amélie! (1 Viewer)

[bubz :D]

god i love this movie. i only watched it recently, and then watched it again the other day... gets better every time.

le temps n'a rien changé. amélie se réfugie toujours dans la solitude ..et se pose des questions idiotes sur le monde ou sur cette ville.
par exemple, combien de couples ont-ils un orgasme ê cet instant?
time has changed nothing. amelie still seeks solitude. she amuses herself with silly questions about the world below.
such as, "how many couples are having an orgasm now?


..et j'ai eu deux crises cardiaques, j'ai dû me faire avorter... j'avais pris du crack enceinte. en dehors de ça, tout va bien
i had two heart attacks, an abortion, did crack... while i was pregnant. other than that, i'm fine


voilê, ma petite amélie, vous n'avez pas des os en verre. vous pouvez vous cogner ê la vie.
si vous laissez passer cette chance, alors avec le temps, c'est votre coeur qui va devenir aussi sec et cassant que mon squelette. alors, allez-y, nom d'un chien!
so, my little amélie, you don't have bones of glass. you can take life's knocks.
if you let this chance pass, eventually, your heart will become as dry and brittle as my skeleton. so, go to him, dammit!


sans toi, les émotions d'aujourd hui ne seraient que la peau morte des émotions d'autrefois.
without you, today's emotions would be the scurf of yesterday's.

I watched it for extension english prelim and loved it. And Audrey Tautou (probably misspelt that) was so cute...awww....

 

[gordo]

did u see that other movie recetnly, from the makers of amelie
i forgot wat its called, it was at the movies about 5 months ago

 

[tempco]

haha yes, i watched this movie ages ago. i thought it was great... and i love the first quote.

 

[Ellie-Bee]

amelie is great. that is all.

 

[icecreamdisco]

i think it's bookended by greatness... the pre-credits scene is awesome, the ending is beautiful too, but everything in between kinda drags. still a good film, and audrey tautou is a dreamboat.

eurotrash!

nah, it's not a bad film, just way overrated

check out delicatessen and city of lost children. i like 'em a lot better

 

[bazookajoe]

I thought it was great, not absolutely brilliant, but still a very good film.

 

[tomorrows_angel]

i didn't like it. we saw it for french in year 10 or 11 or something. i thought it was boring and quite ridiculous.

without you, today's emotions would be the scurf of yesterday's.

hehe i translated that literally. (i don't know what scurf is). "without you, the emotions of today would only be the dead skin of the emotions of other times..."
man my french must suck more than i remember.

I think you're talking about Love me if you Dare, which I am still to see.

I enjoyed Amelie, and I've seen it a few times, but I think you need a decent break between viewings.

Amelie is great, city of lost children is pretty alright too.

The newest film by Jeunet is A Very Long Engagement. I don't know where you get "Love Me If You Dare" from.

Amelie is a tad on the overrated side, but it's still a good film that appeals both to critics and the mainstream... something that few art films do achieve.

Julie Delpy/Virginey Ledoyen > Audrey Tautou.

..Its French? I dont know, just kinda assumed because they seemed similar.

 

[my sharona]

I used to love this movie.

But now every time I think about it, I think 'Flaneur'. Damn UTS!

 

[icecreamdisco]

^ great sig. that whole last section of the film is awesome (mainly cos it has bellucci nudity without rape, i 'fess).

It scared the crap out of me.

I watched that movie over half a year ago. I couldn't get to sleep two nights ago thinking about it.
She got so rorted because of one bad decision, and everyone else was so corrupt.
But yeah. Bellucci = Hotness! Have you seen Malena?

P.S. Sorry for ruining your pretty little thread, bubz.

 

[icecreamdisco]

the entire last section of irreversible dilutes the effect of the rest of the film. which is a good thing.

i haven't seen malena, no. i have seen l'appartement though, a great early film of hers (it was remade as wicker park).

she made matrix reloaded a lot better too.

A Very Long Engagement is pretty solid walrus. I have to say I'm a bit disappointed to see Jeunet moving further and further from his dark, quirky beginnings though.
