A New York Story follows the lives of two lovers who are in different divisions of New York and as they move between summer and winter, a romance unfolds in front of us. The city class differences are where they come into play and the story completely hinges from the perspective of teenage girls. But as the saying goes, teenage girls are romantics and I don’t aim to polemically cut down on teenage fantasies – a decade ago such imagery would have served its purpose quite well. It is truly the imagery that serves as the best means to portray the characters as they tend to span across all classes and such fabulous imagery serves the absolute purpose of reaching the ears of listeners. 2024 Director: Fiona Robert Screenwriter: Fiona Robert, Sofia Robert Actors: Fiona Robert, Paul Karmiryan There is an almost tiring cliche that states – ‘New York is the fifth character’ .. have you ever wondered why New York is the fifth character? Apart from the sheer overwhelming beauty of New York, most romance dramas contain no relevance to the drama apart from the hint drop that New York is the fifth character… There’s a shift in perspective while watching A New York Story because the central actor in the New York city is not just one character, its composed of many characters and, It is an intricate place that cannot simply be explained. The Robert sisters have managed to accurately remove the romantic goggles the audience wore to witness the city and instead have been able to view NY as a reality-disconnected city.
To me, New York has changed quite a bit because it now seems to have transformed into a city that is largely focused on the wealthy affluent class, forgetting about what the artists require. This is precisely what I find fascinating about A New York Story, that aspect of New York City that only a few people have.
Indeed, the first character through which we get to see this universe is Will Caffrey however It comes as no surprise or better yet ‘Wont Caffrey’ since there is no way the cast is not pivitol while one starts a movie with its In a modern day context, those entitled upper class aristocrats do often say the most ignorant things but learning to put two syllables together to sound intelligent is a power in and of itself. On the other hand, Will Cafrey is an example of exactly this. After Will however Annabel Fiona Robert and their friends acted as sources of amusement for Theo Paul Karmiryan who was a tabloid photographer but rather an artist in this case. These two have a conversation about models after all our character is engaged in which Theo encourages, “Yes you had to be a New Yorker to be one of them,” so yes, you had to be a New Yorker to be one of them, as it was. Will takes him around and shows him how to wrap himself in dreams by putting up luxury apartment windows next to the wealthy.
Although Theo makes an effort to be respectful, he cannot shake the feeling of being an outsider in a world where his affluent friends see him as a pariah.
Annabel and Will, alongside their friends, take a break from their activities daily. Once they recuperate, the family men head to a dreary golf club where idle prattling about twice as much golfing occurs. Self-eating seems to have become the new normal, as the women only sate their social craving for a quick lunch without eating. This pattern repeats at dusk, as the friends host one or the other in a circle, glass in hand, reclining on couches and falsely assuring each other that everything is in order, life is beautiful, and so on. Most people might find such unsteadiness to be perplexing, as the herding of the most frequently anticipated monotony would rapidly wear one out, but these are definitely not most people. All their lives, they never had to do a thing; the bulk of the well-to-do families are like Vanderbilts because for this set this generation is head of the family.
Except for Annabel, whose father was a manual laborer and the first generation family to join the industry only to later dominate Broadway as a Tony award-winning actor.
She is one short of being a first-generation American and has quite the concept of nationality and losing, almost having witnessed the transformation of the Big Apple into an artistic disc. And yes, she harbors visions of acting! However, let us assume you were born into a family worth several billion and belong to some dynasty, the most you will do is to try to find a relative or a friend who can get you a role in their soapy drama.
I won’t mention the starting part of this film because it is a twist that easily presents all the ‘friends’ who are ugly and the opposite of what a beauty ought to be, along with a man whom one scarcely has an idea about, yet, this man is able to reach Annabel and soothe her.
This version of A New York Story is thus directed more towards love, but the seasoned intellectuals with a bit more impassivity watch the action and engage alike with the book. The plot starts out rather slowly and some of the philosophers featured there were somewhat out of character, but I was however somewhat absorbed with what was going on around Annabel. She takes advantage of all the perks that come with being part of the elite underground of rich Americans, but at what cost?
The dots connected the moment one of the overwhelmingly graceful transitions appeared when Annabel stepped out of the ostentatiously decorated room and bumped into Theo, I suppose for a change. Annabel and Theo are very much into each other so much so that they are not real, in that due to the severe conditions, they had to spend a considerable amount of time together. It’s a very nice romantic drama but in the form of a carnival.
When it comes to currency forms, money does not maintain any connection, other than the concerns people carry regarding it.
