2 Days In Paris

So here it goes again.

I had an awesome weekend though. How was yours?

Well, I watched an awesome movie titled ' 2 Days In Paris ', the movie is about the reality of relationships in general and of course, Paris. I will not elaborate much about the movie since I have the tendency to ruin the ending and basically everything about the movie (I actually do that a lot) but I will briefly enlighten why you should watch the movie.

Hollywood usually fabricate surreal movies about relationships, but in reality, relationships are not as bad and as awesome as Hollywood depict to us, not just Hollywood, everywhere actually, even the news. Well.. yes. The movie of course..

It's about a couple, she is a native French, he is American. They both lives in New York, and decided to visit Paris for 2 days after a few weeks of visiting elsewhere in Europe. She is fanatical and audacious, a photographer. He is neurotic and full of sarcasm, an interior designer. The movie is fascinating because of the diversity of their personality and how they resolve their dilemma and crisis. It relates to every relationships that you have and have had. I know I just made a bold statement but I too know, every relationships is different, nevertheless we all will face the same problem, jealousy.

The movie also portrays real Parisian culture in which I love and hate. Yes, I have a love-hate relationship with Paris. But in ' 2 Days In Paris ', whether you like it or not, that is exactly how Parisians are. Racist, fascist, strident, liberated, it's all in the movie.

That is how I perceive the film, yours may be different.

Oh yes, the movie is directed by Julie Delpy, and she is also the main character in the movie casting alongside Adam Goldberg. I am a big fan of Julie Delpy since I saw her in the movie Before Sunrise and then came the sequel Before Sunset. It is a romance movie, but if you think that these are those mushy crap, I beg to differ.

I appreciate originality in films.
