Amelie

Watched my very first sub-titled movie this afternoon!




"Nominated for 5 academy awards including Best Original screenplay, this magical comedy met overwhelming, acclaim nationwide. A painfully shy waitress working at a tiny Paris cafe', Amelie makes a surprising discovery and sees her life drastically changed for the better. From then on, Amelie dedicates herself to helping others find happiness ... in the most delightfully unexpected ways. But will she have the courage to do for herself what she has done for others?"


If restricted just one word to describe Amelie. I'll choose ......... quirky!


This French flick is a foreign concept to me both because of the language and the fact I'd never had to actually "watch" a movie that intently before. I have half-watched, half-listened to movies for years. Guess I'm easily distracted. Today, though, being required to actively participate by reading along drew me in to the point of not wanting to blink for fear of missing something.

I enjoyed this new experience and look forward to my next one.


If anyone actually reads my blog and has a recommendation for a Sunday afternoon read-with-me movie, let me know.
