Paris Je T’aime




I always remember one of my favourite films when I heard about France. The title of the film is “Paris Je T’aime” (Paris I Love You). Actually, this film consists of 18 short movies. Different actor and actress, different director, different script-writer, different setting, but same theme: Paris. You’ll feel that you’re travelling around Paris when watching this film. Why? Because, this film serves you several beautiful places around Paris. I’m sure you’ll fall in love with Paris (or more) after watching this film.

My favourite short movie in this film is a story about the young French Boy and Moslem Girl. They met at the street that next a big river in Paris. The boy helped the girl that slipped because of the little stone. After that, they talked very close. This is the conversation between them that makes me very like this short movie.

Franois : You have a beautiful hair. Why are you forced to cover it up?
Zarka : I’m not forced. It was my choice.
Franois : Too bad. Because you are pretty.
Zarka : Thanks. But, do you mean that with it I’m ugly?
Franois : I didn’t mean that.
Zarka : You and your pals only insult women. Why do you talk like that, even though you know they don’t like it?
Franois : . . .
Zarka : It’s enough that I find myself pretty. When I wear my headscarf, I feel I have a faith—an identity. I feel good, and that’s also beauty.
