I admit it. It is my absolute favorite movie.
Despite the millions of times I saw him, rivedrei it again and again, a bit 'as when a child begging you tell the same story endlessly.
is brilliant and profound grace can fathom with some small pains ordinary without noise and enhance the magnitudes of the human soul.
A delicate and subtle character, a child-woman with a history of adult children too, now all intent on tidying up the lives of others, for not thinking of their own, so emotionally disordered.
The film is about friendships and keep odd, stories of everyday life and humble acts of daily heroism.
is the beginning of a love story shy and reserved, which began with a courtship without an author, a treasure hunt of the heart, oscillating between fear-desire to be exposed and the risk of being rejected.
Beautiful scenes with the narrator's voice-over that shows the millions of fragments of lives that are intertwined in a moment, felt on our existence and at the same time part of a whole.
And above all about the magic of Paris, the domestic space of Café des deux moulins and Montmartre as seen through the eyes of those who live there, its train stations and platforms of the subway, evidence of meetings and departures, passport photos of the yellow man who gives a bit of suspense and travel around the world of garden gnome.
Amélie is an archetype of female unknown to most of contemporary cinema, populated by heroines attributes, femmes fatales, victims of fate, the indefatigable revolutionary, desperate housewives ...
She is disarmingly simple: this is its beauty. Designed to be a bit 'naive, unable to enjoy the pleasures the most innocent and strives for harmony reigns around her, so well able to interpret the needs of others.
" better to devote more than a garden gnome," said the man when the glass prods with questions annoying that oblige it to pay attention also to his happiness ("but you, the mess of his life, who is dealing with it?").
is the way he tenderly rebellious to criticize a model that does not give parental hopes on the possibility of change, which is devoid of freedom because they are anchored in the ballast of the past that have been cemented on silly claims (to make the peace the dead wife with the garden gnome, which she hated!), a father who still does not see it, do not listen, unable to share with her any emotion.
And yet, with gentle persistence, finally manages to see at least one "lesson" the man, giving up to get the attention they never had, simply by encouraging them to do what they want most. If this is not love ...
Often, when we miss something, do to others what you would want done to us, so also in Amélie, its part of the girl alone and abandoned to itself, projecting the needs little known outside her too .
But you know, true love, giving without expecting, it can even be magical: the meeting with Nino, is due to the effects of affectionate gestures that won the other, because at some point, all the world "conspires" to make she let go, as well as the fears and misgivings.
The glass man teaches us a profound lesson: you can not always live on the edge for fear of risking to suffer, despite the disappointments and hurts of the past, it is inevitable clash again with life, because if we allow ourselves to miss the opportunities to repay someone who deeply loves us, just for fear of what will, over time our heart will become dry and brittle.
It's nice to give love and happiness to others, but it is equally right to love ourselves and with all your soul.
Good luck, little Amelie!
