Customer Reviews

A celebration of life
If you're not a workaholic, take time to watch sunsets and enjoy simple pleasures such as "skipping stones", then chances are Amelie will steal your heart.

I don't know, what can I say... Do the French just feel more passionately about life in general? Maybe so, maybe not. But I think this film could melt the frostiest stiff.

Everyone Amelie encounters has such an interesting personality and she brings such a ray of sunshine into their lives. From encouraging her father, by hilarious means, to travel the world, mischievously matchmaking cafe locals and of course her absolutely romantic stratagems she devises to pursue true love, this film breathes humanity. "Do you want to meet me?"... who wouldn't be curious about that!?

The part where she's day dreaming of Nino sneaking up behind her , running his hand across the beaded curtain, which simultaneously turns out to be her cat, is such a beautiful human touch that I rarely see done in films. Heart warming and genius.

The adorable Audrey Tautou is magical to watch as she brings Amelie to life with caring and compassion. She drinks life so deeply. And being that most of us live in such a fast paced, and self centered society we could learn a few things from Amelie.

One of the best movies ever made
"Amélie" is a very different movie, especially now, when most of the movies are made on aliens and natural disasters. This movie is about a girl Amélie, who sees her life and people in it differently. She not only tries to understand it properly, but also want to help people who she thinks need it. She is serious, fun, emotional and naughty, all at the same time. This movie will leave its mark on your heart, so it makes sense to grab a DVD of it! Worth each penny.

100% guaranteed to make you feel good
The powerful message of this amazing movie is simple: Life is wonderful! Our creativity and freedom can always make it that way. Everytime I watch this movie I smile and embrace life.
