I Have Watch This Countless Times

Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain





This movie is directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet and starred by Audrey Tautou.

Well basically, this movie is about a girl named Amelie who as a child is mistaken by her father, a doctor that she has heart defects. She hardly has real life contacts with other people because of this concern. Amelie resorts to her own fantastical world and dreams of love and beauty.

As she becomes a young woman and moves to the central part of Paris as a waitress, she found a lost treasure that had belonged to the former occupant of her apartment. She decides to return it to him andseeing his reaction and his new found perspective - she decides to devote her life to the people around her. Her father who is obsessed with his garden-gnome, a failed writer, a hypochondriac, a man who stalks his ex girlfriends, the "ghost", a suppressed young soul, the love of her life and a man whose bones are as brittle as glass.

But after consuming herself with these escapades - she finds out that she is disregarding her own life and damaging her quest for love. She then discovers she must become more aggressive and take a hold of her life and capture the beauty of love she has always dreamed of.

This movie will not be appealing to you if you hate movies with alot of conversation. But I DARE you to watch it. You really would not know what to expect. It is the most interesting, beautiful and brilliant movie I have watched so far and it has been years since I first watched it.
