Tribute to Paris

This is a small video I made with some photos I took during my holidays in Paris in spring 2008. The soundtrack is Craig Armstrong's "Weather Storm" from his album "Piano Works". If you search on youtube for it, you'll find the video by which I was inspired.

@reeferskankpot I'm a proud European and French. And my only nazi neighbors live in England. I remember this British TV show where they showed that 90% of "pure English" were no more than bastards coming from the 4 corners of the world, despite their being convinced of their genealogy. Typical delusional. Truth is, you guys have become no more than an ersatz of Americans. You eat like them, speak like them, watch their shows, buy their music, etc... No character, no identity.

Paris is the epitome of the paradox of modernity: platicity, glamour, shallowness, futility, ephimeral beauty to cover up all the misery, death, hunger, desease, explotation and degradation upon which they rest

@eliaviel1 And to have been travelling around the World, it is the same attitude everywhere, it's not only French.

+ most of French people are tired of stupid ideas or clichés foreigner think about us, ( ref to reeeferskankpot....)

Paris, for example, is not only a tourist destination, it is a real city, with people in it! :P So, if you go deeper than your expectations or wait, you'll see, French people are, maybe not the most but close to, very friendly to others.

[TheCapitaineCarnage]

@eliaviel1 There is an easy answer, it is because you expect too much, you hope from them ( us ...) to be tourist attraction, but we are not. Most of the tourist of today ( especially Americans...) tend to forget that France is a country, not only a tourist destination, we have our own troubles, our lives ... So, when you see a guy from outside who doesn't even try to be polite, or even try to speak at least 2 words in French, you don't wanna be friendly with them.

[reeferskankpot]

@eliaviel1 unfortunately french people have to smell themselves, so you get serious body odour, (because we all know the frogs are filthy twats who only take a glasgow shower - a quick spray of deodarant and a shake of after shave, and thats if youre lucky) mixed with the putrid stench of rotting onions and garlic, oozing from the pores in their skin, and with all that rooting food is where the maggots come in, thats why the frogs are big girly cowardy custard mamby pamby, smelly gits

@eliaviel1

I'm french and parisian. I believe it's because the Parisians dont know they feel guilty about beheading their king and queen in 1793. It's decadence, the feeling of having lost its past greatness...monarchy, empire, colonies etc...
