Amélie《天使爱美丽》2001

The film tells the story of French waitress Amélie. She is in her early twenties, leads a gloomy childhood and is missing something in her life, which leads Amélie to resort to her own fantastical world and dreams of love and beauty. Director Jean-Pierre Jeunet brings to life the world of Amélie with colors, masterful camerawork and a few special effects. Some people criticized it for being too childish and unrealistic, but still most people believe it is an essential part of the movie since Amélie herself is a very childish and imaginative young girl. Not a lot of movies create their own sort of universe. Some that come to mind include “The Wizard of Oz”, “American Beauty” and “Vertigo”. These movies are so distinct and original that they seem to have created their own spot in the universe, untouchable by anything else. “Le Fabuleux destin d’Amélie Poulain” can be added to that list.

这部影片讲述的是法国女服务员艾米莉的故事。二十出头的艾米莉童年过得很阴郁，生活一直缺失了什么，这导致她寻求自己的奇幻世界和爱与美的梦想。导演让–皮埃尔·热内用色彩、精湛的摄影技巧和一些特效将艾米莉的世界描绘得栩栩如生。有些人批评影片过于幼稚且不切实际，但大多数人认为这是该片的精华，因为艾米莉本人就是一个非常幼稚和富有想象力的年轻女孩。能创造自己的宇宙的影片并不多，可以想到的一些包括《绿野仙踪》《美国丽人》和《迷魂记》。这些影片极为独特且具新意，它们似乎在宇宙中创造了自己的位置，其他事物都无法触及。《天使爱美丽》也可加入其中。

台词赏

I like to look for things no one else catches. I hate the way drivers never look at the road in old movies. 

我喜欢寻找没有人在意的东西。我讨厌老电影里那些开车从不看路的人。

Without you, today’s emotions would be the scurf of yesterday’s.

要是没有你，今天的喜怒哀乐只是昨天的头皮屑。

Is there anyone who hasn’t suffered for the secret love? We always think that love is very heavy, heavy and could be the heaviest thing in the world. But one day,when you look back, you suddenly realize that it's always light, light. We all thought love was very deep, but in fact it's very thin. The deepest and heaviest love must grow up with the time. 

有谁不曾为暗恋痛苦？我们总以为爱很重很重，可能是世上最重的东西。可是有一天，蓦然回首，才突然发现，它一直很轻很轻。我们都以为爱很深，但其实爱很浅。最深和最重的爱，必须随时日一起成长。
