Movie Reviews of Amelie
Movie Review: Smiling throughout this movie...
Summary: 5 Stars
Many have called this one of the top 10 greatest movies of all time. Well, I was skeptical but have become a convert. Amazing cinematography; fabulous casting and characters; a feel-good-warm-your-heart movie; a romance; a comedy - all wrapped into one foreign sub-titled film running two hours but at a hectic / mesmerizing pace.
Amelie, who works as a waitress, takes pleasure in the small things in life (smooth stones, skipping rocks on water, kindness). She manages to orchestrate several feel good solutions for the lives of her friends and family. And, then she falls in love but can't bring her introverted self to let him know how she feels. As they say, one good turn deserves another and one of her friends helps her cross the chasm. A must-see movie.
Summary of Amelie
Perhaps the most charming movie of all time, Am?lie is certainly one of the top 10. The title character (the bashful and impish Audrey Tautou) is a single waitress who decides to help other lonely people fix their lives. Her widowed father yearns to travel but won't, so to inspire the old man she sends his garden gnome on a tour of the world; with whispered gossip, she brings together two cranky regulars at her caf?; she reverses the doorknobs and reprograms the speed dial of a grocer who's mean to his assistant. Gradually she realizes her own life needs fixing, and a chance meeting leads to her most elaborate stratagem of all. This is a deeply wonderful movie, an illuminating mix of magic and pragmatism. Fans of the director's previous films (Delicatessen, The City of Lost Children) will not be disappointed; newcomers will be delighted. --Bret FetzerNominated for five Academy Awards including Best Original Screenplay, this magical comedy earned overwhelming acclaim nationwide! A painfully shy waitress working at a tiny Paris cafe, Am?lie makes a surprising discovery and sees her life drastically changed for the better! From then on, Am?lie dedicates herself to helping others find happiness ... in the most delightfully unexpected way! But will she have the courage to do for herself what she has done for others?
