For such a charming film, it seems to carry a mean-spirited message. If you're shy or introverted, you're apparently living a messed-up life.
sharethe point wasn't that introversion is bad, but that Amélie wasn't happy with her lifestyle, and wanted to make changes and help other dissatisfied people make changes

I agree. She was like a child, poking her nose in other people's buisness. A spoiled brat if you ask me.

She was only trying to spread a little joy, and she didn't hurt anyone except for that one guy that really deserved it. And even then, aside from the moral and legal implications of sneaking into his apartment, none of the things she did were really harmful, just childish prank stuff.
A spoiled brat if you ask me.She'd be welcome to be my next door neighbour any time ...
poking her nose... into my affairs as much as she liked.🐭 share
Exactly my reaction. Someone compared her to "Katherine Hepburn". I think it misses the fact that Hepburn could go from completely over-the-top dramatics and flailing and dancing to the next moment kneeling on the ground whispering dialogue out of a shakespearan tragedy. It was that complete psychedlic schizophrenia that gave her 'charm', while audrey tatuo is the complete opposite and her reserve make her look like a whimpering poodle which has knocked over its saucer of milk. Naivety is predictable and unnatractive!
shareNo, you're missing a fundamental issue. Amelie is not a well-balanced person who happens to be shy: she's been raised without affection or contact, away from other children, without friends and without love. When we first see her as an adult, she is extremely isolated and, by the acts she chooses, she gradually integrates herself with others. She wants to speak to Nino, she doesn't want to be alone or introverted, so she changes. That's the point.
Spoiled brat?! Oh yes, running all over paris to reunite a man with his long-lost childhood memories is so bratty. Spending hours making a letter so that her landlady can be happy, so selfish. I don't understand some people who turn this film into something it's not.
