THERE IS NO NEED FOR THIS SECRET AGENT BULLSHIT. By the end of the film (hell, even by the middle of the film), I was shouting "JUST GET THE FUCK TOGETHER WITH HIM, IDIOT. Secondly, Amélie herself annoyed me to no end.
#Amelie watch subtitled movie#
She's given little to no verbal characterisation, no-one ever says "Well Gee Nurse Ratched is such a bitch 'cos her dad was killed by a disabled person." or some expository shit like that, it's all left for the viewer to imagine and deduce what conspired before the movie begins and try and see if they can figure out just why Nurse Ratched is so heartless - and it works amazingly well. For a really great example of this, watch One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, my favourite film of all time, and examine the character of Nurse Ratched. The best policy for character development is to show, rather than tell us the little things that make the character who they are - this helps because you're allowing the audience to work things out for themselves, instead of treating them like a complete moron by explaining that "THEES EES CLAUDE END EE LIKES TO POP BOOBLE WRAP". First of all, telling the audience straight up what people like and dislike is not good storytelling.

I know I'm very much in the minority, but I hated Amélie, for several reasons. SERIOUSLY, PEOPLE, READ THE WHOLE COMMENT BEFORE DOWNVOTING.
