...in conversations about this movie who simply doesn't like it. When I say that "I hate it", everyone starts to praise the whole movie.
Reasons I don't like this movie are:
1) All too happy in a too sweet way 2) Soundtrack, which is the most stereotyped soundtrack I have listened to 3) Characters. The main character is simply a nut job 4) The overall look and feeling of it. Those zooms and tracking shots...
I've always thought that if Amelie would have been an Hollywood movie, everyone would have said "It too sappy", but now when it is in french: "Aaah...it's so nice." Yet again, I feel I'm the only one who thinks this way.
For some reason this movie just didn't work for me. I'm not a pessimist or anything, but all that chirpy and happy feeling just don't cut it.
Having watched other Jeunet's movies, I think that his style just doesn't work for me.
