“Everyone says they like Amelie because that was the accepted film for pseudo-/forming intellectuals to cite to prove they had “foreign film” interest…”
I don’t like ‘Amelie’. At all. I think it’s boring and I don’t see the charm in it, only the annoyance of wasting the time it takes to watch it.
However, I also realize that – like many things – taste in movies is subjective.
To say that “everyone” that likes ‘Amelie’ does so because of X is just wrong, objectively. Perhaps – perhaps not, but perhaps – you’re correct about a lot of the people that like it…and certainly you’re correct about AT LEAST a few.
But I’m not arrogant or self-centered enough to believe that my subjective view on any film can define everyone that disagrees with that view.
Noone’s that perceptive. Or empathic.
And if you’re who I think you are (think…don’t know): Stay the FCK away from my friends. BTW…this is a great movie…ever see it?

Also on my A List:
“Pride, pride, pride…has lost more cases than lousy evidence, idiot witnesses and a hanging judge all put together. There is absolutely no place in a courtroom for pride.”
And, of course, this:
FAIR USE: CRITICISM – A great clip from a great movie. Norton is absolutely compelling throughout.
Some people consider friends to be family.
