Relax, it's...fiction.

We all have certain things we can't get over, but it's not like there are real people suffering the consequences right now.

It...really depends on your world view. Some people prefer a beautiful lie over an unpleasant truth.

[mika-kun.livejournal.com]

Telling people to relax because it's fiction is really annoying. I'm sure the OP was not unaware that the movie isn't real. That's really not the point.

[(Anonymous)]

Relax, it's... fiction.

Isn't the whole point of fandom to obsess over fictional things?

[(Anonymous)]

"Relax, it's fiction"? What are you even doing in here?

[queerwolf]

I haven't seen it since it first came out but I didn't see it like that at all. I thought it was completely charming. I need to watch it again.

[(Anonymous)]

Haven't watched Amelie for years. I didn't interpret it like you did, but I definitely was not a fan and thought she was a bit delusional and manipulative as well as manic pixie dream girlish. And otherwise the movie wasn't even particularly memorable for me.

Also, I'm Australian, and a few years back our public TV station ran a poll of Australia's Top 100 movies and an aired a countdown special for it. Amelie won. It is apparently Australia's favourite film ever. Ugh. I don't think I will ever get over it.

[(Anonymous)]

Lol what? Which TV station was this?

/Australian

rec

[(Anonymous)]

watch "He Loves Me... He Loves Me Not" by the same actress, I bet it would be satisfying for you

Re: rec

[(Anonymous)]

I used to have those two movie confused (watched them both back to back while drunk with chatty friends) and was always very, very confused when people said Amelie was a sweet movie.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm with you. Amelie is creepy as fuck. And how creepy aren't my friends for finding her adorable? :E

[(Anonymous)]

because the actress is adorable

[escriboconundedo]

i have never seen this movie, but now i kind of want to, and i want to go into it with this interpretation in mind.

i duuno, i guess i'm fuvked up.

[dreemyweird]

Yeah. My sentiments exactly, OP.

I had the same problem with Marley and Me. My brain kept going "haha hi stupid book about how to be a completely crappy dog owner". Everyone else loved this stuff :/

[(Anonymous)]

I never watched this movie because it looked like one of those weird, trying-too-hard-to-be-sweet, creepy movies. Still don't know if I'm missing anything.

[(Anonymous)]

well, at least in Marley and Me they tried to take the dog to obedience classes.

[cloud_riven]

Ah, this is that movie I've never gotten around to watching. Ever. I was going to rent it many years ago at a Blockbuster, but my sister told me I wasn't allowed because all French movies had ladies with their tits out, and I'd be a pervert for watching it. What the hell was up with her stink-on for movies she'd never even watched, eh?

Anyways, I'm gonna go find a copy and watch it with your headcanon. Thanks, OP!

[dref22]

I am probably the only person in this world who hates this movie with a passion.

[(Anonymous)]

Don't worry, you're not. All my friends love it though, which can be really annoying when the topic comes up. (Though it doesn't come up all that often, thank god.)

[(Anonymous)]

I didn't finish it, but I agree it got hyped up to be so charming when I found it a little dark too.

[(Anonymous)]

See, this interpretation makes sense to me because I remember seeing the cover as a child and thinking it was probably a scary movie.

(...I mean, come on. To a kid that looks freaky)

[(Anonymous)]

But the shop assistant has a friend now to back him up, and the owner was revealed as abusive in front of his customers.

[world_eater]

So am I the only one that thinks this is a movie where "children's book/movie logic" simply needs to be applied? Not because it's a children's movie, but sometimes lighthearted fantasies are just meant to be taken as lighthearted fantasies. I think treatment of the "bad guy" is an excellent example for that, because consequence-free comeuppance is a very common topic in these kind of stories.

[tabaqui]

I got through about thirty minutes of this movie. It was just so *boring*. She was weird and odd in a not-fun way and just too 'pwecious'. Did not like.

[(Anonymous)]

Amelie is one creepy fuck, and I hated the way the film glorified her.
