[edit]Synopsis

French girl Amelie Boulang never enjoyed the warmth of her family, and her childhood was spent in solitude and loneliness. Her father, a doctor, barely embraces Amélie, except to give her medical checkups, and this rare contact makes Amélie's heart race, so her father decides that she has a heart condition that makes her unfit to go to school, and can only study at home. Lonely, she can only pass her days by letting her imagination run wild and uninhibited, discovering the fun of life on her own, such as going to the river and throwing floating rocks, putting strawberries on her ten fingers and sipping them slowly, and so on. Her only friend was a goldfish, and even she was so depressed that she tried to kill herself by jumping out of the tank. Her mother could not stand her screams and decided to release the fish into the river. Once Emily was teased by a neighbor, she took revenge on him while he was watching a soccer game - listening to it on a radio, unplugging the antenna at the crucial moment of the goal, and so on. At the age of eight, her mother was killed by a tourist who jumped off a building, and her neurotic father became even more self-absorbed and absorbed in his own world.

Growing up, Emily worked as a waitress in a Parisian café, where everyone in the café and the small apartment she rented seemed a little strange. Emily takes the subway to see her father every weekend. At the subway station, she meets a man lying on the floor reaching for a broken photo under the self-service camera cabinet.

An event in the summer of 1997 changed Emily's life. That day the news broadcast that Princess Diana was killed in a car accident, and the bottle cap in Emily's hand fell to the ground and hit a wall tile. Emily pulled a tin box out of it, filled with small playthings and many photographs that the little boy had loved. Emily then decides that if she can find the owner of the box, the tenant of the apartment from half a century ago, she will start to help all people. Emily began to search for the boy, she visited and met all kinds of neighbors, visited almost all the "Bertoux" in Paris, and finally returned the box to its owner with the help of the old glass man. From then on, she began her career as an angel who punishes the evil and helps the good. The blind man on the road, the old glass man who hasn't left his house in 20 years, the landlady who was betrayed by her husband, the stingy and vicious fruit and vegetable stall owner, the kind and mute fellow, the eccentric customer and cigarette seller in the café, and her own father.

Inadvertently, she picks up a photo album from the man who collects the photos, which is a collection of reassembled broken photos. Emily knows this is the man she wants, perhaps since the first moment she saw him. She begins to "cast a spell" on the love of her life.......

[edit]Commentary

-She'll change your life.

-Shiawase ni naru[Japan]

Rune captures moments of meaning and beauty with a keen eye for detail that is real-life but romanticized and poetic, making the whole film nuanced and compelling. The movie is much warmer and more subtle than his past work.

This is also the best way for Joinet to convey his endless nostalgia for the Paris of his childhood, the Paris of his dreams.

It's not really an entirely happy movie; it's full of melancholy sadness and bittersweet moods. It depicts a group of lonely people who have trouble communicating and communicating, and whose lives are broken and full of frustration. Underneath its rich fantasy color and wonderful imagination is a perspective and view of real life and bittersweet life. Although the Paris in Junet's lens is idealized, it still has its realistic color. Amelie may be an idealized and stylized character, but every part of her comes from every ordinary person in daily life, and she is all around us.

Junet perfectly unites the tradition of French poetic cinema with his own personal style. We can still find Junet's dark humor and eccentric creativity in the film, but we can also find shades of older directors like Poulevy and Carné.

It's fair to say that Junet made a successful comeback with this movie. When the movie was released in France, it created a wave of popularity. In its six weeks of release, the film grossed more than $28 million, which is nothing compared to Hollywood blockbusters, but it was not easy for a local French movie to achieve.

It's interesting to note that opinions of the movie are almost polarized. Those who loved it were wildly enamored, while those who hated it were unceremoniously flogged. As the artistic director of the Edinburgh Film Festival chose this as his opening film, "I couldn't have asked for a more upbeat film to open the festival, and couldn't have asked for a better piece of work to set the tone for the following two weeks."

