Amelie

Amelie was a different movie. It is about a girl who never got much attention from her parents. Her parents thought she had a heart condition because when she got physicals from her dad her heart would race because it was the only physical conduct she received from them. Amelie's parents home schooled her so she was never able to develop people skills and never made friends. Because of this she gained a vivid imagination. Her imagination was protrayed in the movie because it showed what she was thinking in different situations. The childhood she had affected her into her adult life as we see in the movie. Once she finds a 'treasure' of someone elses child hood and returns it to them, she gets a new outlook on life and become a do-gooder. She lives near a old man who paints random pictures. He teachers her a valuable lesson though about love. He says that if she doesn't take care and bring love in her life, that she could grow old with a heart as brittle as his bones. After hearing this Amelie sees Nino and falls for him instantly. The only problem thought is that she doesnt know how to act on her feelings to she has a resort to strange ways to get him to notice her. She starts to leave him clues and Nino eventually gets curious and pursues the clues who lead him to her. Amelie was a strange movie to me. I dont think its one that will go in my top 5 but it was an interestine one to watch.
