Amelie

I just watched the French movie ‘Amelie’. I cannot believe I haven’t seen this movie before. It’s so strikingly beautiful.

The suppressed loneliness of every character, burdened with grief of one kind or another. I love all the hope and patience, Amelies’ kindness and thoughtfulness towards those around her. I love the imagination and I love it when you hear of peoples’ stories and how they cope. But most of all, I love the silence.

To me, the movie is very sensual but distant. And in some parts of the movie, as strange as it was, I felt afraid.

I must be weird. But I really really really like this movie.
