Sesion 7: My favourite movie

Thursday, November 4, 2010

There's lots of great movies out there, but I would like to speak of a relatively new one that I absolutly adore and I think is a neo-classic on celluloid. Curiously this movie does not come from Hollywood, it comes from France, the name is "Le Fabuleux destin d'Amelie Poulain", or just Amelie.

This movie it's clasified as a romantic comedy, but is so much more than that and it is so far away from romantic comedies from Hollywood. It tells the story of Amelie, a good girl that want to do good things for other people, without them notice, but with this generous attitude she forgets a bit about herself. She falls in love, but she is a little coward and she had a hard time trying to express her feelings. Finally, to find her own happiness she must dare to face love.

This movie has a lot of magic, and sometimes is described as a tale for adults. It explore the very basics of human behavior, those particular details that each person has, things that you like, things that you don't like. It has a lot of nostalgic scenes that remind the happiness and the simplicity of childhood. Additionally, to make this movie an exquisit experience, the music, by Yann Tiersen, and the photography are a pleasure to the senses.