[edit]Behind the Scenes

The film is a modern-day Cinderella fairy tale, and the Paris under its lens is as much of a more-than-postcard world as the cabaret films "Kiki" or "Dancing in the City of Flowers". It's a charming, eccentric, richly imaginative, dreamy humor that transforms a young girl's feelings and longings into a fascinating picture.

This quirky, fantastically imaginative film is the latest from French film geek Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Junet defined his style early on with a series of distinctive short films that favored unusual, even cartoonish characters and unconventional camera angles.

In sympathy with another eccentric, Mark Caro, he collaborated on commercials, music videos, and short films from the 1980s onwards, with which he acquired a distinctive personality mark: a genius for visual creativity and a strong sense of dark humor.

In 1990, they co-wrote and directed the wildly successful Delicatessen, which was met with critical acclaim for its bizarre imagery and dark humor, fairytale plot, and unique visual effects. The films won numerous awards and became cultural trends and fashionable topics. They became one of the brightest stars of French cinema. Although the highly anticipated The City of Lost Children was a disappointment to the critics, the audience was still very enthusiastic.

The success of these two films caught the attention of Hollywood, and the golden couple split up, with Joinet accepting Hollywood's offer to make Alien 4. Although Junet directed the movie alone, Caro was still involved in the production as a director. However, the movie did not have the desired effect, and was really only a very mediocre science fiction movie. In the Hollywood film industry, it is difficult to fully utilize his talent.

Rouenet seemed to realize this, and instead of working on a new film, he went back to personalized cinema. It's generally agreed that in his partnership with Caro, Caro is better at creating graphic effects, while Rounet favors actor's direction and characterization. This time, he chose the role of "Amelie Bland" as the center of the film is undoubtedly playing the strengths.

Rouenet did a great deal of advance work on the movie, especially focusing on some of the small, insignificant, but highly affecting details of the film, which were all derived from his own real-life anecdotes and those he collected, and were the result of several years of careful observation and record-keeping.

Actress Audrey Dodoo is a rising star in French cinema, having won the César Award for Best Film in 1999 for her role in the critically acclaimed Venus Beaute Institut, a light comedy. Dodo's performance as Marie, a young beautician who falls in love with a 60-year-old ex-pilot, won her the César for Most Promising Newcomer. And then in 2000, she gained further attention when she starred in the comedy film Le Libertin with two of the biggest stars***, Fanchon Pellet and Fanny Ardant.

The film's star, Matthew Kasowitz, is also a big deal. He's more famous as a director than an actor, I'm afraid. He directed La Haine, which picked up the Best Director award at Cannes, and last year's homegrown French blockbuster Les Rivières pourpres. As an actor, on the other hand, we can see him in films like "Jakob the Liar" and "The Fifth Element".

[edit]Highlights

- The role of Emily was originally intended for Emily Watson. She wanted to play the part but turned it down because she didn't speak French and had already agreed to appear in Gosford Park (2001), Gosford Manor.

-Director tagged (Jean-Pierre Genet) (Actor) Dominique Pinon.

- On location shoots, no matter what time of day it is, Jean-Pierre Genet and his crew clean up the entire location, leaving no debris, dirt or trash behind. This would make the movie more in keeping with the style of his fantasies. However, during the filming of a large train station, this job starts to become a daunting task.

- The photos for the photo booths came from a collection of real photographs, provided by a friend of director Jean-Pierre Genet. His name appears in the end credits as Michel Folco.

- Director's tag: (Jean-Pierre Genet) (The Orphans) Amelie's mother dies. Orphan was supposed to mean the loss of both parents. In the movie, Amélie's father is still alive and she cannot be considered an orphan. However, Jean-Pierre Genet often describes children as orphans, suffering the loss of one or both parents.

- Jean-Pierre Genet began collecting the stories and memories in this script in 1974.

-The art in Amélie's room (dog with tie, white bird) and her crocodile imaginary friend were created by the painter Michel Sauvé.

-There are two movies when Emily is at the movie theater. When she looks back at the faces behind her, we can see two scenes from Jules et Jim Jules et Jim (1962). When she makes a comment about the people in the movie who drive while not looking at the road, a much older movie is shown, Father's Little Dividend (1951).

