电影里的西雅图：中国人眼中的美国浪漫之都

This image may have been altered recently by the screen adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey, which is largely set in the Seattle area and includes frequent aerial shots and the less-than-tasteful flaunting of wealth and kinky sex.

最近上映的小说改编影片《五十度灰》可能改变了人们对西雅图的认识。这部影片取景地大部分在西雅图，包含很多航拍、低俗的炫富和性虐的元素。

The narrative setup in Sleepless is almost Chinese to the core: Sam and Annie, played by Meg Ryan, fall in love before actually meeting each other in the flesh. Imagine all those Chinese couples in arranged marriages who were denied the right to face-to-face encounters before their wedding night. This story could have been their silver lining and inspiration.

《西雅图夜未眠》叙事设定很中式：山姆和安妮(梅格•瑞恩饰)在素未谋面的情况下就相爱了。试想那些接受包办婚姻的中国夫妇，在新婚之夜前都没有见面的权利。这部影片有可能给他们带来了一线希望和鼓舞。

By contrast, the Chinese movie Finding Mr. Right- the title in Mandarin translates as Beijing Meets Seattle - is very Hollywood in its dramatic arc. The 2013 sleeper hit employs the opposites-attract strategy: Boy meets girl and nothing works out, but we know they'll end up together because we've been conditioned by the genre.
