CRI:電影回顧之《紐約，我愛(ài)你》
數(shù)不盡的摩天大樓，看不完的車(chē)水馬龍，這里便是不可思議的紐約。懷揣各種夢(mèng)想的人們，來(lái)自不同地域，處于不同境遇，他們巧遇在街頭的小酒館，邂逅在街角的路燈下，因?yàn)楹闷娑徽劊驗(yàn)榧拍谀莻€(gè)充滿巧合的城市，演澤著別樣的風(fēng)情與不同浪漫。

Movie Review: New York, I Love You
For my movie review this week, I\'m taking a look at a collective cinematic work "New York, I Love You".
Based on the success of "Paris je t\'aime" in 2006, movie producer Emmanuel Benbihy continues his "Cities of Love" series. In the latest installment "New York, I Love You", he follows the same format by knitting standalone stories yet putting all of them under one theme of "finding love".
American movie makers seem to have a rage for New York City. Every year countless movies are set in the Big Apple, switching back and forth among the recognizable city landmarks. It is the same with this movie, for which Emmanuel invites 11 world-renowned directors to tell an ensemble of stories that all happened in the city. You can tell this is New York City at the first sight of the movie.
But even if "New York, I Love You" contains as many as 11 tales with the New York street scenes throughout, it\'s still unable to capture the city\'s pulse or showcase the peculiar and unique aspects of the city, which finally serves the New-York-labeled food tastes as nothing special.
There is no denying that love stories could be quite homogenized in reality: in today\'s world a white collar worker in Beijing could face the same love problems besetting a London office lady. However, it doesn\'t mean that movie makers could jump out of a particular cultural context when elaborating a universal theme.
