{5\/5} “I am nobody’s little weasel.”<\/p>\n

Amelie’s mother died when she was\u00a0 young and her father wasn’t very sociable so she spent a lot of time using her imagination. She’s now a waitress — she has some interesting coworkers and customers. She finds a box of knick knacks hidden in her wall and vows to track down its owner. When successful, she embarks on a mission to do good things for other people.<\/p>\n

Amelie<\/strong> was released in 2001. It’s one of my favourite movies, and I’ve seen it 3 or 4 times.<\/p>\n

It has a similar quirky sense of humour as Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s earlier movies Delicatessen<\/strong> and The City of Lost Children<\/strong>. There are many amazing details on screen, and it’s very funny.<\/p>\n

The story is populated by many unique characters — people who live in the same building as Amelie, people at the restaurant, and some in between.<\/p>\n

Audrey Tautou was a revelation the first time I saw this movie — she’s perfect as Amelie — and I’ve since seen her in several other movies.<\/p>\n

Like Star Trek<\/strong><\/a>, this movie will leave you feeling good about the world. It’s a beautiful movie, and if you haven’t seen it I encourage you to drop everything and watch it now.<\/p>\n

The exuberant\u00a0music is by Yann Tiersen (Good Bye Lenin!<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

Audrey Tautou (A Very Long Engagement<\/strong>) plays Amelie. Dominique Pinon (Alien Resurrection<\/strong>), who’s in all of Jeunet’s movies, plays Joseph.<\/p>\n

The movie was directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Micmacs<\/strong><\/strong>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
