"Paris Syndrome" is an interesting concept. I live in Hollywood, and I think there is a "Hollywood Syndrome" too. Tourists expect it to be all glitzy and glamorous, but it's kinda not. And it was kind of fun to hear you mention that French people are fascinated with New York, Brooklyn, and Hollywood - Whenever I fill out a detaxe form or check into a hotel in France, my address usually gets a reaction and a few interested questions :-) Cool vid, thanks! PS: You can't see the Hollywood Sign from everywhere in Hollywood, either ;-)
ah yeah you're right, there's totally something like that with Hollywood too!
I'm sure it happens with London, too! The streets are definitely not paved with gold! 😄
I'm from Sheffield, so I know that big cities are dirty, noisy places!
The fact with the Hollywood sign was a new for me 😳😳😳
Yes we are interessed because it is far away and lot of french people don't have the money to travel. If we look on TV New-York is only wall-street or Brooklin and it is full of murderers and self-made men, it is very exotic. So, when you meet someone coming from USA you have a lot of questions about the "real" america, because it is intersting
I think Paris Syndrome also has to do with the fact that Japan is incredibly clean. Tokyo definitely has the cleanest streets of any city I’ve ever been to in the world. So I can imagine that it is quite a shock.
The french girl at the restaurant says "She wants her steak cooked better"... You would say she wants it cooked more, the way she said it is so rude. Not that it justifies the reaction from the waiter/cook but it made me pause.
ah iteresting we didn't even notice that, it's true that she said "mieux cuit". it should be "plus cuit", but what she said also kind of means more so it kind of works
Also she offered to switch meals with her. But they had the same meal. In English for meat we say, 'well done' for meat that is cooked to the point where it is not pink in the middle. Maybe that is why she says cooked better, to mean cooked more.
That’s just really false. The waitress will always ask you if you yant it: saignant, medium or well cook. And if it’s not good you can ask and it’s not a problem. All the show is really really cliché. As a French people it’s really funny and ennoying for me
@@soleneguyot7041 Déjà que je suis plutôt du genre à manger même si c'est pas très bon, je peux absolument pas m'imaginer de demander à ce que ça soit "mieux cuit"... C'est vraiment une tournure insultante, on peut juste demander de le cuire plus, ça coûte rien d'être un peu sympa.
Maintenant si on parle de la scène c'est pas à cause de la tournure que le chef la rembarre donc effectivement c'est pas réaliste, mais bon c'était pas vraiment mon propos ici ;)
I find this show ultra-cringey because it feels like it gives Americans permission to act badly when in France and still get rewarded. Being loud or overly assertive is really rude and makes French people not like us.
:/
right? I felt like it was trying to say 'wow, look at all these uptight French people who can't appreciate a friendly, cute American girl' but what I got is 'wow, this woman is unbearably rude, I understand why nobody likes her'
@@brendakerber7923 I know! She never sais bonjour and she always tries to make people in France be more American.
The only reason she "gets away" with anything is because she's very pretty, looks like she fits in racially, and is apparently ultra valuable at her job
I don’t know how anyone drew that conclusion. The show is embarrassing and is an example of how to not act or behave (much like Carrie in SATC, both are created by Darren Star).
Emily in paris season 2 should get you guys as consultants :)
I wish they would. But it seems that show is all about cheap amusement, nothing authentic.
hahaha ☺
@@joelmiller674 Duh, there is a huge chasm between "deep" and the super-shallowness of this show. It doesn't entertain most people, because it is utterly foolish and insulting.
@@elipotter369 they are shooting the 2nd season in Budapest :P
@@joelmiller674 No one's trying to make it deep though. The writers just do the bare minimum for representation regarding casting and most times it's just misconstruing Paris or caricaturizing everything to romanticized proportions. The producers said it was a "love letter" to French culture but so many people are unimpressed or downright insulted with how it portrays said culture.
I realized the video is long only when you said it was - 20 minutes passed by surprisingly quickly. I really hope you cover the whole season! All the remarks on the stereotypes and the bits where you go to the city and of course about the language are really interesing and useful! Thank you!
oh great to hear that :))
I agree!
