I wanted to watch this movie after seeing a review of it on TV, (I was
fascinated by Amelie's eyes in the poster promoting the film). I have always
liked the nostalgic, deep intelligent themes surrounding french films, and this
was no different.
We are introduced to the young introvert Amelie as a child whose father blames
her for the passing of her mother, as a result she keeps herself to herself, and
day dreams from her distance father, and absent mother.
We fast forward to the adult Amelie who is cordial but alone, and makes friends
with other misfits in society, one a charming elderly loner, who although grumpy
Amelie realises his grumpiness is only a mask to hide his soft centre, just like
her with her day dreams.
Her love interest is equalling a dreamy fellow who collects discarded pictures
at the photo booth in the local station. We get to see both sides of Amelie
from her friendliness with an elderly loner who gives her the necessary
prompting to follow her heart's desires, to dishing out vengeance on the local
shop keeper who is a little too harsh with one of his employees.
This is a classic romantic movie, and I can see why many people liked this
movie, it pulls the nostalgic strings in all of us, from the innocent childish
daydreams, to the romantic games Amelie (Audrey Tatou) plays with her love
interest, trying to overcome her shyness before it all passes her, it is a sweet
lovely movie, with an addictive theme song, that is synonymous with many French
films of this genre.
