Paris, Texas versus Paris, France

Filed under Fun Stuff, Thoughts |

I had heard about the Wim Wenders movie “Paris, Texas” but never attempted to see it. It came out in a time when I had been very busy moving my life around and there never was time enough to sit down for two hours and spend them on a movie. It took me many years for it to sink in that the title actually referred to a town of Paris in Texas. Never nurtured the idea that there was any other than THE Paris, the capital of the country right over there.

But now that I have seen these two pictures…

Paris, Texas

Paris, Texas, and …

Paris, France

… maybe I should see the movie.

Joking! - Obviously the movie has nothing to do with the subjects of these images (just a cheap hook), but it’s about Travis, an amnesiac who has been lost for four years and is taken in by his brother. He later tries to put his life back together and understand what happened between him, his wife Jane (Nastassja Kinski), and his son Hunter - I mean, it’s a Wim Wenders film!
