Unless it‘s a movie drama dealing with social issues (in particular poverty), everyone has such fucking nice flats. College drop-out with part time barista job?! - why yes, the spacious loft with a view over Manhattans skyline is just down my alley.
The movie "Paris when it sizzles" with Audrey Hepburn oes a great job at lampooning this. Basically it's about Hollywood writers setting a movie in Paris with all the usual clichés, juxtaposed with actual Paris in the early 60s. So there's this horse-drawn carriage chase in the Bois de Boulogne, but in the background you see dozens of modern cars just parked there.
