Love story


How can you talk about the French without talking about love and sex? As might be expected, we often see French people in romantic films (Green Card, Henry & June, French Kiss), or French culture present in love scenes with the traditional “French Kiss”.
The French seem less shy and prudish. The French talk about sex and do it easier than American characters do. French characters are portrayed as lovers, and men more feminine, with scarves, crossing their legs etc...
It’s hard to find a french character in an american movie who is not a lover or a cook.
For example, GreenCard is a love story between a Frenchman living in New-York and an American woman. Henry & June is about several love stories and adultery. Vianne, an American in Le Chocolat, falls in love with Le Roux, French character.
Furthermore, if people need to go in France, it will be in Paris, near the seine.