The thing I fault Emily most for is knowing nothing about about French culture! With youtube and a cellphone she has no excuse for not knowing about French culture. And not just observing a couple days before being so aggressive. Common sense.
I am trying to teach my 7 year old spoken french the way I wish I learned it. It's a work in progress lol
I was in Paris for the first time last year and managed to go there right during the metro strike, it was very confusing. Unfortunately the first person we interacted with, who worked at a train station, was really rude and laughed at us for trying to buy train tickets and accidentally buying the wrong ones. Thankfully he was the exception, everyone else were much nicer and helpful even though my French is limited to basically bonjour, merci and pardon (I also think it helped that I made it clear that English is not my first language and that I am making an effort to communicate on equal terms). Your videos makes me want to try to learn some more French though and go back to France!
oh wow yeah that's unfortunate that you were there around that time. It was so stressful and crazy then. everyone was fighting to get a scooter to go back home, etc ... it was a mess
Too bad. You known, i’m french and i dont live in Paris. Each time i have to buy tickets i ask to someone. And i feel theses places are quite stressfull. Lot of people waiting, lot of mouvement. Living in Paris is really different than living in other place in France. French peop’e arguying a lot on this subject.
I like you guys analyzing this series from a french perspective. I would also love to see a walking tour of a part of Paris.
-History teacher and new subscriber 🙂
ah great to hear that :))
Maia reacting to the photoshopped Eiffel Tower is me when movies/shows depict people going from a place uptown to a place way downtown in NYC in less than 10 minutes. IT'S NOT THAT CLOSE 😄
hahaha ☺☺
A thousand times this! They zip around Manhattan in minutes, and always find parking right in front of the building. Drives me nuts.
or when they are depicting a day in NYC and the locations are in 3 boroughs but protagonists still feel upbeat. I'm like, "how are you not exhausted?"
Just happy to learn facts, length not important. Merci!
Glad you liked it! :))
I've visited Paris last year and I found it amazing. The streets aren't that bad for a big city such as Paris. People weren't rude, they just seemed busy working. Greets from Belgium! Oh and loved the vids! Keep up the good work.
oh cool thanks! and thanks for sharing your experience with us :)
Regarding the formulation “veuillez” I would also stress that it is an imperative form giving an order. That’s why this formulation isn’t appropriate and can be also taken as rude. Especially without a “s’il vous plaît”.
yeah exactly ☺
it sounds like a computer error message too
I think i watched an interview where Emily Collins said she had to pretend because she actually can speak french😂
haha ^^
It’s Lily Collins😁
Lily Collins can speak French ? Okay a Plus point for her acting, bc it was so bad that I wanted to turn it the TV every time she spoke.
I haven´t found any videos of her speaking french. She said she grew bilingual but got worse with years and did not improve though she stayed longer in Paris for the shooting. And if an american says he/she speaks a foreign language, well, don´t take it too seriously.
Zschokks Did you really imply to not trust someone because of their nationality?
Yessss, please do the whole show
ok ! ☺☺
before u cover the whole show, 2nd season is coming out.
Sylvie correcting Emily's l'heure gets me LOL, sylvie is so kind to try to teach Emily.
At the end of the filming, i think the whole French filming crew improves their English because they have to speak english to emily the whole time....
ah yeah ? good to know :))
I was surprised to find out that the actor who plays Emily is as old as 31 and that her Asian friend is just 29 in real life.
Is 31 old for you? 😂😅. She looks about 29 to me. Lily Collins I mean
@@izzywoods794 No, but I guess she's supposed to look like 21, which she does
In the Grand Est of France, you'll receive a fine if you're caught not picking up your pet's feces.
ah in Paris too, but the police can't be everywhere at any moment so yeah it doesn't really work lol
A walking tour w/ random facts would be so cool!! I’d love to watch
oh great ! ok we'll do that after lockdown ..haha ☺
ahh i'm so happy you're continuing with this series i really liked the first video and i hope you do the whole first season! found your channel through these videos and now i'm totally motivated to refresh my school-taught french :)
oh so glad to hear that! :))
Please keep the lenghty episodes coming! I will NEVER watch Emily in Paris but I enjoy your reviews so much!
