Recommend a classic "Amélie".

You Shang. Pierre. Directed by Jean Pierre Jeunet, directed by Audrey. The French film "Amelie From Montmartre", brilliantly performed by Audrey Tautu, received four nominations at the 2001 European Film Awards, namely Best Film, Best Director, Best Cinematography and Best Actress. It has become a favorite at the awards ceremony, which will also increase its momentum for participating in the Academy Awards next year.

"Amélie" tells the life story of a French little girl. It became an instant success after its release in France. French filmmakers said that the film gave Chinese people hope to break Hollywood's global dominance. When it was released in Canada, it broke the record for the highest box office of a French film in Quebec. It is considered invincible.

A hoarse male voice narrated at the beginning of the French movie "AMELIE": One day in 1973, this thing happened, and that thing happened again. Many major and minor events happened on this day; on this day, in France, a doctor's sperm and a primary school teacher's egg were combined to form a fertilized egg. From then on, Emily's female life journey began.

Isn’t this a grand opening? What kind of extraordinary story would this be? What kind of character would this woman named Emily be? Is she great? Evil? Will it be great or evil enough to change the course of humanity?

Emily is a very ordinary French girl who works as a waitress in a cafe. She has a shy personality and likes to indulge in fantasy. She also likes the feeling of splashing water and inserting her hands into rice bags. On the day Princess Diana was in a car accident, she accidentally found something left by the previous tenant in the bathroom of her home. It was a little boy's precious iron box containing glass marbles, pictures and other trinkets. Emily thus found a meaning for her life - starting from returning the box, bringing happiness to people. She found the boy who was now her grandfather and returned the box to him; she also helped many other people: the blind man crossing the street, the man who was bullied by his employer, the old painter who had been ill for many years and could not go out, and the yearning for death. The landlady whose husband can't help herself, the middle-aged man and woman who are in love with each other in the coffee shop, etc. Finally, Emily found love.

French movies often leave me breathless. Not because they are perfect, but because they are unique and unique. A story like "Amélie" would definitely have a different flavor when placed in movies from other countries. According to French director Jean Pierre Jeunet, it is like sunlight spots flickering and jumping between leaves, which is both fresh and pleasant but also confusing. Genet became famous on the international film scene with "DELICATESSEN" in 1991. After that, like all outstanding film talents, Genet was recruited by Hollywood to film "Alien 4", which attracted a lot of boos. Because of this failure, Genet was spared the assimilation of Hollywood and returned to France to concentrate on preparing for his beloved work "Amélie". This time, he was a big success, creating a movie that was hailed by all parties as "a perfect movie."

The simpler the story, the more important how you tell it. The story of "Amélie" is very simple. I once heard a saying that it tells the story of "French Living Thunderbolt". Of course, this statement is a bit gossipy, but it is also very appropriate when you think about it. It is extremely difficult for a story that is almost entirely composed of beautiful details to have artistic depth and to make people's hearts move and be remembered for a long time. We all know that compared to the brightness and warmth of life, art is better at expressing the darkness and coldness of life, and it is easier to gain depth and power. Compared with those grand themes, "Amélie" is obviously a warm sketch. It can easily be made into a bowl of touching but mediocre "chicken soup for the soul." However, the talent of director Genet prevents the possibility of mediocrity. . Genet said, "I will not give the audience enough room for imagination, I just want to impose my imagination on them." It should be said that this outrageous and interesting attempt was fully realized in "Amélie". France has a tradition of poetic realism films, represented by Marcel Carne, represented by 1938's "Hotel Nord"; "Amélie" inherits the tradition of poetic realism while adding many It has a magical element, so it can also be called a French magic realism film.

I especially like the story about "ghosts" in this film. Emily often encounters young men lying on the ground by the automatic imaging booths on the subway, picking out fragments of photos. She fell in love with this handsome and eccentric guy. One day, Emily picked up the young man's photo album, in which he used the found photo fragments to piece together a series of ID photos. Strangely, they were all of a middle-aged man. Emily followed the address on the album and went to the shop where the young man worked to return the album, but she didn't meet him. I heard from the girl in the store that the middle-aged man in the young man's photo album is probably a ghost or a mental patient who is too afraid of aging. A normal person would not take that many portraits at the many automated imaging kiosks across the city.

I won’t tell you the answer, so as not to disappoint people who watch this movie in the future and feel that they have been unbuttoned. Anyway, the amazing Emily found the middle-aged man in the photo and got married to the young man.

The appearance of Audrey Tautou, who plays Emily, can also be described as magical. She is petite and exquisite, with thick black hair and a pair of shockingly big black eyes. The upper lip is slightly thicker than the lower lip, giving her facial expression a constant pout. She is not very beautiful, but she is very charming, the kind of subtle and restrained charm with an oriental flavor. In 2001, the whole of France went crazy for Emily and called her an elf. The film has now been seen in dozens of countries. When they arrived in China, the Chinese also agreed with the elves' statement, so they translated the movie, which should be literally translated as "The Amazing Fate of Emily Blan", into "Amélie". I like this translation. Watching this beautiful movie, it feels like an angel is really flying by the window.
