Where is this New York?

Noun substitution is possible. The background is Tiananmen Square is "Beijing I Love You", the background is Tokyo Tower is "Tokyo I Love You", the background is Big Ben is "London I Love You"... If the "xx I Love You" series goes on like this, I'm afraid Except for the moldy literature and art, there is nothing left.
I'm not saying that New York can't have literature and art, there are literature and art everywhere, but this kind of literature and art that is more romantic than reality is only suitable for Paris. I don't know if this conclusion is biased - I haven't been to Paris. But at least I know this is not the New York I see and want to see.
I would rather see some New York qualities: such as American humor, New England's heaviness, positivity and light-heartedness in culture, down-to-earth and efficient romance, sincerity, authenticity, etc., rather than patting freedom Goddess Fifth Avenue is New York. Here I only see the skin of New York, but not its soul. It's hypocritical to say it badly.
A few paragraphs are remarkable. Jiang Wen is definitely a smart person. He is very cute and has the style of a general (or the style of an old gun--) in the details. The part directed by Natalie Portman is so cute, I will never be able to resist the cute little girl... (Well, I'm a lolicon auntie!) The part of the grandfather and grandmother is a good one, moving with laughter and tears.
Iwai is so disappointing... I've lost all the sweetness that gave me goosebumps in the love letter. Who are you fooling me with an old stalk that seems to love the sky... I just want to say: Dostoyevsky, you uncle!
Oops... I wanted to write a good review... but it turned out to be like this... = =
Forget it, that's it.

New York, I Love You quotes

  • Writer: [after lighting her cigarette] We share a flame, thousands of tiny molecules are heating up right now, they're penetrating our brain. Alright, they're stimulating our sexual desire. I mean, I don't know about you, but I find that shit very romantic. And you know, I'm so glad you walked over here because now I can feel a little bit more comfortable to tell you that I happen to be on the forefront of men able to find and locate a woman's G-spot, and I could - I could do that for you.

    Call Girl: [Sarcastically] That's really generous of you, thank you.

    Writer: Well, it's my pleasure. Well. It's your pleasure.

    Call Girl: And what makes you think I haven't located it yet?

    Writer: Uh, the way you hold the cigarette. It's a little high and tight. Y'know what you have to do, is you have to lower it. You have to bring it all the way down, in there, so it just sits. Comfortably. Y'know if it's high and tight like that, the whole body gets restricted and the... plexus? Gets closed off. Y'know and the vagina gets locked.

  • Anna: Have you ever made love to a perfect stranger?

    Alex: Now you're teasing me.

    Anna: I believe I am.

    Alex: Well, I mean... No, not exactly a perfect stranger, if you mean someone I wouldn't know at all.

    Anna: It's sad.

    Alex: It's sad? Why?

    Anna: Because there's almost nothing more exciting than fucking somebody you don't know. Right? You don't know their name, barely saw their face.

    Alex: Don't... Don't tell me your name.
