my wife and i just finish this movie and i come onto to imdb to commiserate with the reviewer that find this movie less than satisfactory . however and of the 10 page of review and only a handful be negative . i feel that this movie be a great concept go horribly awry and i want to warn those who be look to watch the movie into the future . i admit and i be more inspired to write review when i do not like a movie than as to when i do and so my handful of review be all negative . still and that doesn not mean i be bias towards not enjoy a movie and but i often find more eloquent review of movie i do enjoy . paris je taime be the most pretentious movie i have see in year . by use an intelligent concept and attach some big talent to a couple of the way to many short story and the movie end up the bad of all world . it be art for art sake and but something that a 2 year old could dream up and accomplish . give the director free reign of 5 minute of screen time prove why there be a division of labor even in entertainment . director can not write and writer can not direct . ( i would like to throw in also that clint eastwood be overrate and but that be because he an actor turn director { which rarely work and either } ) . what end up on the screen be a garbled mess of short story that do not make any sense and be not complete in 5 minute and in total and spoil paris to me . why call it paris je taime when a more apropos title be cluster fck . there be only a couple story that be watchable and most notably the piece by alfonso cuarón and but everything else will fall into obscurity . the coen brother short be passable and but can you name a movie of theirs that do not contain a scene with a pick guitar . it a if all the director decide on do whatever it be they want to do and choose paris a the place to do it . a we all love paris and present company include and we be blind by the fact that this movie suck . in fact and i think they put the director names on each of the short because director saw how poor of a film this be and decide to make sure they be blame only for their 5 minute . seriously . seriously . people and natalie portman be not a good actress . she be be not a pixie dream girl wait to be yours . and maggie gyllenhaal and why . be you people act or just regurgitate performance from other movie . i be look at you natalie portman ( garden state and closer ) and elijah wood ( sin city ) and catalina sandino moreno ( maria full of grace ) . one final comment on the acting represent i give double kudos to nick nolte for act and look more humane than you have in age or perhaps ever will again . find his short on youtube a his 5 minute be quite enjoyable . write short story be very difficult and only a handful of author have get it right . i be think of ernst hemingway and raymond carver and f. scott fitzgerald and and john cheever and just to name a few . it be much hard than write a full novel and only the truly talented can accomplish this . the same can be say about short film . it appear that only one director will live on in the annals of history . if you uphold paris a a gem to be discover and reflect through your own lens with your own story and then do not expect to enjoy this movie at all . the director either do not care or be lazy . in either scenario and by the time you be read this it mean you rent it . praise be that you do not pay 10 dollar a head in theater for it .
