"Even artichokes have hearts."

Amélie is one of my favorite foreign films. It is a movie I watch to get myself out of any bad mood. The main character, Amélie, just has a certain charm about her.

Somehow, she consumes you.

Amélie is always inside of her own head, and the movies takes you through her imagination and thoughts. She has a way of showing you that the simple things in life can sometimes be magical, like skipping stones or helping out a stranger. She takes you on an adventure of playing silly games with a man she would fall in love with. All this in the setting of Paris, France. It is a beautiful film that I know I could never forget even if I wanted to.
