AAA Movie review: Amélie (2001), Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain, Typical French Style Movie

Jean Pierre Jeunet’s "Amelie" is a film and art work with French classical style and charm. Since the film was released in 2001, the film has been screened in more than 40 countries around the world. This unique film with French national characteristics has conquered the hearts of the world audience. The history of the growth of the girl Amelie is from the young girl who was young and confused, lonely, and grew up into a curious, cautious store clerk. She is full of unique ideas about all seemingly dull things in the world. Her calm life was suddenly broken by a small iron box with another person's memory, and Amelie decided to return the box to her master. So she began to interact with different people, like listening to her neighbor's wife, or seeing the old man painting. She is kind and evil, although sometimes she would have a whimsy, but it would infiltrate her cuteness and simplicity. Such a girl Amelie is alive and worthy of believing.

The film, created by the famous French director Jean Pierre Jeunet, has a unique style of French film, always with a touch of romance, relaxation and exquisiteness. Unlike the Hollywood model we are used to, this film always has a warm and humorous humanity. The smart action mirror and the refreshing narrative are very interesting and won't make you nervous. It will make you laugh loudly, watching them smile from time to time, and fully feel the spirituality of the actors and directors. The film's female protagonist, Audrey Tautou, is a very personal actress. She doesn't have a sense of performance. Although there are not many words, it is very comfortable when making gestures. Everything is natural. At the same time, the movie "Amelie" can be said to be a film with high saturation color. It is colorful and not confusing.

The film's frame is very clean. Although there are many colorful objects piled up in the film's home, this arrangement does not seem to be a messy stack, but is carefully designed to match the overall color of the screen color layout. The film spares no effort to create the harmonious beauty of each lens for the audience to meet the audience's demand for color and visual balance, and strive to show the diversity contained in the unity, and achieve color harmony, and bring extraordinary visual enjoyment to the audience. What the film tells is precisely the dilemma faced by individuals in each city. They are eager to communicate with others, but they are afraid of being rejected. So they would rather stay in their castle and talk to themselves and entertain themselves. Jean Pierre Jeunet’s film makes people feel bright and warm. The seemingly light Parisian image actually has a serious life theme.

The isolation between people is caused by himself. If someone can bravely try to break the isolation and establish a spiritual communication, then life will be like a wonderful encounter. Amelie bravely entered other people's lives and tried to bring happiness to others. This is where the film touches people. In general, "Amelie" adopts a unique French image processing style, which combines the beautiful 50s Paris, art-inspired painting tones and image styles. The film's photographic style continues the exquisite look of European cinema, and the director's love based on color and light expression eventually turns into a faint and beautiful atmosphere. It is enough to make the warmth feel throughout the body. In the creation of this film, photography is no longer just a means. It has been sublimated into an artistic entity and has given us a strong sense of immersion. This kind of humanistic care and excellent creative technology made this film a warm-hearted work of the history of the film.
