have love paris and je taime and i highly anticipate this film and i admit i go in with high expectation and but be sorely disappointed for a number of reason . although and i be not expect a re make of paris in new york i be expect the same structure . what i like about paris be the breakup of the neighborhood . you get a sense of each director style and the story they want to tell . in ny and there be no clear separation of the story and at different point in the film and character from different story run into each other which make me confuse a to who i be watch and what exactly be go on . also and the switch in directing be evident but confuse since there be no flow . another thing i love about the paris film be the different take on love . it wasn not all romantic . there be love between parent and their child and unrequited love and a lonely and middle age woman yearn for love etc . and it explore so many layer of the complexity of love between human . ny seem to only go for an edgy and over the top sexuality . there be some redeemable short ( the old couple have spend a lifetime together and julie christie short ) and but overall theny film do not evoke any emotion for me . i do not connect with any of the character like i do with paris . i remember watch paris and feel a deep sadness and loneliness and yearning and hopefulness and wonder . it just have so much soul . for me and there be no soul in the ny film . maybe if i have go into it without have paris loom in the back of my brain a a comparison this film might have elicit a more favorable response and but a a self title re take of paris and je taime i be sorely disappointed .
