浪漫之都《巴黎我爱你》

说到城市题材的电影,不得不提《巴黎我爱你》。这部极其一堆世界知名大导拼凑的18个巴黎都市的风情,淋漓尽致地将浪漫之都的种种光鲜亮丽和展现在观众面前。

Paris, je t'aime is about the plurality of cinema in one mythic location: Paris, the City of Love. Twenty filmmakers have five minutes each; the audience must weaving a single narrative out of twenty moments. The 20 moments are fused by transitional interstitial sequences and also via the introduction and epilogue. Each transition begins with the last shot of the previous film and ends with the first shot of the following film, extending the enchantment and the emotion of the previous segment, preparing the audience for a surprise, and providing a cohesive atmosphere. There's a reappearing mysterious character who is a witness to the Parisian life. A common theme of Paris and love fuses all.

时尚之都《纽约我爱你》

有了《巴黎我爱你》的成功,好莱坞便效仿拍了《纽约我爱你》。虽然同样是串烧式的编排,后者却不及前者那么华丽,却也让更多人看到了时尚之外的纽约大苹果。


Ten vignettes in New York City: a pickpocket meets his match; a young Hasidic woman, on the eve of her marriage, reveals herself to an Indian businessman; a writer tries a pick-up line; an artist seeks a model; a composer needs to read; two women connect; a man takes a child to Central Park; lovers meet; a couple takes a walk on their anniversary; a kid goes to the prom with a girl in a wheelchair; a retired singer contemplates suicide. There are eight million stories in the naked city: these have been ten of them.

温情之都:伦敦《真爱至上》

都是串烧电影,却谁都比不上《真爱至上》的温情经典。虽然更偏重于时间而非地点,这个始于伦敦希斯罗机场的圣诞电影,却叫人品味到更浓重的城市人情味儿。


The characters are falling in love, falling out of love, some are with right people, some are with the wrong people, some are looking to have an affair, some are in the period of mourning; a capsule summary of reality. Love begins and love ends. They flirt a lot. They are all flirting with love. At all ages and social levels, love is the theme. Romantic love and brotherly love is the hotchpotch through out the movie. Most of the movie is filmed in London, during Christmas and the characters all ended up at Heathrow airport a very uplifting note.

活力之都《迷失东京》

城市给人的感觉不只是温情,更多是异乡人的迷惘和失落,以及巨大的文化冲击。《迷失东京》的迷失主题让不少异乡人产生了共鸣,而东京的独特魅力也在其中展现。

Americans abroad, almost innocents. Charlotte, fresh out of Yale with a degree in philosophy, is in Tokyo with her husband, a photographer whose work takes him away that week. She's adrift, her soul on ice. Bob, mid-50s, a semi-retired movie star, is there to make $2 million doing a whisky ad. At home are a wife and young children, but he's jaded and melancholy. Both are jet-lagged, and Tokyo's culture and language push them further off kilter. When they meet in the hotel bar and spend their free time together for a few days, possibilities arise amidst the losses. Their friendship becomes an experience: does he have something to teach; can she reconnect him to life?

变迁之都:香港《甜蜜蜜》

兜了一圈回到国内,香港是小时候最向往的城市,因为歌曲,因为港剧。《甜蜜蜜》真实呈现了香港小市民的生活状况和时代的变迁,一个城市的命运无非如此吧?

Jun arrives in Hong Kong from mainland China, hoping to be able to earn enough money to marry his girlfriend back home. He meets the streetwise Qiao and they become friends. As friendship turns into love, problems develop, and although they seem meant for each other they somehow keep missing out.

聚焦之都:上海《大城小事》

世博会在上海举行,怎么能不说说咱们的大上海?好吧,我知道《大城小事》不是什么太好看的电影,但不可置否它实在把上海拍得好像世博宣传片哈……


Dr. Zhao Him and his girlfriend Siu Yuht break up after a year and a half long romance. Yet after their separation he finds himself thinking more and more about her. Finally when a chance meeting with a wealthy client brings them together again, he gets his chance of speaking his love. Even he moves next to Siu Yuht but she wants no part of him. Will working together allow their love to rekindle a second time?
