Amelie
in Movies ·
I didn't quite have the energy to dive into this entire thread... but...
...Amélie was honestly one of my biggest letdowns last year (I watched it on DVD)
The movie is sweet, a total visual sugar rush where everything is lovely and just a little bit quirky, and the lead actress is even cuter and just a tiny bit eccentric... but is that REALLY IT??? (that's what I found myself asking once the credits rolled)...
It stands in such stark contrast to someone who claimed they didn't expect much but ended up with a masterpiece... I was expecting a GREAT film, yet I ended up watching shallow, sugary nonsense... it's exactly how little Ivica (or perhaps just your average American) imagines a foreign film ought to look...
And it is shallow, shallow, shallow... oh, it's just terribly shallow and superficial...
Even the subplot involving the guy wasn't intriguing at all because I figured out immediately that he obviously services photo booths... I mean, it isn't exactly Amélie, nor is it a film that gives you anything to actually chew on intellectually...
To me, it reminded me of another sugary mess called 'Chocolat'... just as shallow, just as silly, and just as much of an attempt to play on the "Aaaaah, look how sweet and unconventional this is" angle...🙂
What a life-changing experience...😵

Best movies of 2003?

I suppose I see where you're coming from... however, we really must acknowledge that theater and cinema are two entirely distinct art forms! It isn't merely the minimalist and unconventional set design that makes a film a masterpiece, is it? *Dogville* is so much more profound than just its visual staging...
On another note, I found myself reminiscing about the Russian classic *The Return* just now, and honestly, I am left quite conflicted—can anyone else tell me which of those two films actually held the title of my favorite from last year?😕
