With films' quirky tone and striking visual style, Amelie
is one of a movie that i felt it won critical accolades across viewer/audience
with its creative force behind it.
Audrey Tautou (Amelie), is waitress in a Paris
cafe who lives alone and sees as her mission the rescue of those who are
disappointed by life: At work, she plays matchmaker; she uncovers beneath her
apartment's floorboards a box of knickknacks hidden away by a boy who lived
there 40 years ago, and vows to find him and return the box.
The subtext of all event happened is that patholcically shy
Amelie need to be helping herself instead of others.She found somethings that
act as an object of affections in Nino who works in a sex shop and he’s just
madly eccentric as she is.The loss of an album of discarded strips of film from
photo portrait booths which Amelie recovers,that leads to a series of peekaboo
near-encounters in which the moonstruck almost but never quiet screws up the
courage to introduce herself to him.
One of its intriguing aspects of the film aside from its
visual technic is the way or method in which Amelie chooses to help
others.Rather than going for a straightforward manner,she opted to devises
stratagems,that in term of far more complexities.Her father has a hidden desire
to travel,in which Amelie kidnaps his garden gnome and has it photograph in
front of various geographical landmarks around the world to spark his interest
to the surface.
To keep the movie visually dynamic & interesting,Amelie
uses odd camera angles & tricks due to infact that its easy for audience to
become bored by the repeated use of similar shots.In the end,Amelie is does not
achieve a state of happily ever after rapture in this film but brought a new
eccentric light hearted drama in the reel’s world.
