Amelie

At least you'll never be a vegetable, even artichokes have hearts.

Interesting.

Quite interesting.

I can't say I have ever had a film experience like the one when I had when I watched Amelie. I felt like I was lost but knew exactly what was going on at the same time.

Basically at the beginning we had a little girl who was home schooled so didn't have any friends. Because of this she had to rely on her imagination and became very independent. As for the rest of the movie she is in her 20's or so and one single event changed her life. Princess Di got in a car accident and died. From that moment she saw that on TV it seemed that her goal in life was to create happiness for people in a kind of mysterious way.

So I have been sitting here for 5 minutes now trying to think of the program objective for this film and I finally think I have something. I'm going to have to say that it is you dont always have to do big things to make change or bring happiness. Sometimes all you need is a few little things to change a persons perspective on life.

As far as the cinematography goes I think they did a great job. For important things they always had bright colors. And when they would go into "x-ray" mode to show us something that we wouldnt have known without them highlighting it for us. For example, when Amelie sees Nino and they show her heart, or when she copies a key for the vendors apartment. Also they always emphasized little sounds that we probably here everyday but dont really take a notice to.

Overall I actually enjoyed this movie, cant believe I just said that because I had myself convinced that this movie would be a waste of my time. It shows us that even little things can affect our lives and an imagination is an important thing to have. It is a very clever, witty, mysterious movie and I'm glad I experienced it
