Paris Je T'aime 巴黎我愛妳

"Paris Je t'aime 巴黎,我愛你" is a collective film made by a bunch of world-known directors and actors including Natalie Portman, Juilet Binoche etc.It's no surprising that this is another typical story praising about the beauty of the city. 

But besides all the good things, theres also quite some bad things to be seen. for example there's a clip tells of an American tourist who accidentally made a visual contact with a kissing lover. This instantly provokes the boyfriend and in the end gave the American kick in the ass. Other stories like there's an old couple which the husband is having an affair and planning to get a divorce with his wife, and in the end breaks up with her until realizing that the wife got a fatal disease. 

I think the definition of beauty comes in many ways. The shape of a outstanding model may be figure of perfection; but is the appearance of a abused prostitute also shares the same beauty? I think the answer is "yes". No matter good or bad, it all reveals the true beauty of Paris. 

I wonder when do we get to make a film about the story of Taipei. 


Paris maybe a place of history, of beauty, of modern but it was also built upon a past of corruption and obscenity. All great cities have walked difficult steps until reaching maturity. New York, London, Tokyo, Shanghai and etc. Taipei itself shares the same characteristics. We've been through political periods from colonization, the 228 incident, the martial law 戒嚴 to democracy. We have unique features like Taipei 101, Di-Hua street, the Shi-Lin night market, Tamshui, Jiou-Fen. We also have problems like bad traffics, disorganized streets and buildings, 
overabundant drug abuses. 

Taipei itself is a book of stories. 

I really do hope one day we could have our own , "Taipei, Je'taime 台北,我愛妳"
