New York I Love You

New York I Love You is a very confusing movie! Honestly, I did not enjoy the movie although it has many well-known actors in it like; Natalie Portman, Bradley Cooper, Orlando Bloom, Blake Lively and many more! It is one of those movies that has many stories in it and keeps jumping around and I think I am not smart enough to understand movies like this. 100% attention needs to be given to watch movies like this.

What I understand from the movie is that they are trying to show that New York is the city where many cultures and different types of people can be found. This movie is not like other normal movies, it shows the other side of New York, the reality. I find the whole movie very dodgy, all the places and people in it. It gives me a feeling that there are many lost souls in the movie.  That many people don't know what they are doing with their lives. The movie shows a scene of the story of two people, then jumps to another scene of different story and people, totally separated stories, but in the end everyone is linked together. To me there is no end to any of the stories in the movie and it kind of leaves everything hanging and i don't like it. There is no consistency. However I find the shooting style very artistic.

There are quite a few movies that I have seen that have similar style to this movie. Like "Valentine's Day"

Even the movie poster's design is the same! The heart shape with faces in it.. Valentine's Day is also one of those that have different characters, separate lives but everyone is also inter-connected. But this movie is much brighter, funnier and happier, not as gloomy as New York I Love You. Another similarity is Bradley Cooper is in both the movies! I've watched Valentine's Day but did not want to watch New York I Love You when i saw it screening in the cinemas because it doesn't seem attractive to me as it looks similar to Valentine's day. It's not something new & fresh to me.
