I swear I don’t even remotely understand Paris’ reputation as the most beautiful city in the world, that thing has been a sewer shithole since Methuselah’s birth.
I only care about this film because of fitgirl
Paris reminds me of Birmingham in terms of the smell and the calm/welcoming locals
Is that movie even worth watching?
I don’t see a difference between then and now, I’ve seen both.
If it’s ugly now, it was ugly then too. If anything it’s more liveable now because the infrastructure is less oriented towards cars and more towards pedestrians and cyclists
Angry delusional boomer detected. Paris is better than in 2000 imo. It’s cleaner, has fewer cars.
I would shoot him in the face if he tries to ruin such masterpiece with a sequel.
City of shite more like
Just to remind them: Their most important building is a bunch of scaffolding shaped like the letter A
Looks like an edgy boomer attention-seeking statement.
I don’t think Paris is worse than 20 years ago as a whole, regardless we consider it as a shithole, the city of light or a bit of both.
However, during the last years, there have been very vocal people seething and ranting against Paris becoming more bicycle friendly and less car-centric.
I, for one, prefer the city with lots of bicycle lanes and car-free seine banks.
Someone who has to drive in paris in a car might have a different view
Is that fitgirl
Is that fitgirl
Who cares about the movie? I want another piano piece like “Comptine D’ un Autre Ete” (French for: Paris sucks).
(OK… the movie was pretty decent, but still…)
Always has been.
Always has been.
For what it’s worth, it is the only movie that manages to weaken me to a state where I briefly consider the crazy notion of “omg, Life in Paris ain’t so bad, maybe… NO!” and I will always have mad respect for Jeunet for achieving this feat.
But yeah, all that to say that I’m not surprised by the quote.
My school had a trip to Paris in 2001; it was nice enough. But my teacher had her purse stolen the first evening, so I don’t buy that Paris was just wonderful when Amélie was filmed
I have to go their for work premier vision in a shithole called Villepinte. The metro stinks of rotten eggs and a whore’s boudoir 🤢 God I’am going to get stabbed or kidnapped at Gard du Nord🥴

I though it always was??

You can’t beat self hating french.
Did they Le Corbusier it?
The immense crush I had on Audrey Tautou back when that film came out almost convinced me to visit Paris even though I knew I wouldn’t see her there riding about on the back of a moped.
“He also cited difficulties of shooting in Paris ***due to multiple construction sites around the city***, so Paris is ugly now”
Stupid clickbait.
*Now?*
“now”
I don’t know if it’s because the French teacher made us watch it during class, but I always thought this movie was overrated.
She’s magnifique though
