Movie Journal 18

Amelie(French) is a 2001 Romantic Comedy film directed by Jean Pierre Jeunet. Amelie is a comedy, the story of a shy, imaginative woman who decides to change the world by changing the lives of the people she knows. There’s no confusing the world of Amelie with the world we live in, it’s a world that’s fantasy, a fairy tale for adults. It’s a world that manages to take pleasure of others, appreciating both the small joys of life and its huge disappointments. Above all, Amelie is about emotional growth, human connection, and learning to be thankful for the small, good things in life.
[Amélie hands a begger some money]
Beggar: Sorry madam, I don't work on Sundays.
Narrator: [Amélie has found Nino's photo album and his "lost" posters] Any normal girl would call the number, meet him, return the album and see if her dream is viable. It's called a reality check. The last thing Amélie wants.
Man in photo: She is in love.
Nino Quincampoix: I don't even know her!
Man in photo: Oh, you know her.
Nino Quincampoix: Since when?
Man in photo: Since always.
Man in photo: In your dreams.
