I love Amelie! It's such a good movie. My senior year of college our french club went to go see it in a little local theatre. I was amazed at the number of people who walked out of the theatre and claimed to have hated it.
I dunno! I was rather surprised myself! I saw a lot of people shrug and say "I don't get it. It must be one of those French things." Perhaps the older generation in northern Indiana grew up with no imagination....
*laughs* then maybe we can all learn something from the french! It game me warm fuzzies, the whole thing - even the suicidal goldfish was indearing : )
today IS my thursday for Friday I shall be ahem, "sick" ; ) Arashi and I thought that same thing about the gnome. I just love her dads reaction to it - both his eventual personal decision to go abroad and his reaction to the photos the gnome was "sending" him.
If a garden gnome can enjoy life and travel the world then why cant we all? I liked that glass man's view too, why lead a 'safe' life if we can take the bumps and grinds of life without dying a little scarey risk can well be worth a fulfilled life.
People ask if the glass is half full or half empty. I always answer the question with 'yes'... Most do not like the answer but its true... Its like asking if a yin-yang is black or white, when its both.

I thought it was very clever and had a good message - some people have no vision or imagination.
