*********** SPOILERs GALORE***************** so read at your own peril,but by now I hope anybody who reads these comments know the film already, and are here to find out more about the film, eh?

We all float.......... don't we, in life? And we all wish we could sing as well as them singers do! And in tune! In a way, this is like a "Karaoke" movie to express how we feel inside using the tunes that suit the moment and acting it out, too. At least, that's what I kept thinking, instead of thinking that this film is purely a tribute to Potter and all the classic chansons.

But it's undoubtedly a masterpiece. To weave the story so well with the tunes is a remarkable achievement, the writers who also acted in the film know their material very well! C'est la vie indeed, as good things turn bad and bad things turn good and what was unknown is all of a sudden discovered and passed on and misunderstandings are cleared up.

Yes we all love Paris, and that view is vital, it's a metaphor for how things must be seen to be understood, how that heavenly site is exactly why the imagination stir the soul and love blossoms in that city. It is the clarity that cannot be and shall not be blocked, and for those who try to subvert that clarity will be exposed and punished.....! And then there are those who simply shrug and say that such is life and we move on, Paris will always be Paris, with its hysterics controlling the sights and the rest swimming through it without actually affecting anything.

Ahhhhhhhh............ j'aime Paris, aussi.
