Review of Amélie (2001) by Monica D — 05 May 2012

This movie was inspiring to me. I have always been searching for a way to not feel so selfish as a person, and to not need all my choices and actions to have some subconscious goal. But I am coming to the opinion that this is impossible. And that through understanding life through only one perspective we will always have a direct line behind us giving us a reason and a drive.

But this girl has selfish reasons to do beautiful things and it?s become a passion in her life. It gave me many thoughts about how to get natural lifts from seeing other people happy in ways that are not normally provided. Help that is not expected or understood, and thought about long after because of just that.

I don?t know if this review will make full sense to everyone, but if nothing else. Know the film to be beautiful in its unique context and amazing carry through.
