A Rainy Day in New York #1

In July 2020, I watched A Rainy Day in New York for the first time at Movix Kameari. The movie was written and directed by Woody Allen. It was released in 2020 in Japan but it has not been opened in the United States due to some reasons. 

The story describes Gatsby and Ashleigh whose parents are all wealthy. The young couple consist of a handsome guy and a pretty girl who met in a local university and has fallen in love with each other. One day, Ashleigh has the opportunity to go to New York as an interviewer for the newspaper of their university, so Gatsby, a former New Yorker, plans to hang out with her in his town, however, some unexpected events occurs to each of them in the Big Apple. The story goes that way. 

Although the romance between the couple seemed ordinary until toward the end, yet I felt comfortable and never bored thanks to all the characters' smart conversations in the script written by Allen. Then the story became intriguing when Gatsby's mother confessed her secret to her son. I am really fond of the film and I could watch it many times. 

Elle Fanning was really adorable. She gave a good performance as Ashleigh, a beautiful college girl with a good character, as well as a difficult girl in the movie Teen Spirit. Fanning as Ashleigh was really charming especially when she was drunk. I was kind of stunned when I watched the middle-aged guys fall in love with her one after another, though I felt that they could not help it because she was really beautiful and attractive. 

Timothee Chalamet as Gatsby was so handsome that he seemed to match Fanning. He also gave a good performance as Laurie in Little Women. I, however, stared with envy at the French American actor whose slender body can go with any clothes, at the same time, I lamented my ugly appearance. Then I determined to drop my extra weight so that I would have an average weight. I do not remember how many times I did to, though.
