Not a big deal though since all the important specials were ported over and everything is on one disc. In fact, several extras on the DVD are gone from here: the TV Spots, the French language trailer, and the cast and crew filmography. I am however a little disappointed that there wasn't any new special features added to this BLU-RAY edition. The BLU-RAY edition of AMÉLIE is gorgeous! The saturated colors really pop and the clarity makes the movie a feast for the eyes. Although it does paint a romanticized view of life and of Paris, it's used to great effect throughout and I love the visual style of it. The use of the effects really punctuate the story and gives it a whimsical feel. This has to be the first movie that I've seen that uses special effects and it isn't in the science fiction/fantasy genre. It isn't just a boy-meets-girl type of film it explores the angst that comes along with meeting someone that you feel a connection with and that period in-between, especially if you've been alone for a long time, and you just don't know how to take the next step.Īnother great thing about this film is the use of special effects. Perhaps that's why I enjoy this movie so much. However, no matter how many good deeds she accomplishes, Amélie cannot escape the cold loneliness that she feels inside and around her, until she's finally forced to help herself and take that flying leap of faith and letting someone else in. After proving a successful and joyous reunion, she vows to become a crusader for good helping all the other lonely people around her. In the meantime, both acquire quirks and Amélie, after finding a tin box filled with a boy's childhood treasures, decides that she's going to reunite the owner (now a 40+ man) with the lost keepsake. Both Amélie (Audrey Tautou) and Nino (Mathieu Kassovitz) wished they had another person in their life, being such lonely children, and one day as adults, their paths cross. If you haven't seen it, AMÉLIE is a wonderful story about two lonely people who've been dreaming about one another since they were children. I already owned the Amélie 2-DVD set and have been in love with the movie since my friends took me to see it at a French movie theater back in the early part of 2002 (BTW it is in French with English or Spanish subtitles). I love Jean-Pierre Jeunet's film, AMÉLIE. To learn more about how and for what purposes Amazon uses personal information (such as Amazon Store order history), please visit our Privacy Notice.
