Nobody should like this movie.
Everyone gave this movie rave reviews when it came out, but it was a huge disappointment, and I am literally angry at the movie for being so terrible.
1. The movie just meanders everywhere without having any point or serious plot. The story and the characters are in no way believable or realistic. Amelie is constantly looking at the camera and whispering stupid shit to further hammer in the point that she is whimsical and far removed from the masses of France.
2. Amelie is the least likable or sympathetic protagonist ever. She is just messed in the head and tripping on acid through the whole movie.
3. Everything is either red or green. It's supposed to make things seem nostalgic, but it gets really annoying after a few shots, and just reminds us that this movie is supposed to be artsy, so we don't have to take its flaws seriously.
4. The movie pretends that the trash heaped streets of Paris are actually immaculate and old-worldly, and the people aren't all racist bastards.
5. The movie was in French, and the English sub titles had mistakes in it, like when she tells the porn shop guy what page to flip to in his book, she says "page 51", but the subtitle says "page St." WTF?
6. The ending is unsatisfying because the plot was never engaging in the first place, and I didn't care about the characters or their supposed problems.
Utter tripe.
