A Lonely but Beautiful Heart
Some of my friends criticized this movie for being too unrealistic and fanciful, and they said that everyone in the movie seems to be a little bit odd. Nevertheless, I think this is an essential part of the movie. The reason is self-evident.
First, the girl herself is very lonely, imaginative. Second, her life experience is very different from many others. Last but not the least, don’t you think privately to yourself that everyone of us has some odd behaviors?
She just happens to fall in love with a boy the day when she decides to embark on a short journal to help a person she doesn’t know at all. Jean-Pierre Jeunet is very talented, and he brings us along the “journal” with Amelie. Has the movie been directed by someone else, I don’t think he/she has the ability to control the plot so well.
Audrey Tautou is a very excellent actress, and she does very well in portraying Amelie. She successfully brings me into a virtual world and lets me fall in love with this sweet girl. Besides, the cast of the movie as a whole acts very vividly. They contribute a lot to the success of the movie as well. Every actor in the movie tries their best to make the most out of their role, and they are just as alive as Amelie herself.
This movie is perfect, never before have I thought a movie can be perfect. I see it many times. This movie is quite different from other big budget Hollywood productions. It is cozy, succinct. The girl Amelie goes straight into the bottom of my heart and stays there, never fading away afterwards. I wish I could be her and have her courage to do all the things I dare not to do…
