amelie be a film that strike a certain chord with me . every now and then movie come along that speak out to you and emotionally touch you in some way . amelie be one such film for me . i relate to it innocent charm and delightfully shy protagonist play by french sensation audrey tautou and the way very few film have . part of the reason we watch movie be to learn something about ourselves or recognize character that be remarkably similar to u and the way we be in real life . for all of u shy and introverted and quirky and and odd ball eccentric out there who have trouble relate to normal people and audrey tautou in this film be our personal hero . instead of go into much detail about why the film work and i will instead try to explain what it mean to me personally . sure i guess this mean i have to open up maybe more than i would like to about myself and but oh well . the way amelie childhood be present be similar to my own . i be an only child to divorce parent and very rarely have friend a i be and still be very much a loner . a a child much of my time be spend alone so i entertain myself in all kind of silly way . just like amelie do in the film . of course i gain my fixation with film at an extremely early age and but also do stupid thing like give my stuffed animal personality and have conversation with them and draw picture and create story to go along with them and and lay in bed listening to the radio with the window open on a lazy summer day imagine creature out of the cloud formation . apparently there be legion of u out there . even today i enjoy solitude far more than the company of most people and still use my imagination to think of stupid little thing . amelie do an amazing job in capture what the world be like through the eye of a person who doesn not really fit in and but find joy in the simple thing in life . like the fresh spring breeze on your face and the sound of the rain and the chirping of bird and the touch of fur and and pop bubble wrap . actually pop bubble wrap be always an exciting and rare treat during my youth . jean pierre jeunet film also have a marvelously fun nifty view of sex . for amelie sex be not something that be intimidate and temptingly desirable and sinful and adult and or lustful . it just another of the many silly thing that people do in this world that make u human . two people take off their cloth and rub up against one another . how sweet . in fact many people have insult the film for it unique view and open attitude towards sex . for shame really . sure there a lot of it actually . amelie first sexual encounter and the orgasm and the object of her affection work in a porn shop with a stripper and put price tag on dido . but it all in good fun and film with the naivety that a character like amelie would view sex a . anyways the movie really work . cinematographer bruno delbonnel do an excellent job in film jeunet crazy vision and audrey tautou with her funky hairdo and wide brown eye and and whimsical voice and kitten like mannerism and shyness bring the movie to life . a i say i relate to this movie and understand the character the way i do with few other movie simply because it be frighteningly very much like i tend to be in real life . you mean she would rather imagine herself relate to an absent person than build relationship with those around her . hmm and so would i sometimes . audrey tautou be a more reliable friend than most people and have put a smile on my face and lightened my day at the thought of her more time than one . and i still say i will marry her one day .
