Amelie is the first foreign film I have ever had the
opportunity of viewing. I will say that I am not a big fan or sub titled films.
I feel that I spend most of my time reading the captions and very little time
watching the movie.
Amelie was definitely giving the correct title as the movie
is based around one main character named Amelie. One of the stranger
characteristics of the film was the introduction of new characters into the
film. Whenever someone new would appear in the movie a narrator would give a
few details as to what the character hated and loved. The film was based in
real time when the movie was produced place in France during the late 90’s. I
also took notice to the use of very vibrant colors and mellow lighting
throughout the film.
I believe the producer was looking for an objective point of
view with all of the focus on Amelie. I really like how the director would do
extreme close up shots and blur out the back ground to enhance the focus on the
main character. The movie had a few special effects implemented throughout the
movie. Usually special effects where used when a fantasy was being looked in
too.
Being the movie was not from my typical culture or genre I
was not really into the show. I did feel that the producer was trying to get across
a sort of love story. I really enjoyed the photos of the Nome that belonged to
Amelie’s father; it reminded me of the Travelocity nome. The producer made the
main character an introverted outcast that was afraid to make a move on a guy
she had a crush on.
I personally would not recommend this movie to others to
watch. I found it hard to stick with it. Many times my attention was lost.