oh ok ! ☺☺
Yeah don’t bother, it’s really not worth the hype
SAMEEE
This is really interesting to watch. The whole time I was watching the series I just kept thinking about how rude she was being, like the steak scene, and how unbelievably cliché everything seemed. I hated everything, but found myself strangely addicted.
haha yeah they're good making bingeable shows^^
I like how empathic Maia is being taking about Paris syndrome)
:)
Vos vidéos sont les meilleures critiques de Emily à Paris sur TH-cam.
ah cool merci ☺☺
Even if I’m from Paris (la banlieue), I really appreciated your tour of the city. I’m currently living in Brazil and I miss France and Paris so much 😢. Thank you both for sharing this, it makes me so happy 😊✨
I watched this show with my brazilian boyfriend and I cringed so much at the clichés 😅
How are you liking Brazil? 😊
It's fiction...Paris was very welcoming when I visited there.
ah cool ^^
It’s not. I’m quite often in Paris, bc my family has a business there and people are that rude there not every time, but often enough for me to notice.
I've always found Parisians very polite. Especially when I was travelling with children they always helped me carry the pram over the metro gates and up and down stairs without me asking. They were always patient with my awful French. I think I've been there about 20 times and never experienced any rudeness.
The situation with the steak actually happened to me in Paris when I was about 15. I only liked well done steak at the time and it was still quite bloody when served. I asked for it to be cooked more and the server returned it to me, only cooked a bit more, and said "now it's like a book" and left.
oh sorry to hear that.. I guess it happens sometimes, some servers can be real jerks :/
Something that you skipped and I'd like to know, does the "le vagin n´est pas masculin!" tweet makes sense to you? I mean, it was a good observation?
ah yeah we skipped that because we don't know how youtube reacts to those "subjects" unfortunately.. I know this looks funny to non francophones, but that's just how the language works, it's a really old language, comes from latin, it has evolved a lot etc... so we can't explain why but yeah there's no point getting "mad" about it. Another example is, the male parts is "le p..." but there's a slang word that's feminine "la b...." so yeah. there's maybe an explanation but no one knows it and it's not that big of a deal. hope it clears that out :)
vagin come from the latin word vagina, which mean "fourreau" or "sheath" in english.
I love to hear you guys speaking!
As an asian girl who knows nothing about Paris I actually enjoyed the series, but seeing so many negative reviews about it now I kinda see why. Anyway your review is the best because instead of bashing and mocking the series you “correct” any misperception in it in a very calm and composed way.. please do it for all episodes😍
oh thank you so much ! it means a lot :))
Wow I'm learning alot in one episode! I honestly think I also had the Paris syndrome at one point. I was in europe for the first time when I was a teenager and had too high of an expectation of Paris. And I had imagined it to be magical. Lmao.i remember feeling a little disappointed at how normal the city was hahaha. But later in my adult life I came back to Paris for a business trip (in 2017) and I had such a great time with my French colleagues. I then learned to have a a more realistic view and a newfound appreciation for the city.but I would love an episode on some random facts during a tour around some famous places
oh thanks for sharing your experience it's so interesting! Paris is where I grew up so I really can't relate. glad to hear you found a better appreciation for the city though ^^
I think the Paris Syndrome is very common in Japan. I have a lot of Japanese friends and they always have a fantasy about Paris that is very different from reality. It’s pretty sad..
ah yeah :/
I don't actually think most Americans believe all of this stuff, especially like all French ppl are so open to cheating/being friends with the other 'woman.' I wouldn't believe that about any culture.
I think when most Americans watch this they know it's for entertainment purposes, and know stuff like this isn't true and is exaggerated, just like normal American tv shows.
Next time maybe do a reaction video of the Last Tango in Paris starring Marlon Brando.
ah cool idea :)
Ah noooo! That female actor (now deceased) in this film was raped by Brando.