- The main colors of the film (green, blue and red), were inspired by the paintings of the Brazilian painter Juarez Machado.

- The cafe where the protagonist, Amélie, works is real, in Paris, France, and is now famous for being just a local cafe with a touch of flair and character. On the wall is a signed photo of the protagonist: Amélie - Audrey Tautou. Every day there are visitors from all over the world.

- The park where the heroine: Amélie had an episode with the hero, in which the sculpted man I wonder if you noticed? If you travel to France, you can also go where you meet such sculpture people, they are performance artists.

Classic lines:

Without you, my good time will be told to whom!

[first lines] (第一段台词)

Narrator: On September 3rd 1973, at 6:28pm and 32 seconds, a bluebottle fly capable of 14,670 wing beats a minute landed on Rue St Vincent, a small town in the heart of the city. At the same moment, on a restaurant terrace nearby, the wind magically made two glasses dance unseen on a tablecloth. Meanwhile, in a 5th-floor flat, 28 Avenue Trudaine, Paris 9, returning from his best friend's funeral, Eugène Colère erased his name from his address book .... At the same moment, a sperm with one X chromosome, belonging to Rapha?l Poulain, made a dash for an egg in his wife Amandine.

Voiceover: On September 3, 1973, at 6:28:32 p.m., a green fly landed on Rue St-Vincent in Montmartre at a frequency of 14,670 flaps per minute, while at the same time, next to the stairs of a restaurant, the wind magically made two cups dance on a tablecloth. It was at this very moment that in a five-story apartment at 28 Avenue Trudaine, Paris 9, fresh from the funeral of his best friend, Eugénie Corriège erased his name from his address book. It was still at this time that a sperm belonging to Raphael Polan, with an X chromosome, went headlong into one of her wife Amandine's eggs. Nine months later, Emily Poland was born.

[last lines]

Narrator: Amélie still seeks solitude. She entertains herself with silly questions about the world below, such as "How many people are having an orgasm right now?"

Amélie: Fifteen.

Narrator: Amelie has one friend, Blubber. Alas the home environment has made Blubber suicidal.

[Pet fish leaps out of the sky]. > [Pet fish leaps out of fish bowl in an attempt at suicide]

Narrator: Amelie has one friend, Blubber. The melancholic family atmosphere leads to Babo's suicide.

(In an attempt at suicide, goldfish jump out of fish bowl)

Amélie Poulain: At least you'll never be a vegetable - even artichokes have hearts.

Amélie: At least you'll never be a vegetable -- even artichokes have hearts.

Amélie: [to her father, who is not paying attention] I had two heart attacks, an abortion, did crack... while I was pregnant. Other than that, I'm fine.

[Amélie hands a begger some money]

Beggar: Sorry madam, I don't work on Sundays.

[edit]Gangster Shots

-Display Mistake: Some passersby at the park look at the camera and crew. One little girl even waves at the camera.

-Coherence: when Dominic is talking to Emily at the bar, the amount of alcohol in her glass.

- Coherence: when Nino is at the restaurant and Emily writes on the glass, the words "d" and "du" change several times.

- Factual errors: When Nino is a child at school, the blackboard reads "vendredi 7 April 1980"; April 7, 1980 was a Monday, not a Friday.

- Staff or equipment visible: just as Emily is looking at the camera in the park, the camera and one of the staff's legs can be seen in Emily's sunglasses.

-Coherence: the change in the angle of the sun from the beginning park scene to the end is very noticeable.

-Coherence: when Nino starts kissing Emily (just after she kisses him three times), his head is tilted to the right. In the next shot, his head is then tilted to the left. (113:29 to 113:42)

-Coherence: just after Nino rings the doorbell of her house, the flour on Emily's sleeve disappears. (110:14 to 110:52)

-Coherence: after Emily helps the blind man get to the bottom railroad station, we see him rubbing cheese on a pile of pasta. Upon returning we see that the pasta is left flat inside the bowl and the cheese grater has turned 90 degrees.
