New York, I Love you, though the film is a bore

New York I Love You is one of those movies that on paper they looked nice, a known distribution and solvent at the scene of one of the cities most beloved films.

Unfortunately remains just that: something that could be very good, but that except for some sporadic shots end up bored, and thank goodness that lasts an hour and a half Justito, because if I do not think that would have ended up falling asleep (I went to an evening session on a weekday, but when the movie is good, I assure you I never sleep attacks)

The problem I see is that it is a movie without plot. When I thought I would chose a series of short stories, I knew that each had its director and cast, which would eventually converge in a common bond, which would give some sense of history. But no, I was wrong. Are independent stories, but relate in most cases, as a character repeats, but few, opening and closing without interspersed between them, so it is not given the film the consistency that I miss and would have become much more rounded.

Some of the characters could have used to link the stories more and we would not have the feeling of having seen something unfinished. At the end of the day the distribution is quite broad, and well: Andy Garcia, James Caan, Natalie Portman, Robin WRIGHT ...

Still, some of the stories are entertaining, and I recognize that in just under ten minutes, which is what comes last is difficult to open and close something.

For example, the opening story, with Andy Garcia, right, like that of the school dance, or strangers who meet by night in the street. The Natalie Portman, of which I am true fan, I was disappointed, like others that I ended up saying nothing.

Finally, after thinking to find common bonds, apart from obvious that all take place in the same city, it may be that appearances and first impressions are often deceiving. Asked to imagine, I think this may be the pattern that all directors have continued to provide this consistency, saying at first encounter. Maybe it's very obvious but, as I said, the day I saw him probably was a little thick, so you have to give him another chance, yes in a while.

On the use of the framework that gives New York, I do not seem very remarkable. Yes, some of Central Park, Skyline view from Brooklyn with one of the bridges in the background, and little else. I suspect that leaving the five boroughs, but was not sure because there is no indication at any time. I also think you are trying to bring up a sample of the different groups of the city as a multitude of races, social classes, ages ...

A comparison may be unfortunate, given the expertise of Woody Allen to portray New York, but I think in the last film of this, discussed here a couple of weeks, the city stands out much more and better than in New York I love you despite this being a film tribute to the city and its people.

Score: 5, justito approved and pending review.