I love thissss so much, thx! for your opinions guys I think the time of the video it's ok!
oh cool we're glad you enjoy those videos :))
I really enjoyed this, especially the tour around! Not too long either. Merci beaucoup! ^^
Glad you enjoyed it!☺☺
I’m enjoying this for several reasons, like 1) I like how y’all show the Eiffel tower’s true proximity and how it looks in the background vs the film trick they did because I’ve worked with films and am always trying to help people (mostly young people/teen students) understand that they can’t compare themselves and their real lives to movies & tv because it’s not real. This has of course sort of diminished a bit with the tech savvier ones but not as many as you’d think. 2) I personally really like y’all doing the videos and explanations together, it’s such a nice complementary team haha! It’s man/woman POV, French/American POV, and like bf/gf POV which are all fun and different and nice to hear. And 3), I like the way the show is a good example for y’all to bounce off so many details and information I might now have noticed. For example, that bonjour thing from ep 1 was a revelation for me lol. I could have heard you explain it and then probably would have forgotten it, but with a funny example like this show it sticks better. Visual learner I guess lol. I’m enjoying this, thanks guys! ♥️
Oh and quick sidenote, we pronounce it “learnt” here in TX too lol! So that was a funny detail.
Love the mini tour of paris with the old traditions
ah ok we'll do that when we can go out a bit more avec lockdown ☺
Thanks for doing another Emily in Paris video! I think the video length is fine because everything you said was interesting. Can’t wait to see the next 😊
Yay, thank you!☺
I enjoy the videos and like that you focus a lot on the language. I would love to see the walking tours your mentioned!
Noted! we'll do that after lockdown :)
I like that these videos are long! I love the cultural and historical contexts you both provide whenever you see or hear something
ah cool good to know thanks for your feedback ☺☺
It would be cool if you did a tour with your random cool facts about paris but in french :)
ow ok yeah we'll do that after lockdown then ☺☺
the paris sydrome is such interesting to me, bc Paris is one of the dirtiest cities I ever been to. Also maybe it's just me, but Parisians are kinda rude.
They are indeed
depending on where you go, nyc can be quite dirty as well. many tourists didn't know we had homeless people until they took the trains
The entire city of Paris smells like it’s been marinated in piss
@TatzRules Yay there are rats in every big city lol
@@MyratheDunmer it doesn't seem as romantic when you say it like that.
Ce n'est pas de la CGI, c'est juste un effet de zoom de leur caméra, qui permet de faire reculer le premier plan, et de rapprocher l'arrière plan.
haha ouais j'y ai pensé après j'aurais dû rajouter un truc en faisant l'edit de la vidéo
Les téléobjectifs ont tendance à rapprocher énormément les plans, et à créer parfois des images très impressionnantes ou bizarres.
Telephoto lenses tend to bring shots very close, and sometimes create very impressive or weird images.
Only thankful for "Emily in Paris" because now I get to enjoy your videos on it :)
I am glad (and lucky, I guess) that I never "dreamed about going to Paris". When I got the chance to spend a few days there, I could truly enjoy Paris for the amazing city it is and not the "Hollywood version" seen on TV. I feel sorry for people suffering from Paris syndrome and shows like this one annoy me with its inaccurate portrayal of the city.
oh glad you enjoy what we do ☺
Same, I feel bad for people who get so shocked by what Paris is like
Three things:
1. Woo-woo - quelle jolie montre ;)
2. I want more of Maïa doing anglophone accents. This is great.
3. Yes! Arrondissement tours! One per episode! Great idea!
haha :)) ok !
I really liked the tours! It's awesome to see that
The whole dropping the 'ne' thing gets me because at school we always spoke so formally and had to say everything carefully and yet nobody in France speaks like that... I left school and my french has changed so much 😂
haha so true! we speak very informally but we also know how to go back to writting properly when we write professional emails for example ^^
that's why when I teach beginner students, I tell them right away that ne is not often used in daily speech...which is honestly more important than formal writing imho
Re your American/British English talk for foreigners speaking English, it's actually a thing for everyone, not just French people ;) I'm from Poland and I know a lot of us mix American and British English on a daily basis. It's because we learn so much through the Internet, TV shows, Netflix and other sources, we don't really catch what's what 😂
ah so interesting! ☺☺
I think it’s a generational thing. When I was a kid in France, it was very, very, not ok to ask for your meat to be cooked differently once you’d received it. It was an insult to the chef. Or if you did, you had to be super,super apologetic and polite.
oh interesting, yeah probably. but even today, if I asked for it to be more cooked I'm defintily not super confortable doing that but I know that the staff will reassure me and say it's ok.
