Well, what can I say more about this movie!!!... This is the fifth time I have watched it & for god's sake, I never ever got bored fr a single bit even this time. This is the magic of this film. It has become a habit of mine whenever you feel like low, depressed or anything for any cause..just watch this gem flick. I guarantee your full mood swing!!
1st of all, its detailing...yes, that makes the wonder. when first watched, one usually tends to its story & all..but at the 2nd,3rd viewing you can watch closely to the other detail. here, every detail of it makes this film very special.. being introvert, Amelie's each habit, her feeling for small tiny thing, & obviously her each strategy for all kind of her work is shown by flawless detailing. not only that, each person of the hotel where Amelie works, her father, her love interest(the awkward man & his photo capturing) even the glass man's work has been given same importance.
Also unusual starting & ending dialogue makes this film that desired effect. & there comes the visualization of director Jean-Pierre Jeunet for making this film such a beautiful experience....hands down. Remember the scene where Amelie starts to apprehend the reason why her man dint come at right time?? The 2nd reason where her imagination of incident travels throughout the whole world including afghan, Tajikistan etc & ultimately becoming a mujaheddin...ohh what kind of imagination one needs to think like that??
2nd, the cinematography..I don't have to give any proof... academy authority gave that.(though it dint win!..well that's luck).... we get to see the whole world & Paris through the eyes & fantasy of Amelie...this film brings the life to the world of Amelie through the colors, excellent camera-work & some appropriate special effect.
3rd, the acting, no doubt Audrey Totou has been greatly applauded fr her acting in this film..... as a sweet innocent, childish girl, i cant imagine anyone but her can do justice to this role... I have no problem to confess that I almost fall in love when I first saw it.... but not only Audrey, the whole cast manages to make the most out of it such that each comes alive as much as Amelie.
4th, the aspect i was affected most from it- the music.....I dunno how many times I have listened to the background score since the first time...& it never gets old at all!!... my love for Amelie grows through that.. seriously the background score uplifts the film into a totally new level..without it I don't think the story telling would be that much effective.... each music is appropriate & relevant for each used portion.... just listen to this amazing score...it will last in your mind as long as the movie does..may be more..I m sure.
Some of you can tell that it is unrealistic film...sure it is..but the movie is not aimed for being practical... it is the feel-good movie of all time.. being very childish & imaginative young girl as Amelie, this is the exact fantasy movie which will be lasting in my heart long time...few movies affected me like that... it can make you real happy & that is the charm of this MASTERPIECE!!...........
