I wasn't so fond of my French language teacher in high school, but I'll be forever thankful to her that she took our entire class to see this film at the cinema! It's one of my favourites ever!

[@johnmavroudis2054]

Absolutely an all-time Top 10 film for me… Beauty, Empathy, Kindness, Story-telling, acting, cinematography, effects, humor, romance. It has it all. Glad you loved it. Some films that are also in this category: “PLEASANTVILLE” and “STRANGER THAN FICTION”… HAPPY New Year!

[@DanBatesole]

I'll throw in a 2nd for both, but especially Stranger Than Fiction; it was a surprise favorite when I saw it years ago.

[@CasualNerdReactions]

I have loved stranger than fiction since I saw it in theaters with my sister. As for pleasantville, I just recently reacted to it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXnOkmyEfaiVmqc

[@johnmavroudis2054]

@@CasualNerdReactions Saw that and LOVED your reaction to that epic film!! Cheers!

[@clemv8926]

"C'est l'angoisse du temps qui passe, qui nous fait parler du temps qu'il fait" is an amazing quote too. It means something like : It's the fear of time passing, who make you talk about the weather" because in french, time (temps) and weather (temps) are homonym. So basically : it's the fear of "temps" (time) passing, who makes you talk about the "temps" (weather)

The lady with the guitar on the video tape was Sister Rosetta Tharpe. She's an oft hidden part of the history of rock and roll having influenced a whole load of well known names like Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis and Chuck Berry. The video clip of the complete song is on KZbin; it's called "Up Above My Head". There's also a documentary of her life story on here somewhere as well.

[@amandabroom9878]

One of my all time favorites! Love that you're reacting to it!

[@Llanchlo]

Agreed - not enough reactions - and as soon as it popped up I knew CNR was the right reactor for it.

[@WilliamGreer]

It's a little less lonesome watching my favorite movies with my favorite reactors. Thanks for that.

[@Foxcb27]

I almost forget how amazing this movie is. Im so glad, that you are watching it in french.

[@cieldunord4208]

You should really add "A very long engagement' (2004) to your watch list. It's likely the best work from this director and to me, up there in the top 20 best films ever.

[@Trendyflute]

One of my all-time favorite movies, my first DVD because I HAD to have it, the soundtrack was on my playlist for years (Yann Tiersen)...lots of fans consider Amelie the consummate INFP personality type and I relate to that. "It's a hard world for dreamers" is a great line, somehow one I've never put much stock in until watching your excellent reaction. You got the vibes so well! Thanks for watching this!

[@jannetkoolman5645]

I visited the cafe in Paris and sat in Nino’s seat, living the dream ❤. Also visited the location of the grocery store. Please also watch A Very Long Engagement, in the original French language. I always like to think it’s about Amelie’s (great) grandmother

[@etiennebrun8760]

The soundtrack is from Yann Tiersen. He's a musician and composer. A genius.

[@timnicolais4480]

This is my absolute favorite movie. I learned to play the accordion because of this soundtrack by Yann Tiersen.

[@gember1382]

I loved this reaction to one of my favorite movies. I love it when reactors "get" it. And you did ❤

[@kimwalker4438]

Do you remember the Travelocity gnome? It’s a direct reference to Amalie 😂

[@thomask8345]

Audrey Tautou is absolutely magical in this movie. ❤

[@diskoebalo]

thank God, someone's reacting to this beautiful movie again

[@philc2729]

Exactly as you said, we weren't watching actors in a performance, we were given unique peeks into lives of everyone around Amelie, in each's perspective. The film is very insightful and makes us reflect on our humanity and our lives in general. Different from big budget films with roller coaster rides of emotion, this was a boat floating by on calming waters by the events of their daily lives. Ripples in the water were the slight perturbations we got to experience.

[@ShreveportJoe]

So glad you reacted to and liked a film that is rarely evaluated on the KZbins… one of my favorite films ever… a “feel good” movie that really makes you feel good.

