I loved this film...it excels in so many areas. It's very funny, very touching, very human, very weird, very sad, very very. When I see a film like this I wonder why Hollywood does not (or cannot) produce films of its quality ("Martha Fokker" indeed). I guess what was best about Amelie was that is was <real>; that what she did and felt was something all people could identify in themselves: her desire for justice, but not in the tired old legal way, but in a real, human way. Her desire for love, not simply for herself, but for others in the world, even for those who the world sees as misfits, or as somewhat undesirable in appearance or behaviour. I loved the film, my wife loved the film (an unusual agreement!), and we're going to see it again.
