Amélie

In his interview, Joseph Campbell talks about what he thinks makes a hero. He talks about the journey heros must go on, and the sacrifices they must make in order to achieve their moral objective. In the movies Pay it Forward and Amelie, Amelie and Trevor go on different journey to achieve their moral objective, which in both cases is making the world a better and happier place. Both films incorporate the idea of helping others without prompt, and trying to do good for the sake of doing good. This

espite having a shy and introverted personality, Amélie is characterized as a person who enjoys the small things that life offers. She finds beauty where others don’t see it and she appreciates those instances in which she is able to connect with ordinary objects. Sound becomes an element in which she is able to convey this message since it helps demonstrate how she is feeling. When she is afraid or shy, the tempo of the music is largo or slow and dignified.

The hero is uneasy and/or uncomfortable and is their personal background, environment, heredity, and history are then shown. In the case of Amélie, life seems to be pulling her in different directions because she was raised in a very lonely household. Her parents

Cold World Serena Williams cautiously looked out the window, the dark clouds making the land before her look so bleak. The small blonde nine year-old girl seemed so lost in thought, but was pulled away by the sound of an ear-piercing cry of pain. Recently, her mother had been going through contractions and pain, and there was a doctor at her residence almost every day now. All the girl would hear was wailing and crying. Serena winced somewhat before getting away from the window, teetering towards

Amelie is like most movies in that it revolves around finding true love. However, its ways of introducing characters and the colors used accompanied by its brilliant soundtrack swoon the audience into accepting a fairytale world that is arguably different from other movies. Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s Amelie uses elements of mise-en-scene and narrative to create a colorful and extravagant story. Mise-en-scene is French for “putting on a scene” (Barsam 173). Every director has to make the decision of what

As I was given the film Amelie, I chose the film The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty to make a comparison. Amelie and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty used different approaches of achieving their own newfound love in their own ways. In brief, Amelie had found joy in making a change to the lives of the people around her for the better. Whilst, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty took an adventure to find Sean O’Connell to save his position in his job. Therefore, each film take various motifs to show their

"Is this truly necessary..?" Amelie asked for what felt like the thousandth time. Lena shot her a look of dismay, the exact same face Angela wore, the same one Amelie herself bore. "I can't have you two clouding the labs up with your negativity. I get that couples fight but this is ridiculous!" Lena's look of dismay shifted to one of worry. "And with your condition, it may help to ge-" "Fine." Amelie cut the girl off, not wanting her treatment to be brought up again. Overwatch had gotten it in

"But Daddy, please!?" Amelie shrieked. "He's the one I swear!" All you heard through the kingdom od Wantania for weeks were the complaints of Princess Amelie and the angry growls from her beloved pet lion, Keanu. Little did King Berko know, his daughter would be like this for weeks. It all started with Amelie bringing Keanu out to an old familiar feild they both grew up in together. Memories flash of Amelie at six years old, running through ankle high wheat, spinning and dancing with her new lion
