Reflection Task 2A

You might probably hear about the movie "Amelie" (original title: Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain). 
It is a romantic comedy film about a girl named Amelie, and her way to discover what is love. I want to give information about this film.
I chose this topic because I love this movie and I can watch it over and over again. I personally think that the topic of the film is really interesting but we can all find something in it. We sometimes lose our way and try new things to find what we're looking for. We all see the characters of the movie in our everyday life.


 

Amelie has an interesting family. Her parents raised her believing that she had a heart disease. They did not let her contact with other children, so they home schooled her. In those times, Amelie set a really interesting fantasy world to be able to bear all the weird things around her. After her mother's death, she leaves home and starts a job as a waitress in Café des 2 Moulins. Amelie loves to plan a lot of things that affect thousands of lives. She tries to encourage people to follow their dreams. When she starts accompanying Mr. Dufayel, he starts to encourage Amelie to follow the young man who collects discarded photographes. After interesting series of events, they start a really cute relationsip with this mysterious man.

"So, little Amelie, your bones aren't made of glass. You can take life's knocks. If you let this chance go by, eventually your heart will become as dry and brittle as my skeleton. So... Go and get him, for pete's sake!" (Raymond Dufayel)


  



After a brief display of Amelie, I want to share information about this interesting movie.

Soundtracks of Amelie are really attracting. Many people know about them although they haven't seen the movie yet. Music composer of the film is Yann Tiersen, a French musician. He gained a global recognition thanks to Amelie.

• The cafe where Amelie works really exists in Paris. Its name is Les Deux Moulins.

• Audrey Tauto has played Amelie's character. She is a French actress. She achieved an international fame thanks to this role.
• Amelie's mother dies when a woman jumps from a building and lands on the mother.

"You couldn't even be a vegetable — even artichokes have a heart." (Amélie Poulain)
