Amelie

Title of film: Amelie
Genre: Foreign Films/ Drama/ Comedy
Director: Jean-Pierre Jeunet
Year: 2001
Actors in principal roles: Amélie Poulain (Audrey Tautou), Mathieu Kassovitz (Nino Quincampoix), Claire Maurier (Suzanne) Amelie Poulain (Audrey Tautou), is a young woman, quite and shy she goes around hoping to pass un-noticed, yet she pay attention to all that goes on around her. A wide-eyed girl she looks at the world in a magical light, and from the beginning you find yourself submerged in her magical world. Amelie was the daughter of two very eccentric couple, when she was a little girl her dad diagnosed her with a “heart” problem, which resulted in her being brought up with very little exposure to the outside world. When she is old enough she packs her bags and decides to explore and discover the world outside the walls of her house. Amelie takes a job at a restaurant, from then on she changes the lives of everyone she meets and ultimately her own.
The acting in this film is exceptional, each character is unique and the way in which they are presented is so different and refreshing, the director has this incredible ability to explore the most profound feelings of the human being without recurring to the boring philosophies used in other films. The actors, I think, fit perfectly in each of their roles, I could not have imagined them to be any different.
This film is unique and fascinating; it is a feel-good movie, rich in color, plot, characters and theme. Aesthetically this is a gorgeous film, Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s films trap you in a very subtle way and you dive into the films atmosphere, plot , characters and even when the film is over you find your mind and thoughts are still in the same magical state as the films.
I would definitely recommend this movie. I rate it, on a scale of 1 to 10, probably a 12, what can I say its my favorite

    People can usually determine the genre of films they watch by analyzing the unique background music and setting tones incorporated into these films. During the opening establishing long shot of Amelie, the accordion and piano instrumentals along with the golden manipulated scenery convey the setting as peaceful and surreal. Amelie, a romantic comedy by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, is about a socially awkward, imaginative, and innocent waitress living in Paris. She gets pleasure out of helping the people around her, but also has a low self-esteem. The Purge: Election Year, written and directed by James Demonaco, is a science-fiction horror movie about a futuristic version of United States government that benefits off an annual holiday that encourages…

    Moulin Rouge

    • 1079 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Baz Luhrmann’s Moulin Rouge presents a dilemma for viewers as this movie displays the consequences of mixing obligations with personal interests and values. We see this with Satine as she is caught between two worlds in her role as a courtesan of the Moulin Rouge and also as Christian’s lover. She is obliged by her duty as a courtesan to protect Zidler’s interests, yet she also wishes to embrace the Bohemian values of Christian, those values being beauty, freedom, truth and most importantly to Christian, love. Luhrmann effectively portrays the Duke as the realistic aspect of the two worlds Satine is caught between, as he is the chief investor of ‘Spectacular Spectacular’ and owner of the deeds of the Moulin Rouge. In order for Satine to realistically fulfill her dreams as an actress, she must first escape her fantasy of love with Christian.…

As we grow and get lost in the crowd we tend to keep away from the philosophy of life and seek only materialistic things, the money, the name, the prosperity while our purpose of existence and purpose of doing something still remains in question.…

    Julia Lambert

    Thanks for her aunt, Madame Falloux, who was ‘en relations’ with as old actress who had been a societaire of the Comedie Francaise and who had retired to St. Malo to live on the small pension that one of her lovers had settled on her when after many years of faithful concubinage that had parted, Julia could teach the acting. It was she (Jane Taitbout) who gave Julia her first lessons. She taught her all the arts that she had herself learnt at the Conservatoire and she talked to her of Reichenberg who had played ingenues till she was seventy, of Sarah Bernhardt and her golden voice, of Mounet-Sully and his majesty, and of Coquelin the greatest actor of them all. She recited to her the great tirades of Corneilly and Racine as she had learned to say them at the Francaise and taught her to say them I the same way. Jane Taitbout must always have been a very stagy actress, but she taught Julia to articulate with extreme distinctness, she taught her not to be afraid of her own voice, and she made deliberate that wonderful sense of timing which Julia had by instinct and which…
