Le Fabuleux Destin d Amelie Poulain ...



Whatever you say about Amelie it is less. Yes its a movie most dramatic yet most real of all...You feel like laughing out loud and  you smile all the time  to yourself thinking on how close it is to your own secret melodramatic portrayals...
As Amelie leaves it to test of time. if it leads to good she will help humanity else "too bad""..same is the story for u so many times...the deadly elongated portrayals of probable causes of things not on time as she planned and expected is outright funny

From the portrayals of childish Amelie trying to pass time by various amusing things, strawberry eating game esp. , to  the terror of her eyes with the notion that she is the reason behind numerous tragic happening's then her revenge with the one who deceived her in believing that,  to the grown up Amelie  with the shine of her eyes when she discovers all people smiling at the dark in movie theater and to  getting her way to all things  .

It all seems like a sweet game n you become a co-conspirator in her various mischief's and the good doer in her pursuits...you find a share of glory in all her little success and you pray for the things to get the right way... At last you feel the hesitance on her behalf and your success when all goes well
.. Loved the movie ...its pretty amazing movie and indeed a must watch!!!

11th Oct 13  - Rewatched this movie. This time what strikes out is the painter, the innovative ways of Amelie to get people do things, and an amazing imagination interwoven with reality. Time stands still, the world changes, the regularity is no-where close, which job, which promotion, which life, what turmoil, there's nothing left of it...its as if to fill the moments of your linear life, with bubble wraps, or the photo's - of the mystery man, who after all - isn't a dead-man after remembrance, but a mystery man, its the ghost of scary houses, who is after all a human, with touch and contact that can only convey love. There's nothing to be scared of. the demons of people and their nefarious acts - do almost come like a dragon towards the end, but yet wonderfully so - the imagination rules, though in form of cat - only to be ascertained moments later, its all your imagination, make it as beautiful, as you can...In love with this movie. It speaks some other language.. Sign language? Who is the protagonist here, the dwarf traveling the world, the retirement - not well taken? The bullied servant,
obsessed with lady Di's or the frustration of painter with the glass palace, only to be mesmerized at the end, that its a lovely fine emotion after all and nothing can take it away  from her, she can stand life. and more so, built it as per imagination.

No, no though it feels like, I should stop here, put it to rest, but I need to mention the dialogue where there are only two explanations of his being absent/10 minutes late then the set time of 4O'clk - its either he never got the message, the sweeper swept it off or he did got the message - an the long narration traversing worlds , only to reaffirm "she can't be upset because of a guy- who eats ... and " . This particular dialogue is just so awesome!!!

Since I am on it, also this time what strikes out, is the mention of stars - in different context, most prominently the rich people shooting of there ashes to the newly discovered stars - in aim to shine forever. Now this was absolute delight!! Couldn't help but smile at the bewildering thoughts..

The part where Amelie doubts and watches the end she meets, well its the one which gets the story forward. Also the discovery that changes her life forever. The one news, the one cap drops and the one brick to golden times and the devotion for a cause. Wow, simply awesome :)  !!!
