The most cruel thing is that the foreign boy knows some trivial French. He can't understand the French boy's love confession, but he can understand the jazz question, and he knows how to borrow fire from him, which is better than not saying a word. Sad, this kind of loss is even more regrettable.
The film involves children of all ages, there are confused children, there are teenagers who are just beginning to love, there are young people who are strangers in a foreign country, there are lonely middle-aged people, and there are old people who are unwilling. It seems that there are various problems in human life. It is difficult for people to truly be happy in crisis and crisis. Maybe each protagonist wants different things, but there is one thing that is the same, that is, people's emotions, love, family, and friendship. These are things people are pursuing in their lives. .
Losing the emotional connection between people, we will feel that we have nowhere to turn to, such as that young girl in a foreign country, she walks through all corners of the city alone, lives in other people's homes, and takes care of other people's children. But sing the song of hometown. We need to rely on each other, seek understanding and intimacy, just like the middle-aged man and woman in the car, they are each other's firelight in the cold night, warming others and warming themselves. More extreme solo travelers are willing to sacrifice themselves to vampires on the cold streets, and also get rid of their fate of wandering alone. There are also people who choose to deceive themselves and leave a familiar city to a place they have never been to, because it is normal to be alone and without relatives there. Although living a life no different from the old city, it is also You can deceive yourself temporarily, and feel the loneliness with peace of mind.
And being in an emotional state makes people feel bound and hindered. For example, the father and daughter who talk on the street, the closer they are, the easier it is to cause trouble, confusion and harm to themselves. So people are hesitating between wanting or not, making a decision at a time. It is easy to get along with each other, but once they let go, they are unwilling. Just like the couple who have lovers in each of them, they seem to be light-hearted. As for the marriage that was about to be disintegrated in name only, and as his wife said, "I never thought we would come this far", even though the marriage was dead, they were still pretending to complain to each other and pretending not to care.
On the surface, this film is about Paris, but in fact it is about people, emotions, and the most essential things. The core is the same, but the way of expression and perspective are different.
