Feels like a dream you do not want to wake up from. You are reminded of life's little moments that you want to treasure forever and afterwards you can't help but want to be kinder to people. |

There are scenes in this movie that fill me with such sanguine happiness, they are just so beautiful, fanciful and radiant. But thrown into the innocence, in typical French fashion, is incongruously strong sexuality. This can yank you out of the fairy tale. Still, this movie makes me too want to cultivate an enjoyment in the little things and become a habitual do-gooder. |

"Amelie" by Yojimbo |
|
Amelie is a young woman who grew up with only her emotionally challenged parents for company, and now lives in a world which is a combination of fantasy and vicarious experience as she touches the lives of those around her. Amelie is also a the kind of film that reminds you why you fell in love with cinema in the first place; and not just because Audrey Tautou is so adorable I could eat her up with a dessert spoon. Well, not entirely anyway. Some may be shocked to hear that I'm not exactly a fan of romances, but this is bittersweet, funny and touching in a way all romance aspires to but very few achieve; it's one of those films that's life affirming in a way that makes you feel like your life is richer for having seen it. Compared to this, the likes of Eternal Sunshine and its ilk are lik... |

Amelie review |
|
Amélie Poulain (Audrey Tautou) has one of the greatest imaginations with a sense of purpose in life and manages to get a hidden treasure from her place. She seeks help from her talented neighbor Raymond Dufayel (Serge Merlin) who paints and uses a video camera. Nino collects unwanted photos from a photo booth and manages to stay in a porno video store. She tries to be a mystery to Nino. A mystery man appears in his album, which is actually a repairman that Amelie discovered. The moment Nino and Amelie meet is precious and spectacular. Nino accidentally goes out with Gina. I noticed she was always wearing red, first time Nino contacts her she was wearing green. The picture is filled with brilliant quotes: Amelie – “It's better to help people than garden gnomes.” Raymond – “So, my ... |

Obssesively sweet. |

(Maybe SPOILERS) Amelie has a wonderful cinematography, script, acting and score. Is not of course the best french movie ever. But it's indeed one of the best. Amelie is that little ray light that appears from time time in the earth to makes things happend and makes the difference. And the story is perfectly constructed. You see this (not yet)special girl that is unadapted socially, because of his parents and her mother's death. But, she realizes that she can achieve her personal realization for making good. She starts to see that everyone is happy, but not her, and starts to do something about it. The details, the things that we are use to do for feel safe... everything is done great. I don't guarantee you will like it, but at least see it. |