[@johnanderson5558]

Loved watching this with you ❤

[@prd1073]

Such a lovely life affirming film, which I saw in my local art house cinema when it came out. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@JeanLuc6565]

You will love another french movie called Intouchables (2011)

[@renlessard]

I remember I was down and happen to catch this in the theatre / It was such a pick me up and really helped my mood greatly

[@lili35000]

Hello ! Have you noticed that Nino Quincampoix (Mathieu Kassovitz) played in "The fifth Element" ! The Guy with the corridor hat who try to rob Bruce Willis at his door !!! 😉

[@ResoluteGryphon]

"Gimme de cashsheshe!"

[@2nijuni2]

Another fun fact : he's also the director of the French movie "La haine"

[@lili35000]

@@2nijuni2 Of course ! And he played in "Amen", almost as hard as "Schindler's List"

[@shwicaz]

Another film that had a 'stylized charm' is Toto les Heros (Toto the Hero). LIke Amelie, its a film that is surprisingly moving and full of whimsy and emotion. Glad you liked this one. I remember seeing it in the theater and had a blast.

[@scarletibis3158]

Beautiful kitty ❤

[@litterpicker1431]

19:23 This sequence recalls a scene from Jeunet's _Delicatessen_ - something of a fan favourite.

[@BlackavarWD]

I JUST watched your reaction to *The Game* right before this and couldn't help but notice the similarity in these 2 movies... 21:15

[@fday1964]

Hope you toss in an occasional foreign film reaction. World cinema has so much to offer. Departures from Japan, The Lives Of Others from Germany, The Secret In Their Eyes from Argentina are a few suggestions.

[@dqan7372]

Might be my favorite movie. "Delicatessen" (by the same director) might be a good watch for the channel someday. "A Very Long Engagement" is terrific if a bit long (same director and actress). "The City of Lost Children" doesn't quite hold together but is still really good.

[@TTM9691]

Loved this movie, loved this reaction! To say that there was very little chance you wouldn't like this one would be an understatement! From the same directing team is Delicatessen and City Of Lost Children but I would do City Of Lost Children around Christmastime! The imagination in these films is enchanting and inspiring.

[@d.k.6361]

One of my favorites! I look forward to watching your review and reaction.

[@loud_hailer6240]

What a fantastic reaction to such a lovely film!

[@eglantinepapeau1582]

be blessed for reacting to this

[@daybeau7819]

US viewer/French audio/English subtitles: Your remark about the music (circa stone skimming from bridge scene) is spot on. Even so, with a little less of or reworking of the adult material, I thoght the US release would have had a much more enthusiastic reception. As it is, I almost feel guilty loving this movie so much.

[@torontomame]

Thank you for this. I'd forgotten how magical this film is! ❤

[@71lizgoeshardt]

Marvelous movie. So soul lifting and cheekily hilarious. It got me through a tough time in my life. Encouraged me to open up and take risks with people.

[@Peggi109]

One of my favorite movies. Im so happy to see your reaction. ✌Hi from NYC.

[@sallyatticum]

Aw, I love this movie! One of my faves. I knew you would enjoy it.

[@littleflick]

Such a beautiful movie

[@CarolinaCharles777]

One of my top 5 favorite films! Thanks for reacting to it.

[@moreanimals6889]

One of my favorite life-long directors Kristof Kislowski, always used classical music in his films and would work with the same composer. Recently, I decided to look for the music to my favorite of his movies, Bleu and found it on KZbin. I listened to it in the car and at some point, it transitioned into the music from this move. What a funny coincidence.

[@tubekulose]

Oh, I love this movie so much (I acctually love most French movies but this is one of my favourites)! ❤ It's interesting that you watch the French soundtrack. A friend of mine also prefers watching foreign movies in their original language instead of their - in our case German - dubbed versions. Or was an English dubbing simply not available? 🤔 😊

[@fandelapin2971]

I think american people (english too) don't dub everything like we do in europe, because most of the time they will watch american or british movies. On the other hand i'm french and in my country it's rare not to watch the dub version of movies (i do, because i'm learning english)

[@johnmavroudis2054]

I’m American (for context)… I’ve always preferred to watch in the original language and reading subtitles. 99% the dubbed ones annoy me as always something feels a bit off with voices and distracts from the film. Maybe Europe just does dubbing a little better… and/or watching the original in the original language feels right. Cheers!

