Paris, Je T'Aime (continued)

Quais de Seine (Ve arrondissement)

I like this short film because it shows how love doesn't care about backgrounds. A young man is hanging out with his friend. His friends like to taunt women passing by. Then, the young man finds friendship with a young Muslim woman. Simple, but the moral

Film pendek ini gw suka karena menunjukan cinta tidak melihat latar belakang. Seorang pemuda nongkrong dengan temen-temennya. Temen-temen dia suka ngegoda cewek lewat. Sang pemuda lalu menemukan hubungan dengan seorang muslimah. Simpel, tapi pesannya menusuk!



Bastille (XIIe arrondissement)

A man is prepared to have a divorce when his wife showed him the docter's report. SHE HAS LEUKIMIA?! dum dum dum~?! Then, he decides to stay with his wife. After pretending to be a man in love, he once again become a man in love.
This film depicts its story in a very... different yet cool way! Serious through and through but you'll laugh at the small slapstick jokes it has!

Seorang om-om udah mau mencerai istrinya, tiba-tiba istrinya memperlihatkan kertas dokter. DIA KENA LEUKIMA STADIUM AKHIR?! dum dum dum~?! Lalu ia memilih untuk mendampingi istrinya. Setelah berpura-pura menjadi orang yang jatuh cinta, akhirnya ia pun menjadi orang yang jatuh cinta.
Ini film menggunakan cara penyampaian yang... keren parah! Serius sepanjang film tapi selalu diselipin lelucon slapstick yang kocak!


Tour Eiffel (VIIe arrondissement)

This film is written and directed by a French animator. It's a love story of the parents of a kid. Both parents are mimes. This film very funny because it shows us a character who simply wants to find happiness in the society.

Film yang satu ini ditulis dan disutradarai oleh seorang animator. Menceritakan kisah cinta kedua orang tua seorang anak kecil. Keduanya pantomim. Film ini kocak banget karena memperlihatkan karakter pantomim yang berusaha menemukan kebahagiaan diantara manusia biasa.


Place des fetes (XIXe arrondissement)

A Nigerian-French men is dying and is being treated by a woman paramedic. It turns out that he has fallen in love with here some time previously. By the time she realizes, he died. She held the coffe cups in her hand that he previously asked for them, she was crying.
In the begining, it was rather biased, the story. But in the end, it was a very touching and sad film. Rarely I felt so bad looking at 2 cups of coffe.

Seorang pria Nigeria-Prancis, sekarat dan sedang dirawat seorang paramedis wanita. Ternyata ia telah lama jatuh cinta pada pandangan pertama pada dahulu kala. Pada akhirnya pria tersebut mati, dan wanita itu telat sadar. Dengan sedih ia memegang dua gelas kopi yang dipesan pria tersebut untuk mereka berdua.
Pada awalnya, film ini tidak jelas. Namun pada akhirnya, film ini sedih banget. Jarang-jarangnya gw ngerasa begitu sedih ngeliat 2 gelas kopi.


Quartier de la Madeleine (VIIIe arrondissement)

This one, is honestly very cool! Because, it's black and white (plus a bit of red, etc). The theme is vampire love~ but much better than *cough* TWILIGHT *cough* (eventhough I haven't watched it yet haha)
One late night, a backpacker saw a vampiress biting (and killing) her victim. OMG~ Then he was ambushed by her, but they were lovestrucked with each other. The vampiress wanted to leave, but then the backpacker took a broken bottle, cut his hand, and offers his blood to her. She refused. OH NO! His blood won't stop flowing! Shocked, he fell off a stair and hit his head hard. He was dying in a pool of blood. But before he died, the vapiress gave here blood to him. And so he lived on as a vampire. In the end they 'kissed', aka the bit each others neck. AWW~ SO SWEET~

Yang satu ini, jujur keren abis. Soalny hitam putih (ya tambah dikit warna merah dll). Temanya cinta vampir, tapi jauh lebih keren dari *uhuk2* twilight *uhuk2* (padahal belom nonton haha).
Suatu malam, seorang backpacker melihat seorang vampir menyerang mangsa manusia, kaget dong~ hehe. Terus, dia juga dikagetin sama itu vampir! Tapi, setelah saling tatap, mereka kayak saling terkesima. Vampirnya pergi, tapi backpackernya malah ngambil pecahan botol, ngiris tangannya, dan nawarin. Tapi vampirnya gak sudi. EH! Luka di tangannya gak nutup! Darahnya bocor haha. Terus dia shock, jatoh ke tangga, dan sekarat berdarah-darah. Sebelom mati, vampir itu ngasih darahnya ke mulut dia. Alhasil dia tetep hidup, cuma jadi vampir juga. Mereka akhirnya 'ciuman', alias saling menggigit leher masing-masing. AWWW~ LUTCHU NAH~


Faubourg Saint-Denis (Xe arrondissement)

A blind man, mistakenly believed that his girlfriend is braking up with him. Then he had a flashback of the times they had. Their first encounter, getting closer, loving each other, and the decline of their relationship.
This film shows the paranoia of the blind man with such power. We can really feel the emotional shock that is happening with him.

Seorang pria buta, salah mengira bahwa pacarnya ingin memutuskannya. Lalu ia membayangkan kembali masa-masa mereka bertemu, makin dekat, saling mencintai, hingga mulai menjauh.
Film ini benar-benar menunjukan paranoia dari pria buta tersebut. Dan kita dapat merasakan betapa terguncang emosinya pada saat itu.





I wanted to write more of the movies, but there is so much!

Gw pengen sih nulis lebih banyak lagi, tapi males banget!
