There is no you in this city of love

People come to Paris to find inspiration and to find adventures. For those who are alone, this most beautiful scenery is a regret.
18 stories about love, the last one touched the deepest. A fat middle-aged American woman comes to Paris alone to start her own adventure. In this place far away from home, away from work, away from friends, and away from all familiar people, she climbed to the top of a high-rise building, overlooking the whole of Paris, and suddenly wanted to share the beauty in front of her with someone: "It's beautiful, isn't it? "But there is no one around, even the ex she can think of, has started a family and hasn't been in touch for 11 years. Maybe she has a lot of friends in America and the best dog in the world to keep her company, and she says she's optimistic, but none of that means much at this moment. At this moment, she is just a lonely traveler with no one to share the joy, and this unshareable beauty makes her sad.
She visited the tombs of famous people and learned from the guidebook that Sartre and Beauvoir were buried there after their lovers died; she found that Diaz, who ruled Mexico for 30 years, was now buried in the ground, unable to speak. Life always comes to an end. Some people can be buried with their beloved soulmates after death, while others, no matter how famous, are buried alone under this cold tombstone. This woman imagined the situation after her death, and no one must come to see her, right?
Alive, alive, she was in the park thinking about the meaning of life in the moment. This city full of love also reminded her of some things, some things she didn't know, some things she had been looking forward to, some things she had forgotten, some things she might have missed. Maybe it's her love.
In this city of love, without you, even with all kinds of customs, who else can I tell you?


Off-topic: I received a film from my uncle in Paris before, and I asked him:
Uncle, do you love Paris?
Love

    I watched it in the middle of the night last Saturday, and I must buy a DVD for collection. It's so pretty. 20 famous directors, 50 famous movie stars, 18 short stories, and 20 short stories scattered in Paris' neighborhoods. Very, very delicate, Paris is the city of love, and the definition of this love is very broad. Lovers, relatives, strangers, the same skin color, different religions, same-sex, opposite-sex and even "love" between people and vampires. What I dislike the most is the so-called Chinese style directed by Du Kefeng, which is too mashed up to cater to Western tastes. It seems nondescript and has little to do with the theme. The exotic single women in the last arrondissement feel sad and happy in Paris, but they are still alive. When you really like Paris, you will find that Paris loves you too. This is the original color of the film itself.

    Anytime, anywhere, romantic love story is the perfect opening film for Cannes, Paris I Love You. The English boy and French, the woman in red and Haruki Murakami, the mime couple and Eiffel, the old whore and the corner jazz, the American postman aunt and Paris are some of my favorite stories.

  • Fanny Forestier: [in French] Kiss me on impulse! Surprise me!

    Bob Leander: Me, me, me, me! You always want your feelings understood! But mine are childish! Sex isn't disgusting unless you make it disgusting! There can be beauty in this place too!

    Fanny Forestier: [in French] Not what I call beauty!

    Bob Leander: I need a little help! You don't know what it's like for a man when it's all gone! I can't feel anything anymore!

    Fanny Forestier: [slaps him] Do you feel *that*?

    Bob Leander: [turning to the stripper] What do you charge to watch an argument?

  • Bob Leander: Can't we walk together?

    Fanny Forestier: I'm so ashamed.

    Bob Leander: Why? You did it out of love, I assume.

    Fanny Forestier: And what do you do, out of love?

    Bob Leander: I ache... for who we were.
