Amelie

1) I think some of the things that stood out to me about the movie first off was the subtitles. They were translated to english differently than how Americans would normally talk, because the french language has different sentencing of words than what I am used to. I thought that storyline was also a little different because it was confusing and weird at the same time. I disliked Amelie because she seemed more less like a creeper and stalker than someone that was just trying to do go deeds for others. I was somewhat intrigued by the movie as well because it was nothing like American movies, especially in the sense that we don't flat out say, "sally likes these things and sally hates this." The plot was very confusing until the end when I figured out what she was trully doing with all of these peoples' lives and the end is when I figured out that she was actually trying to help all of these people. The movie was simple yet very complex. Also, it was very surprising!

2) I thought the movie was about a young girl whose parents sheltered her from the world because they thought she had heart problems and she was forced to be home-schooled by her mother. Her mother dies and later on she moves to a new apartment, by herself. At the apartment, she finds some treasure in one of the walls of the bathroom which was left by a former resident. She returns the treasure and she loves how the guy was so happy that she gave the treasure back to him that she decides to devote her time to doing good deeds for others throughout the movie such as writing love letters, helping the guy with the treasure box, helping two lovers unite, and also helping the guy who is said to have brittle bones and paints. After all of this, Amelie decides that she also wants to be happy, so she does so by doing little deeds to "tell" her lover that she likes him. It isn't until the very end that the guy figures out who has been playing these tricks on him and they begin dating.

3) I learned from Amelie that you should do good deeds for others to make them happy, but to also make yourself happy. In addition to that I learned to follow your heart and everything will come out in the end.
