I honestly don't know anyone that didn't like the film. A
blind purchase is indeed recommended. Get it, right now :)
(and if you don't end up smiling like a loon at the end of
the film you are clearly dead inside emotionally)

I used to like it, but then I also liked absolutely dreadful
stuff like Requiem for a Dream or something.

I can't stand the acting anymore in this one, it's all so
fucking overblown, and it makes me want to hit Audrey Tautou
with a shovel.

the director is a prime example of someone who exercises
style over substance.

because really, theres nothing special about the story of
amelie. not one fucking thing. its how he presents the story
that is interesting. i liked amelie but its still just that
to me.

the same thing with city of the lost children. amazing
visually, but the story, while more interesting than amelie,
is minorly present at best.

this is really obvious with some of his really early films.
which dont even have a basic story--they are cold and
sterile.

one of my favorites. jean-pierre jeunet is brilliant. great
imagery, entertaining storyline, great cinematography, and
Tautau is charming. i highly recommend it. also, you should
see Delicatessen.

I like the part where Robocop begins reliving his death
scene, makes you realise that Robocop is not all a machine,
but rather Murphy trapped deep inside, and then he gets up
and walks off, absolutely brillant.

i don't know if it was just because of my mood when i
watched it, but it was heavily irritating.

actually - when the movie ended i hated amelie.

she kind of helped people - but not in a way you actually
should help them - she just lied the whole time over.
and the whole thing with that man who selled vegetables -
okay he was rude - but nobody should make things like she
did.

but i have to admit that i probably missunderstood the
intentions of this movie being just some romantic fairy tale
meant to cheer people up.

I dont see how the film makes a comment about french
people.

I liked it a lot, and I kind of hate the character Amelie
too. The whole thing is overly cute in that specifically
french cutesy way, her stupid little smirk haunts me
sometimes. But I still really enjoy watching it, it
progresses in a very smooth way, simple humour, nice ideas.
Its fun.


 

offline QRDL from Poland on 2006-03-05 17:29 [#01853441]
Points: 2838 Status: Lurker



Yes, irritating at moments, especially when you know Jeunets
other films and know that he excerises same tricks all over
again. However, in Amelie he bocomes very accessible and I
too shed a tear during the scene in the phone-box.

Requiem is fucking pretentious and populist, but still works
on some levels and there's no way I'll admit that it's
garbage. I may not want to see it ever again, but it's still
a pretty good movie. That tune played by Kronos is
unforgivable crap though.

If you don't agree with me, you may be going through your
rebelious phase.

Requiem for a Dream is excellent though - so is
Delicatessen. :)

That's exactly what I think : Amelie is just good when you
are 14 and I didn't even watch the whole Requiem for a dream
cause it was so fucking boring and stupid.

Yeah !! You'd better watch Twin Peaks.

bogala : most films that YOU watch maybe...

Amelie is about being an individual and appreciating the
little things in life. It's a cute movie and a sweet
message. It's not mind blowing, but neither was lost in
translation which was nice, but terribly over rated. Mostly
due to nepatisim, IMHO. I love films amd I did take
something away from Amelie. Not including the hard on.

honestly, how could you have overlooked the story in "city
of lost children"? it has an elaborate, expansive story
that works on numerous levels. it absolutely astonishes me
that you could have such a strong opinion after having
overlooked so much.

but then again, i though "amelie" was a memorably sweet and
entertaining movie about how people deny or create happiness
for themselves.
