Jean-Pierre Jeunet is probably better known as a sci-fi director with titles like "Alien Resurrection" under his belt. Nothing could be farther from that genre than this delicious movie...
Musical score "Le vals d'Amélie Poulin" in "Amélie" (2002)
If possible, try to see the original French version under the name of "Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulin" to catch the musicality of the film, and just as a sample, here you have the score "Le vals d'Amélie" with some of the beautiful background scenes...
Amélie was a wonderful film... i loved it
ReplyDeletePT - you're not fan of romantic films?
but are you a romantic person, in life.
do you think women or men are more or less romantic by nature.
i feel men are more so, i think women are too practical to dwell in that state of mind for prolonged periods of time. unlike men who may become lost... in romance more often to women, i think? i've not really asked many people this question, and its a bit loaded, if the person, wishes to project a persona.

I partially agree... maybe age is a factor. I would say that women tend to be more romantic than men when they are younger. Later on in life, I agree with you, women become more practical, and men start expressing their emotions a lot more, and possibly a lot better than when they were younger.
ReplyDeleteMany times, I feel romance is a Hollywood construct... flowers, chocolates, jewelry, serenades... you see that in the movies, right? and possibly there's more marketing in the concept than what we would feel comfortable with given that romance should be an expression of emotion rather than a product.
Then, it's better not to fall into cynicism either; otherwise, true romance might come along and we would miss it. Now, that would be a real tragedy!
