I’ve been feeling the pull and split of New York and Paris a lot again lately. How is it possible to love two so radically different cities so much? To want to be in both cities, and not give either up?
But since I am in New York, I’ve been dying to get a hit of Paris through Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris—I just haven’t had the time yet. Hopefully this week. In the meantime, I watched Manhattan on DVD. Somehow, I don’t think I’ve ever seen it. And, wow, what a love letter to New York. Just what I needed to see right now. Reassurance that this city is amazing and I am so lucky to be here and that, oui, I am still in love. And I don't care what anyone says, Woody Allen just cracks me up.
We saw it not that long ago here, on the telly.
ReplyDeleteAnd he cracks us up too .. I will see anything that he has made.
I am in the mood for Vickie Barcelona again .. waiting to see Midnight in Paris and worried about subtitles .. how much dialogue will be in French .. will I care? I don't think so :)
We spent a while tonight talking (again) about living in France.
:o)
I LOVE Manhattan, such a good movie! ;D
ReplyDeleteAnd I also want to see Midnight in Paris, it looks so good!
Paris and New York= <3
p.s. I just was reminded of the movies New York, I Love You and Paris Je T'Aime...Hmm, I guess NY and Paris have been in a lot of movies! :D
I too have felt the pull, but PARIS will always be my first choice.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite movies of all time. The building I grew up in is in the opening (visible @ :13) I always got a kick out of that.
ReplyDeleteMidnight in Paris is not as perfect as Manhattan, but it was charming, and Amy, brace yourself.... it will make you CRAZY nostalgic for Paris...but in a good way! xx m
I don't know if Midnight in Paris will EVER come to the cinemas in this little town on the Minnesota prairies...but if it does come to Minneapolis, I'm definitely making a trip north!
ReplyDeleteI went to see Midnight In Paris, this weekend and I loved it! I didn't want the movie to end.
ReplyDeleteSaw Midnight in Paris -- LOVED it. But actually, I haven't seen Manhattan, so I'm going to do that this week! Thanks for the reminder :)
ReplyDeleteSo, you have two loves! Monogamy isn't for everyone. ;-)
ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed Midnight in Paris. A delightful trifle!
The cinematography in Midnight in Paris is so lovely. The city looks so beautiful - at midnight, in the rain, and in bloom. Enjoyed the movie. A nice way to spend the afternoon and then come home and pine for Paris.
