AFF: Movie#13

“One person can change your life forever.”

 Amelie Poster

This film is one of the most famous & most internationally loved films that I know of. 
Surpisingly, it’s a pretty unique and “weird” film to be so popular.
But the story is heartfelt, innocent, and imaginative.

Amélie tries to enrich the lives of those around her by weaving her special brand of mischievous magic. She befriends a neighbor who’s a shut-in, plays pranks on another neighbor, steals a garden gnome and returns objects she collects to their rightful owners. She romantically daydreams in the café she works at and marvels at life’s ironies. One day she finds a small box containing a child’s mementos and decides to set about finding its rightful owner…will romance blossom for Amélie?*

The other selling points are beautiful music and colorful, extraordinary visuals.
But it’s best to see it first to discover what makes it truly loved by so many.