[@tubekulose]

@@fandelapin2971 Oh, I see. Here in Austria you get even the cheesiest foreign junk movies in a German version and you sometimes wonder how the production companies had any budget left for this. 😁 I'm pretty sure it's the same in France.

[@purcascade]

​@@johnmavroudis2054 It's like when the actor clearly says fuck, but they dub into something else. You can always tell. 😂

[@Trendyflute]

these actors are so good, I want to hear their deliveries. Generally my attitude with subs/dubs...I go where the performance is best, and if it's a good piece of media that you want to watch, it's usually well done in the original language.

[@wendellwiggins3776]

MANY OF US had already experienced his 2 previous INCREDIBLE MASTERPIECES, "Delicatessen & City of Lost Children" which I will only give one SPOILER! They are just as visually artistic, surprisingly imaginative & charming but while this is light & funny, those 2 are just the opposite! I SO RECOMMEND them! They are AVANTE-GARDE film classics

[@leowalless9328]

I love it that you watched this! I know it's not a big numbers movie for reactors, I really appreciate that you took the time and gave us your honest reaction

[@lili35000]

You really should react to "Intouchable", another great, great french movie !! Take Care. Big kisses from France

[@WatchWitch]

loved your reaction and thoughts!

[@mrg0th1er83]

In the feel good movies category, this is arguably the best one there is.

[@couch.patati-patata]

That year the Oscars had a strong field in the Best Foreign Language Films. Amelie from France, Lagaan from India, No Man's Land from Croatia or Bosnia. No Man's Land won.

[@purcascade]

I'm going to have to try to find No Man's Land. If it's better than this, it must be amazing.

[@couch.patati-patata]

@@purcascade I just wanted Lagaan to win.

[@ReligionOfSacrifice]

There is only one reason I am glad to have watched this movie. I found out about the actress and found this movie which almost made the top 50 favorite movies of all time. 53) A Very Long Engagement (2004) - French with English subtitle My grandfather born in 1891 fought in WWI and there are very few movies on that war which will blow your mind and capture your attention all the way through. This girl can do it.

[@ReligionOfSacrifice]

If you don't thnk you'll ever watch it, then see this to change your mind, but stop it if it even begins to capture your imagination for this video in a little over 4 minutes shows the whole movie story so beautifully. kzbin.info/www/bejne/maS0o6eZr9x0i6s

[@dewey70]

What a sweet movie. I was always curious about this, seeing the title at the video store.

[@Bunny_Aoife]

top 3 films of all time for me, glad u got to enjoy it

[@huyxiun2085]

I'm finding new good reactors thanks to this movie. To make a reaction to it is just a proof of good taste 🙂

[@heelgrasper]

If you're up for trying another french film at some point I would recommend *La Familie Bélier". It's both fun and emotional

[@Lepusxlupus]

"he put her to sleep?" .....this made me laugh. no! 🤭

[@lepetitviking2670]

If you want to watch another french movie, i suggest L'Auberge Espagnol, the first of a beautiful trilogy

[@zvimur]

The odd visuals are all Jean Pierre Jeunet. In Anien:Resurrection, City of Lost Children (and Delicatessen?) he went deeper into the grotesque. Here, it's milder.

[@binrotheheretic8174]

Which is maybe why Mic Macs, A very long engagement (also starting AT) and Amelie are such brilliant films.

[@zvimur]

@@binrotheheretic8174 haven't seen that one yet. Speaking of films I haven't seen, the 2022 remake of "The Toy". Any good?

[@binrotheheretic8174]

@@zvimur Haven't seen The Toy. - btw it's 2 movies - Mac Macs - but A very long engagement - along with Delicatessen and City of Lost children and another short film make up a Jeurnet box set - Alien Resurrection was a director for hire job iirc to help fund Amelie.

[@zvimur]

@@binrotheheretic8174 Resurrection had both Ron Perlman and Dominic Piñon in it. So, Jeunet made some effort.

