this one and watched it at least three times movie of. Since 2001, this big-eyed woman who conquered Europe and the United States has appeared in the so-called "petty bourgeoisie" magazines. The flood of comments made me feel a sense of exclusion. Looking at the faint green color on the poster, and the little girl who looks different enough, I intuitively thought that this was a horror movie that made me resist, so I missed seeing each other. Until one night when I was about to fall asleep, my friend called me and told me that cctv-6 was playing his favorite movie as if he had taken stimulants! Angelic friend introduced me to Angelic Emily.
Emily is a very ordinary French girl. She works as a waitress in a coffee shop. She is shy and likes to indulge in fantasy. She also likes to swim and put her hands in her pockets. The little fun comes from playing with her own. Fingers, or put strawberries on your fingers and suck one by one. On the day Princess Diana was in a car accident, she stumbled upon something left by a former tenant in the bathroom of her home. It was a little boy's precious tin box containing glass marbles, pictures and other gadgets. Emily thus found a meaning in her life - starting from returning the box, bringing beauty to mankind. She found the boy who was now her grandfather and returned the box to him. She hid in the dark and smiled. She has also helped many other people - the blind man crossing the street, the clerk who was bullied by his employer, the old painter who couldn't go out for many years due to illness, the landlady who missed her dead husband and couldn't extricate herself, the middle-aged man and woman who were in love with each other in the coffee shop ,etc. In the end, Emily also gained her own love.
French films often have the feeling of taking our breath away. Not that it's perfect, but because it's chic and unique. "Amelie" is also the taste of French films we are familiar with: a little elegance, a little romance, a little lyricism, and even a little dull, perhaps it is a little more playful. In the film, Emily's black eyes flashed to rescue others with whimsical and devious tricks, and she never directly offered a helping hand: the amazing story of the dwarf going abroad, the fun to play with the hateful boss, the romantic and mysterious Encounter in a haunted house. These bizarrely humorous plots made me wonder if the movie was a thriller the first time I saw it.
When I saw this movie again, it was in the cinema, and it was also by chance. The visual impact of the big screen and the excellent sound effects made me more fond of it. The oil painting-like photographic lenses are colorful, and the unrestrained art design makes me feel as if I have entered Alice's Wonderland. It is by no means a light and shallow meticulous brushwork, but a warm color like Van Gogh's sunflowers, which is infinitely flamboyant. The overall feel of the film's soundtrack is very simple, if there is nothing. The French accordion with strong style, the simple piano, and the violin to match the two will only appear in time when the plot develops to a certain feeling, but it will not stay for a long time, hidden behind the plot. But this neat and emotional melody can not be ignored, it is evocative, the romance of the accordion is easy with passion for life and feelings, and the piano is calm and peaceful despite the slight sadness. Like the use of songs in the music album of Jimmy's comics, the melody itself can't resist being savoured after being taken out alone.
However, no matter how amazing the picture or music is, the one who best reflects the style of the film is Audrey Tautou, the actress who plays the heroine. Her appearance can be described as magical, with a strong cartoon color. She is petite and slender, with thick black hair and surprisingly large black eyes, and her upper lip is a bit thicker than her lower lip, which keeps her facial expression in a pursed state all the time. She is not very beautiful, but she is very charming, the kind of reserved and restrained charm with an oriental flavor. Such a look once made me dread, but her charm permeates every expression and every movement, so that you can't tell whether she's acting exceptionally well or whether she's just a true actress who just happened to choose the right role. She doesn't have a hint of acting, but is fully integrated into the character, as Audrey Hepburn did in "Roman Holiday."
This is a simple story, a simple girl in the story, her happiness is very simple, and the happiness she brings to others is also very simple. Let such a director tell it and let such an actor perform it, the whole movie is like the light of sunlight flickering and jumping among the leaves. Amelie I don't know why it's translated that way, but I love the name. Watching this beautiful movie, it was as if an angel really flew by the window.
