New York I Love You is another collection of short films from Emmanuel Benbihy's Cities of Love series following I Love You Paris. The purpose of Cities of Love is to first choose an international metropolis, and secondly, all short films must be related to love. Each director should complete the shooting within two days and complete the editing within a week, and generally find directors and screenwriters from different countries to let The story is also international, reflecting the multifaceted nature of a city in the eyes of people from different worlds. The films in this series are different from the short film collections such as one film per person mentioned earlier. In the former, each story has no intersection before, while each story in Cities of Love occasionally There are interspersed, the beginning and the end may be related, so this kind of short film collection is more inclined to the overall film, in this regard, I love you in Paris has a little attempt, in New York, this connection is stronger, to a certain extent, the increase of the film ornamental.
The film begins with two Americans robbing a taxi, racing against time to enter this diverse world of big apples.
When I heard the thief start reciting the English version of the flower girl and Cui Jian's bold voice was vaguely heard in the background... I realized that Jiang Wen's work was actually broadcast in the first place. Thief, pick-up girl, hermit master, concise photography, sharp editing, it really is Jiang Wen's style, it is a blessing to see two Jiang Wen's works in one thought, looking forward to making bullets fly.
After that, Mira Nair and Natalie Portman collaborated...I want to ignore...
Iwai Shunji's part, this time Iwai Shunji is very quiet, but I don't know why such a pure love story should be integrated into such a deep Dostoev It's like that... the Japanese manga soundtrack is so exaggerated. Christina Ricci is basically the voice acting, why do I feel that this little girl is getting more and more frustrated.
The next two stories are the most interesting in the whole film. First, the story of Ethan Hawke and Maggie Q describes the quarrel between a third-rate writer and a prostitute. Of course, most of the time, Ethan is living in vain. This paragraph is even a bit of popular science for us = =.. The large and large YD descriptions are easy to imagine and are worth learning and using, um... Brett Ratner's story is a very shrinking American pie, frustrated male Graduation prom with a disabled girl, a journey of breaking the ground, until the truth is revealed, I can't imagine this is the work of the rush hour genre and the director of prison escape.. By the way, queen S in this gossip girl also came to make a cameo, basically playing in her true colors , still beautiful.
The passages between Bradley Cooper and Drea de Matteo are very erotic, the lighting is ambiguous, the images are illusory, and there is almost no dialogue. The two recall the unforgettable one night stand and then can't help themselves. Drea de Matteo is a regular performer of Desperate Housewives this year, and I am very happy to see her, a wild Latina woman.
The story of the foot boy waiter and the old woman singer, as well as the story of the complaining woman and the uncle... Ignore
Natalie Portman's active performance in Love You in New York for the time being, not only starred in a short film but also wrote and directed an upper east side story. Indian or African? The father was mistaken for the child's male nanny. Portman wanted to reflect that the rich people on the Upper East Side would not take care of their children themselves. This theme should be the same as the nanny diary.
In Shu Qi's passage, the story is very vulgar, but it is very pleasing. The camera is constantly hovering on Shu Qi's face, and the light and shadow are intertwined, which outlines a beautiful dream for the painter. The camera loves Shu Qi so much, no matter how close the shot is, it can be beautiful and moving, the most irresistible thing is her lips = =...
The story of the old couple is very warm, although the sunset is almost dusk, it is still infinitely good, the dialogue is funny, the two old people The actor's interpretation seems to be out of the category of performance, and has entered the realm of transformation.
It is quite unexpected that most of the short films are shot so sunny. It seems that this is due to the charm of New York, but many landmark buildings are collectively ignored by everyone. The Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, and the Brooklyn Bridge are only fleeting. , and some don't even appear, which should be deliberately avoided. But many things are unavoidable, such as Central Park, the only leisure place, and yellow taxis all over the street.
In the end, many stories were recorded in a photographer's camera, and bits and pieces converged into the love of New York in people's hearts.
I heard that the city of the next work in the Cities of Love series is set to be Shanghai, and I look forward to the Shanghai legend of the masters.