Interesting. My husbands mom grew up in France, and he has trauma due to the embarrassment from all the times his mom sent food back.
I like these videos. TBH I wish they were longer but 20 minutes is fine, I guess.
haha ok we feel more confortable making longer vids now after reading all your comments ☺
When I went to Paris in 2015 (December), I was actually shocked. Don't get me wrong, I've always knew Paris was big...but not THAT big. I thought it was rather small and all the historical places were nearby hahahah
My experience with Paris is that it's a beautiful city...the best I've ever been. I'm a sucker for museums, so Paris was the right place for me. And getting to eat in the garden of a palace was top notch (I ate with my mom in the gardens of the Palace of Louvre...it was magical)
I believe the reason why the Eiffel Tower looks like it's closer than it actually is, is due to the camera compression. The camera has a long focal length. My 200mm lens will make objects and landmarks in the background appear larger and closer in the picture frame.
ah yeah true... I forgot that technology existed lol
A walking tour would be awesome! 😃
ok great we'll do that once lockdown is done !
@@Street_French yes pls! I’d love to hear about and see the spots of random old details like that guillotine story lol.
I don't think they CGI'd that Eiffel Tower shot, I just think they used a really long focal length
yeah you're probably right, I never realized how much it can change perspective before. Now I know that area so well that it was really shocking lol
I love this series! I’ve been taking French and Spanish in school for the past 4 years but I could only choose one language this year so I had to make the difficult choice to drop French. I love the way your videos are allowing me to continue learning about the culture and language even though I’m not officially learning it in school anymore.
It's really funny because back in '09 when when we were "trying" to go to Eiffel Tower with my sister, we would think it's so close but the more we walked, the further it was.
PLUS, I cannot believe how much alike Greece is with France when it comes to strikes. It's soooo funny.
haha ☺
ah yeah ? didn't know there were so many strikes there lol
charlie in paris rhymes when you pronounce it with a french accent! (reference to netflix’s little fun fact lol)
haha nice ☺
Keep doing head reviews I learn a lot!!
Will do!☺☺
Hm, so I experienced some rude behaviour towards students of different nationalities. But never ever towards Americans. The French seem to be in love with American culture. That's why Emily seems so fake. Perhaps if she was... English or Spanish, the attitude would be like th the one in the series.
Omg, I’ve probably said merci beucu while in France many years ago and not known, I had to listen to this part over and over because I can’t hear the difference well
aw it's ok it's a common error :)
I'm glad your guys' channel is growing. I loved your videos on phonetics!! Keep it up hopefully you will get a broader audience with these reaction videos.
ah thanks, we're excited to see our channel grow too ^^
I need to watch those phonetic videos.
I feel like everyone is just super rude in this show. I suppose that's why people think its kind of tone deaf. The commentary on this is pretty interesting.
please keep reviewing all the remaining episodes. I enjoy learning about the REAL French culture thru your comments regarding the show.
oh ok yes we'll keep doing that :)
I really liked the video! The length wasn’t too long for me!
Yay! Thank you! :))
Pour la tour Eiffel, c'est pas forcément un fake. ils se sont peut être posé sur les marches du Panthéon avec un télé-objectif. Regarde la différence de taille entre les lampadaires. Sur ta photo, les lampadaires ont une taille très différente, ce qui signifie que tu as un objectif large (courte focale) avec une perspective prononcée. Sur la gauche la perspective est cavalière ce qui signifie que c'est pris de loin.
haha oui surement en fait lol, je ne savais pas que ça pouvait faire une tel différence ^^
Loving the videos! I hope you’ll do all the episodes. I visited Paris over 20 years ago.🌹I would love if you write out the name of the locations you mentioned in this video. Thank you. La Vie En Rose! Love it when Mindy (Ashley) sings the famous song in E7.
ah merci ! :) oh spoilers haha we're still only on episode 3 lol
Yes to walking tour!
ok ! we'll do that after the confinement :)
I wouldn't say they never judge you on how you order your meat. When I ordered a steak in Paris they told me no to ordering it well done and said they would only go so far as medium well.
