Reviews

audrablum This week I chose to watch the comedy, romance Amelie (2001). The logline reads "Amélie is an innocent and naive girl in Paris with her own sense of justice. She decides to help those around her and, along the way, discovers love." There was a little more gratuitous nudity and sex scenes in the film than I cared for. I feel like most of these could be left out without missing anything in the movie. In spite of this, the movie was an exciting visual tale of a playful, yet extremely philosophical young woman named Amelie. Amelie spends a lot of time trying to help those around her and then scientifically trying to figure out how it all works together. In the process, she discovers something she can't figure-she can only feel. She finds love. Much of the writer seemed to make commentary about the world and how everything doesn't always amount to a black and white explanation, but instead there are so many grey areas that should be embraced for what they are and lived without being figured out. Much of the story of Amelie is about making human connection and that in the end love trumps all. The dialogue is all French with subtitles, so be prepared to read, but the story and writing are both good so it's not taxing. The acting was good, especially on Audrey Tautou's part. She really made this movie along with the artistic components. The art direction, editing, and directing are the trifecta that made this story twice as interesting. The cinematography and lighting were handled by Bruno Delbonnel who also worked on things like Across the Universe, Big Eyes, and Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Overall, the story was interesting, the visuals were amazing, and I would recommend this movie to a friend.

matthewjoseph-54651 Amelie is a great French movie combining the playful and eccentric nature so often deployed by period films when they're played out for fun. Audrey tatou is perfect for the titular character and the French capital has rarely looked as lovely. This film causes a stir when it was released in 2001 and you should have a look to see why. The dark comedic element, eccentric nature of the scenes and some great acting by Tatou should encourage you to do so.

amandajdeming Amélie is such a gorgeous film. Its powerful, innocent, and romantic. The music in this film is phenomenal. I cant watch too many movies more than once but this one is on my list of goodies.

lfreis I've tried to watch this movie today for like the 7th time and it just doesn't do much for me. I always watch like 40 minutes of it and it just doesn't get any exciting. I just can't overcome the boredom it causes me. I actually fell asleep a couple of times. It is just simply dull. And also the yellow color throughout the movie gives me a headache.I always try to see why everyone loves it, but I just can't seem to finish the movie, due to extreme boredom. Of course this is my personal opinion. Well, at least I've tried.
