I hope everyone has a different way to open Paris, but I hope it is not the model provided by Netflix. Because it is a city for studying and working, the original intention of watching this drama is to consider whether to recommend it to family members, so that they can understand the life and culture of France and Paris. The conclusion is, it's good to read it again, so I don't recommend it...
Good literary works show universal historical laws and values through differences and conflicts, and good advertisements use fantasy to make people want to buy and change behavior. The drama itself is not good enough, the cultural conflicts described are also very superficial, the emotional lines are very bloody, the characters are quite thin, it can be regarded as a relatively coherent advertisement, but the parts of the classic attractions are not beautiful enough.
The creative staff may be limited to the marketing of various high-end retail businesses (cosmetics, clothing, beverages, hotels, etc.) in France. They know a certain social software, but they don’t understand marketing; they have eaten croissants from a corner bakery, but have not eaten with French colleagues, and their reflections on cultural differences are extremely superficial. (Friends who are interested in cultural differences recommend Erin Mayer "Cultural Map: Breaking Through the Invisible Boundaries of Global Business"). If you are limited to the stereotypes of movies and TV dramas, and you continue to choose to memorize and copy the stereotypes in your life, that would be quite unfortunate.
In life, there are indeed colleagues who are sent to France who do not speak French. But I don’t speak French in my life and work, whether I go to an exhibition or a drama on weekends, whether to buy things in a warehouse or a popular boutique, whether to buy luxury goods or cheap goods... These trivial things are not important, and I won’t evaluate them. Work It is a process of compatibility and mutual respect and innovation together. What's bad is that there is no unique cognitive insight of the self, and the better things are turned a blind eye.
Originally, film and television dramas, pastime and entertainment to kill time are over, you can forget it when you look at it, don’t take it too seriously. After reading it, if you want to travel and buy a package to boost the local economy, that's great. If you really think that most French/Parisians are like Emily's colleagues, they are closed-minded and cautious, except that they can dress up and have chaotic private life at various gatherings, or are handsome guys like the male protagonist. Take a 10,000 step back. It's understandable to think so, but don't force friends around you to agree with your point of view.