I've seen that happen in Australia too - "no, this is as far as it goes (medium)"
oh really ? that's not my experience that's why I say that. And I love eating and going to restaurants, my parents too haha we went to all kinds of restaurants small bistrots to michelin stars haha and yeah I'm usually the type of person to order saignant or à point and never had a comment made to that. I've also asked them to re cook something and I never had any comments. but I believe you, I would say that it's probably an isolated case, it's more common to not get any comment. but never say never yeah I guess
What did you order ? Because there are some type of meat that are just "bad" when it is cooked well done. I guess it was based on the dish that wouldn't fit maybe ? If it was for a steak, it is just a strange restaurant 😅
I love this show. I have never been to France but the meeting scene in episode 1 spoke to me. As a woman in America my communication classes teach me to project in meetings as a woman to compensate for our lighter tone. My family is really loud naturally, I am not but all of my friends are. I would see how this could come off rude to people in France. I also think that is a cultural aspect that's natural for Americans. Your can learn the culture and be apart of the culture without taking away the fact that you are American. I also don't think Emilie acts poorly. There's a difference in being ignorant and uneducated.
When you were discussing "Je ne comprends pas", I was thinking that IRL it's "Pfff, j'ai rien capté" :P
Veuillez continuer faire des videos SVP ;)
ok ! :))
Love the episode review and the walking tour at the end! I like the long format of this video. Thank You for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!☺☺
Really nice video. Thanks Maya and Charlie. I'm learning French and it's always great to see and hear your French.
Also, about the Eiffel Tower looking the way it does - my explanation (could be wrong) - it's because of the lens they're using to film the shot. In television, long lenses are used and long lenses tend to squeeze perspective and things, even being distant will appear pretty close. Would love if you could test this theory though, you'd probably require some really expensive equipment. 😕
Edit: Okay, I commented way too early. At the end when Maya showed the actual location, well, yeah the shot in the show does look fake 😂
This is a fun video.... I was confused by the use of the word "assurer" but I'm just a beginner. A walk around Paris with explanations would be wonderful. Luke An Arizona Cowboy....
ah yeah assurer is kind of tricky to explain
Really appreciated to learn a bit about the Paris syndrome and history of those little boats! Please cover the entire season. I would love to know more about facts against French extreme stereotypes 😊
Paris is 1 town in France (one french people generally don't like much. I only spent 1 day there in all my life, and not because i wanted. Enough to confirm that i didn't like it). If you travel around the country, you will see many, many different kind of places, people, languages, panorama and even folklore. To some extent, there are more variations than even the US, because in the end, France is an unofficial federation of plenty of different countries which still haven't completely meshed up in 1 country, despite the long History (don't say Corsicans that they are french, you will have problems). You can find moutains, swamps, hills, fields, penguins, tropical forests, lions, or even lagoons in France. In this regard, it is a bit like India, the UK, China or Russia. That is probably the most important thing to know about France.
A walking tour would be great! 👏
ah cool ok ! we'll do one after the lockdown ^^
I was once reprimanded in a restaurant in pris because I didn’t finish my salad. The waiter refused to serve me my main dish till I finish the salad
Seriously ??????!!!!!! Were you a tourist ??
@@atomickitten6741 i was actually a Crew on layover
@@fionaleong2388 it’s messed up. Was it at a buffet ? (Sorry for the questions ahah)
what?? wow that's crazy... I've never heard of anything like that lol
yeah good question @assa tiphaine, was it a buffet? but even them wouldn't complain they would just make you pay a fee for not finishing your food
The French always pull stunts like that on Asian tourists. Rude. And racist.
Can you please react to Paul Taylor speaking French?
ah yeah great idea ☺☺ but he's really reallyyy good, he speaks like any other French person so I'm not sure what we can say haha
He speaks better French than many native born French people I know. He can even speak a convincing quebecois French, which is exceedingly gard.
Would love to see a walking tour/random facts video!
ok great! ^^
„They have an idealized image of France, like Macarons, Marie Antoinette..“
I.. What?
How can you even romanticize Marie Antoinette?
That girl was living unhappy and killed even worse. 😅
A walking tour would be fantastic!!😊
ok ! we'll do that after the confinement ☺
@@Street_French thanks!! ☺
Love your comments - très utile.
