Have you ever seen a movie that is so strange it's cute; so sweet it makes you smile throughout the whole thing; and so complex it makes you think and re-evaluate life?
Amelie is a movie like that. Ever since I have known Shawn, he has talked about this movie and how wonderful it is. So, I decided to rent to to find out exactly why.
"A celebration of life," is what the cover reads. Amelie's life seems almost ordinary. But what she does with it is what makes the story extraordinary. The most simple acts transform her life and those she touches--some for the good, some for the better. When she starts out committing a random act of kindness for someone she has never met, she doesn't know that the journey she begins will change her life.
I love the fact that the smallest of pleasures delight Amelie. She has an outlook on life that is so rare--she revels in the mysteries and secrets that life holds.
All she really wants is to find her one true love. And when she finally does, she hides. She doesn't want to know that the love she's experiencing is real.
