I was going to mention the comedy found in the movie but i like to see symbolism in other objects/people first then the comedy of the movie itself. It was full of it, and some was great for character developement and other parts were. . . well. . just there ("15"
)
In a way i think Amelie could be considered a dark comedy (like The Royal Tenenbaums which i loved and had that same feeling to it) as a lot of tragic events happen but i found myself laughing. The Quebecer killing her mother, the fish jumping out of the bowl which then causes Amelie to think everything she see's on tv is her fault. They were tragic events but it was funny how it was worked into the story of the movie. I think we are suppose to take the relationships of the characters seriously but not too seriously.
What does everyone else think about Amelie's love interest and his torn-up picture collection. Thoughts on why/what this really means in the movie.