☺☺
I'm French and I like my meat SUPER well done, and I've had plenty of "Why would you want to ruin it?" comments by waiters... but it's the only way I like it, so I insist. In fact, these days I ask for "HYPER bien cuit, comme pour les Américains" :P
People I really do not understand what is the big deal about this movie Emely in Paris, .... so what....
Big Eiffel Tower might be CGI, but it might also be just a shot with a long range camera. Optical effect of using such a camera creates a different perspective for big distant objects. For example, that's how you can obtain a photo of Eiffel Tower with a huge moon behind it.
very entertaining! However, the bit about the Eiffel (about 16 minutes in) is not valid. You are using a Google map photo I believe which is a very very wide angle lens which will make distant things look much further away - whereas a telephoto lens in that same position will make it look very big and close. I am guessing they used a fairly big telephoto (300mm) or so.
I've never been to Paris, I only saw it in the movies and the videos so I thought my opinion was irrelevant. But the way the showed Paris in the show seemed so unrealistic to me. It was so polished, so perfectly clean with relatively few people on the streets, always blue sky and bright sunlight that it actually kind of lost its charm. If someone had told me some of the scenes were filmed in LA or San Francisco or some other American city, I would've believed them. I'm glad I wasn't wrong
Paris for me was more than I expected...when I get old I hope to live there♥️♥️♥️ I'm saving
To play Devil's Advocate, the show centers around people in the marketing / fashion industry; so if they're a little weird it's not because they're French but because it's their industry. The "everybody has a mistress" thing or whatever, I can buy as realistic if you only apply it to a certain industry instead of the French culture at large. Not that that level of nuance would be present from this dumb show or anything.
I don’t think that is photoshopped, that usually happens when you use big telephoto lenses. The lens compress the background a lot maybe they use a 300mm or 600mm and you get that effect
Ah the shot at pantheon isn't faked but the guy filming is quite far from emily and zoomed way in to make the background appear much closer
oh ok ok I see, I don't know much about what you can do with cameras. but it's SUCH a HUGE difference, it's crazy haha
@@Street_French you can notice the way the street lights lined up and looked almost side by side even though they are very far apart. With a long zoom and a high f stop, you can make things appear to be very close but still in focus. You should experiment with it perhaps one day with your camera, you can create some beautiful compositions
@@alcurtis93 ah cool :) yeah I have a compact point and shoot for now but later yeah for sure ^^
My grandma was a french lit teacher, and she learned from non-native speakers, so she spoke like a person reading it.
I think everyone should relax about this show. Nobody said it is an accurate depiction of anything. They are selling dreams and escapism and making the Eiffel Tower bigger than in real life, as one example, just helps with that and hurts nobody
you can get all kind of weird effects with special lenses (long focal) so it's entirely possible the first frame is real. There's a famous photo like that where you see several monuments in Paris appearing closer to each other than they are.
15:34 actually it’s not fake the eiffel tower
it’s a trick
the put the camera very far from the subject so when they zoom, the background gets a lot bigger than the normal subject
for the Eiffel tower too close.... Did you think about the zoom used to record the movie ? Didn't you ever realize that the moon is much bigger in movies than in real life ? the zoom lenses change more fare objects than close.
I am so sad that I didn't find your channel before going to Paris. Emily show was out the day before my trip and I regretted that I've watched it. It ruined everything, I was afraid to speak with people or eat in french restaurants because I was afraid that I am not speaking. And after few videos on your channel I kind of want to give Paris one more chance. Thank you guys
aww .. that breaks my heart to hear that this type of show can have such a bad influence 😭😭😭
glad we were able to show you how French people actually can be though :))
Not me suddenly relearning french by watching these videos
never people put you down but you are a man.. it is very different being a woman, women suffer this very often...
Maybe the boss said trop because he's trying to be hip? Because of the Instagram promotion thing?
I definitely think Americans have this mindset that they are the best and other countries should conform to them which is something, as an American, I just don’t get. On the bright side I think most Americans willing to take the time and effort to travel to say Paris are not like this and really want to know the culture and not be the typical American that Emily is in this show.
