This film is about the amazing life of
unsociable but kind young girl named
Amélie Poulain.
The movie starts by introducing the
characters. Jean-Pierre Jeunet makes this introduction very
unique by explaining a character based on their weird habits, likes and
dislikes. With a funny comment/dialog from the narrator, it captures the
audience interest from the start.
The interesting part is when Amélie Poulain felt amazing
feelings when she helped a man to retrieve back his toys that he kept for 40
years. Amused by that feeling, Amélie
Poulain kept helping people until he found a man of her
dream, Nino Quincampoix (played by Mathieu
Kassovitz) who also have a weird hobby which is collecting discarded
photo.
The glass man (played by Serge Merlin)
helps Amélie Poulain by
giving her advises so that Amélie
Poulain not only helping other people but to help
herself.And after setting a couple of games which Amélie Poulain loves to do,
she finally brace up herself to meet the guy thus started their relationship.
Applause to Audrey Tautou, who manage to carry the character of
innocent, kind, and socially awkward girl very effectively.
All in all, this movie is a success, 5 out
of 5 stars. No one can beat French guy when it comes to arts value.
The comedy in this film is simple and easy
to understand yet still acceptable to be laugh. Most of the comedy didn’t
involve dialog but involve audience comprehension and actor’s face reaction and
body language.
The way Jean-Pierre Jeunet shot this film
by zooming every single thing he saw and spectacular lighting in every scene
makes a cool cinematography. He also inserts some cartoon elements to show
emotion and fantasies more effectively.
Even the sound effect and soundtrack in
this film had its own artistic value which you cannot find in Malaysian films.
No wonder this movie was nominated and won many awards.
