When Amelie guides the old blind gentleman through the streets, describing to him everything she sees. This scene always makes my heart melt!
shareYes, I love that scene. my favourite in the film. Its a depiction of ordinary city-life at its absolute best.

The scene that almost brings tears to my eyes is where Amelie is making her plum cake and she's imaging Nino sneaking up behind her, but it turns out to be her cat. I can definitely relate to that scene.
shareIt's a terrific event, and as endearing as can be.
Makes me quite fond of her, to say the least.

I always choke up when the guy in the phone booth opens up the box. And then again at the end when he gives his grandson Lucas a piece of chicken. Something about that story line always gets to me.
shareYes! When Dominique Bretodeau finds his childhood box in the phone booth, and starts to cry, I get all choked up, too!
Plus, my son is named Lucas, and his grandson is named Lucas (although I love the French pronounciation of it, "Loo-KAH"). I love when he gives him the special part of the chicken at the end.
On my first viewing I didn't even notice that the man was blind. Now that scene makes a lot more sense and has a lot more depth to it for me now. I'll have to re-watch it at some point. For me, it's definitely a film with relatable moments and sad/beautiful moments even when not relatable.
The humour was great too, particularly in the earlier half of the film.
I also love that scene. If only kindness could always be so care free and simple. Actually, maybe it can be.
