Amélie
It's been a long time since I've watched such a sweet, beautiful, artistic movie. Since... I don't know. Life is Beautiful, Le Papillon, Love Me if You Dare, or perhaps Viva Cuba, but in different ways. Perhaps it's being biased, but to say that foreign arthouse films are more thoughtful and meaningful, is probably not far from the truth. Maybe French just makes some movies seem more... beautiful.
It offers hope. For dreamers, social misfits, someone who is different; and really, even the average person on the street. That there is beauty in the little things in life, and in oneself, and that there is someone who is like you, just like you, who you could meet, and could share dreams with, if only you take the chance. And that although, at one point in time, at the exact same moment, a million other things are happening around you, to other people; each is equally important, each is significant, because it means something to someone.
That one person, one single person, with just one small thing, can make such a difference in another's life. It's a beautiful world in dreams, but sometimes, we need to stop dreaming, and start living. But sometimes, we need to remember to dream. And perhaps, hope, too.
