Amelie

I just finished watching the film Amelie for the second time. It's a truly beautiful film. The life lessons it presents are many but never pushed too hard so as to become unbearable or monotonous. As I see it, the film's major thesis is basically this: "Life is yours for the taking. Don't miss your chance."However, there are many other key themes that run through the film. "Life's a game" is one. I quite like that one. Amelie, someone who always had to play on her own as a child, secretly plays with the lives of other people as an adult. She never ceases to see the fun in inconspicuously helping others, doling out judgment, and bringing interest into otherwise dismal lives.
Amelie is a movie that is, simply put, about life. It isn't about a particularly extraordinary life, just your average one. It is about human nature and the differencecs between living and being an organism. I highly suggest that you watch it (now!).
