Le Fabuleux Destin d' Amélie Poulain
I started watching this movie during the time I was searching for some music videos of the song La Noyee at YouTube. Upon searching for this song, I suddenly bumped into a video about Amelie. I was curious about the movie, I haven’t heard of this movie before, aside that it was in fact a French movie.
I begin to search the internet for understanding what the movie is all about. Who are the cast and director? What is its trailer? Is it beautiful? Upon searching for critics, both destructive and constructive, I decided to watch it. I go back to YouTube and started surfing for the said movie.
Clip after clip, I watched them. At first, it was a bit boring for it's full of introduction regarding the characters and there are some grossy scenes (for people who think it is really gross, but, hey, movie is art!). But then, when you tried to understand it it's more than that. Amelie is a different kind of girl, having problems with her personality and/or herself. She tried to change the people around her, since they themselves have problems of their own.
When I was watching it, I have this feeling of excitement, like the part where she is playing cat and mouse games witht he man she loves. Also, there some parts that is funny, such as how her mother died and how she take revenge at her neighbor. There is some sadness in it, too, like the part where the man she loves goes with another woman.
The way I see it, this movie is not a plain Comedy-Love Story, but also you learn other things on the movie itself or behind it (something that is not obvious). Amelie is great movie for me, for it teaches me something about matchmaking, friends or even falling in-love.
If you want to know what I really am saying here. Whydon't you try watching it? See it for yourself. Let yourself be the judge. If you don't like it maybe you didn't understand it at all, or you hated it because you love it...:)
