In Paris, change a heart

Time flies faster and faster, every day for the constantly updated reports on WSJ and my own shabby vocabulary that I have only now discovered how shabby vocabulary is draining a lot of brain cells...
Regarding this crisis, I have heard so much that I think I don’t know the so-called take it for granted. Explain, I have no intention to laugh at people who are blindly optimistic and pessimistic or even blindly indifferent.
I can only say that I am grateful for our generation to pass through such a historical moment that is more meaningful than any major event in the past.
Will the world order be rewritten? Should China rescue the market? Is the Great Depression coming again? ...
No one knows what happened, because the subject of social sciences is humans, and there is never a precise causal relationship as in natural sciences—the person who said this is not me, and his name is George Soros.
You see, a country in Iceland has been auctioned off on EBAY, and some people are saying that we simply nationalize all the companies in China and the United States, and take advantage of the trend to regain Taiwan... The
horrible flow of information, let’s not talk about “heroes in troubled times”. "These are illusory, let's figure out the surrounding environment first-we can't be the frog in the pot that boiled in the water.
I stayed up the day before yesterday to read all the macroeconomics textbooks I could find. Yesterday I started to lose sleep...At

this time, I need a little "Paris".
Just like when the English teacher who would explain French idioms to us in class asked me sincerely if I felt "angry" about the financial crisis, I could only tell her "Facing the crisis caused radically by the greed of man, we should try to live independ of the material. Things will surely get better, and now we shouldn't care so much about the money. Just be spiritually happy."
What’s more interesting is that a brother patted me on the shoulder with excitement after class and asked, "Isn't it exciting?" in English with a strong French accent: "Isn't it exciting?" You can only answer "Yeah, baby."
This is the lovely French. Fortunately, their financial "ignorance" has led to a relatively conservative and stable financial environment in France. Otherwise, I don't know what their mood is at this moment.

Well, I really intend to write a film review.

Paris, this time there is no explicit phrase "I love you".
It is always a huge challenge to use a movie to depict the incredible Paris in three dimensions-no matter for any one or even a group of directors.
But this time, the director named Cédric Klapisch took Juliette Binoche, Romain Duris, Albert Dupontel, a group of outstanding actors, and used a smooth montage to hand in a good answer.
Of course, who said this is in Paris, you should be able to make good movies.

Divorced single mother with children living alone, social worker;
middle-aged single history professor, filming documentary for TV station, pseudonym Baudelaire writes text messages to pursue beautiful female students in her class;
peddler in the vegetable market, always taking care of the breakup A one-year ex-girlfriend, and when the latter was ready to leave his life completely, her sudden death plunged him into unprecedented grief;
mean bakery owner, crazy modern girl, marginalized North African smuggler, successful family A happy life is a perfect architect who still has no shortage of worries... The
director is not afraid of too many characters in his films, because even if these people are inconspicuous, one is missing , Paris is no longer Paris.

As a lively city, the people here are also hypocritical, arrogant, vain, and humble...
In such a city that has been appreciated and worshipped as works of art for hundreds of years, it has also experienced the agitation of tradition and modernity. The game between dream and reality...
However, the reason why this is Paris is not only because of the magnificent architecture and the glamorous fashion...It
is because everyone in this city is afraid of becoming "well-behaved" and is always eager to love and be loved. Love.
So even if you don't like the arrogance and meanness of old Paris, and the frivolity and debauchery of new Paris, such a city is still fascinating.
Because at least when we kiss, hug, and open our arms to each other, we are sincere and full of gratitude;
even if the years that have been warm to each other pass away, those who have experienced it will still cherish it solemnly.

In fact, it's not that this city is really romantic.
Anyone who has experienced real life knows what kind of hardships are behind those touching and warm pictures.
Everyone has to work hard and earn a living...The people all over the world, at first glance, are all indifferent.
I sometimes think that maybe only by living a hard life in a big city can I get more spiritual energy.
——I have survived all of these, what else would I worry about?
That's why you can cheekily talk to the beautiful people you see on the side of the road, and spare no effort to please your favorite object...
This is a powerful innocence that has experienced the baptism of the world.

The role of Romain Duris is undoubtedly special in the film. As a dancer with a heart failure, death adds a different weight to his perspective.
When he bid farewell to his sister in a generous gesture of going to death and sat in a taxi, he said: "This is Paris. People will always complain to her, but they will always love her so much. In fact, in Paris, there should be no worries. No worries, whatever you want."
Actually, it's not just in Paris? Having a fresh life and controlling the existing life, why add so many shackles to your life?

Go to Paris to change your heart.

Forgetting which website I saw an advertisement similar to a matchmaking agency, it makes people laugh but meaningful:
"What is the most precious thing in the 21st century? Lover!"
A lover can actually be a friend who can care for you during illness, and a family member who can care about you in the distance;
if it comes to love, in fact, everyone hopes that the lover is not the one who silently stares at him in a beautiful sad posture in the crowd. I hope that person can laugh and dance awkwardly for you, and scatter your ashes to the place where
you first met after you leave this world... Please cherish these tiny details or the warmth that is deeper than life.

Less desire, less greed; more sincerity, more friendship.
If anyone were to ask me how to survive this economic crisis, this would be my grand answer.
