Sorry to tell you this, Amélie and all other feel-good movies, you can't. They promote the idea that you can do anything if you set your mind to it. Lastly, and I am fully aware that this is a matter of preference, but I'm just one of those "unemotional freaks" who hates feel-good films. First, you have to actually fucking like each other. Also, the way she artificially created a relationship between the restaurant regular and the smoke shop girl was incredibly manipulative, and is not how relationships work.
#French films like amelie movie
JUST TELL HIM "I LIKE YOU, LET'S FUCK." AND THE WHOLE MOVIE WILL BE OVER.", and I rarely shout at films. THERE IS NO NEED FOR THIS SECRET AGENT BULLSHIT. It’s charming and has an unmistakable personality overall. Jean-Pierre Jeunet gave the world a truly unusual romantic comedy. In fact, fans of the film go there year after year in order to see the film locations. It’s sort of a myth in the French capital.

By the end of the film (hell, even by the middle of the film), I was shouting "JUST GET THE FUCK TOGETHER WITH HIM, IDIOT. Since its premiere in 2001, Amélie has been on the rise as an icon of French cinema. Secondly, Amélie herself annoyed me to no end. She's given little to no verbal characterisation, no-one ever says "Well Gee Nurse Ratched is such a bitch 'cos her dad was killed by a disabled person." or some expository shit like that, it's all left for the viewer to imagine and deduce what conspired before the movie begins and try and see if they can figure out just why Nurse Ratched is so heartless - and it works amazingly well. For a really great example of this, watch One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, my favourite film of all time, and examine the character of Nurse Ratched. After coming back from studying abroad in Paris, Exposito decided to cut her hair like Amlie’s, herself. Times, says she loved Amlie because she was such a whimsical but compassionate character who dedicated her time to making other lonely people feel less so. The best policy for character development is to show, rather than tell us the little things that make the character who they are - this helps because you're allowing the audience to work things out for themselves, instead of treating them like a complete moron by explaining that "THEES EES CLAUDE END EE LIKES TO POP BOOBLE WRAP". Suzy Exposito, a 31-year-old music reporter for the L.A. Since its premiere in 2001, Amlie has been on the rise as an icon of French cinema. First of all, telling the audience straight up what people like and dislike is not good storytelling.

I know I'm very much in the minority, but I hated Amélie, for several reasons. SERIOUSLY, PEOPLE, READ THE WHOLE COMMENT BEFORE DOWNVOTING.
