Tap the caramel on the surface with a spoon...

Amelie (2001) - Thanks for the recommendation!

Maybe this is the most magical movie I've ever seen. The protagonist of the story is Amelie, a 22-year-old Parisian coffee shop waitress who is lonely and shy since childhood. By chance, she found a small tin box in the space of the bathroom wall of the apartment, which contained a boy's collection of toys. On a whim, she inquired about the owner of the box, and returned them to its owner without making a sound, and witnessed the surprise intersection of the middle-aged man with his face full of vicissitudes of life when he lost and recovered the "treasure" buried in his childhood. In the bar, the owner of the box sighed that 40 years later, all the childhood memories of a little boy are concentrated in this rusty iron box. He vowed to change his life and find the Daughter who is no longer in touch...

Emily takes inspiration from this. Start helping friends and neighbors who are lonely and lonely around you, although their behavior is often eccentric. There are even unrelated passersby. She also met her sweetheart...

This is also a very beautiful film, the colors and pictures are full of magic and fantasy! The editing and narration of the film are very novel (can't understand French, but English subtitles), In addition, the heroine (Audrey Tautou) has a pair of big eyes that can talk, and has a playful and wild look. Speaking of French Kiss, the first kiss after they met when Emily hesitated to open the door for her sweetheart! So careful, so slow, so gentle, so delicate, so methodical, so ecstatic! Unlike Hollywood movies, the kiss is so eager! :)

And the movie was filmed in the area of ​​Montmartre, and some familiar street scenes made me feel very kind! On the Internet I also found the coffee shop where Emily works - Caf des Deux Moulins (Caf des Deux Moulins). Unfortunately, I haven't seen this movie before going to Paris. It is said that there is always a search Emily's tourists from all over the world, they will chat, take pictures, sit down and order a baked pudding, learn how Emily taps the caramel on the surface with a spoon...

When I woke up this morning, I felt a little dull, and I felt that everything was just that. Although it wasn't to the point of despair, I was really unhappy, but I couldn't find any special reason. Load up a big bowl of cherries and start watching the movie! Two hours later, when I finished watching this movie and ate more than a pound of cherries :), my mood was very peaceful, even a little excited. When I opened my eyes and looked out the window, it seemed that the mediocre and casual life suddenly added some romance and poetry...

Speaking of coffee shops in Paris, I used to be in the famous La Palette on the Left Bank with a history of more than 100 years. Color Palette Coffee Shop) spent some time and took a lot of photos.

La Palette Café: Located at 43 Rue de Seine, it has been in business since 1903. It used to be a place where teachers and students from the neighboring High School of Fine Arts spent their time. Now it's a place for businessmen and artists from nearby galleries, and of course tourists like me with Rick's guide book. Stand in front of the store and glance at the palette, the old mottled bar grabs your attention. Time seems to freeze here...except for the modern Espresso coffee machine, nothing has changed . Order a cup of Espresso, put it on the 100-year-old colorful table, and admire the color palettes that the painters used to get their coffee money before they became famous. It is also another way to taste the taste of Paris.... ..

Amélie quotes

  • Josef Stalin dubbed in propaganda film excerpt: If Amélie chooses to live in a dream-world and remain an introverted young woman, she has every right to mess up her life!

  • Narrator: Nino is late. Amelie can only see two explanations. 1 - he didn't get the photo. 2 - before he could assemble it, a gang of bank robbers took him hostage. The cops gave chase. They got away... but he caused a crash. When he came to, he'd lost his memory. An ex-con picked him up, mistook him for a fugitive, and shipped him to Istanbul. There he met some Afghan raiders who too him to steal some Russian warheads. But their truck hit a mine in Tajikistan. He survived, took to the hills, and became a Mujaheddin. Amelie refuses to get upset for a guy who'll eat borscht all his life in a hat like a tea cozy.