[@bahhab9361]

10/10

[@cusdu63]

Great movie. From the same director you should also watch Délicatesse, The city of lost children, A very long engagement. Must sees (especially the 2 first ones).

[@purcascade]

"Poor guy... ish" 😂😂😂

[@JoePlett]

Thanks for watching this. While I enjoyed Jeunet's earlier films like Delicatessen & City of Lost Children, I found Amelie a bit TOO .....cloying. For my taste it didn't have to try so hard to be quirky & precious. Still, no one but Jean Pierre Jeunet could have made this film. While not my favorite Jeunet film, it does have its moments. And the cast is superb.

[@UrieNanashi]

Oh I love this film. One of the best romances.

[@wombat5334]

love this film.. wish there were more like this.. What genre would it be classified as anyway?

[@StatsJedi]

The best movie ever made.

[@mrg0th1er83]

I noticed many mistakes in the subtitles. Not all of them meant the same thing as the French dialogue.

[@kosh6612]

Easily one of my favorite pieces of cinema... and that soundtrack. Was in Paris and some street performers were playing it.... the chills (and worth owning the soundtrack). lol my parents had a weird chipmunk vase (Edgar) they didn't want, so just placed it in our house, we returned it back to them, they quietly put it back in our house. After multiple repeats and as a traveler, I started taking it around and emailing holiday pics with Edgar in different locations.... ala the gnome. Pretty sure Edgar Chipmunk still has an email address lol. Alien Resurrection.... just a look at the cast is enough to say how much influence he had.. though you should DEFINITELY watch The City Of Lost Children first. It includes Ron Perlman and Dominque Pinon and Dominique Pinon and Dominique Pinon and.... is definitely NOT a Christmas movie imo lol.

[@scipioafricanus5871]

and he must also watch Jeunet's "Delicatessen" (1991) and "A Very Long Engagement" (2004)

[@vincentlehebel4399]

Merci pour ta réaction mon ami..😊..from jeunet,you should have a look to all movies(délicatessen,city of lost children),especialy to a very long engagement..

[@wendellwiggins3776]

By contrast to this delightful uplifting romantic adventure PLEASE watch his previous masterpiece "CITY OF LOST CHILDREN", a dark steam-punk science fantasy fairytale thriller with the same incredible visual imagery. You'll be amazed!

[@bystander-n5g]

"Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain" is one of the best, there is "Intouchable", "Un Prophète", "Monsieur Batignole", "Les Choristes", "Jean de Florette" and "Manon des Sources"(purely on skills there are great talent, great actors in those 2movies), i know there is "The Artist" but i have never seen it until now so i can't say if it's good? I'm a fan of Clovis Cornillac coz i think he is as great as Dicaprio but he has never done great movie... "Le serpent", "Le Scorpion", "La Brigade du Tigre" are perfect instance where he could have done better ... and the movies were no so great either.

[@AndrewWilsonStooshie]

The primary rule of story telling is show, don't tell and get the characters to show it not the narrator. Yet this beautiful little film spends the first 20 minutes having the narrator tell you the likes and dislikes of the main characters. Despite this it's a film where suspension of disbelief is almost immediate.

[@3DJapan]

It's a very French film and I don't mean the language or location.

[@newmoon766]

You might like "Cinema Paradiso".

[@adaddinsane]

Wonderful film. So French.

[@erictaylor5462]

There is a French Rom Com I think you would like called Le Nom des gens (The Names of Love (2010). It is about a Conservative middle-aged, perfectly ordinary (my name is Arthur Martin there are 15207 people in France with that name) government epidemiologist and a very unique (My name is Bahia Benmahmoud. No one else in France has that name) young woman on a mission. Seduce conservative men and fuck them liberally, until they turn into liberals. She turns Arthurs life upside down but then Arthur performs a simple act of kindness for Bahia's father and she ends up having her life turned up side down. I fell for this movie when I saw it, I especially loved the line, "If we can't trust the ducks, that is a problem." (ducks are my favorite animal. And I really don't care that they a fowl).
