amelie on arts central

now i really know why they call this movie a phenomena. very beautiful story...

summary:
amelie leads a friendless life with her father alone after her mom died, becomes a waitress when she was 23. finds a box in a secret compartment in her house belonging to a boy whos ard 50 years old already containing little objects frm his childhood in it. she returns it anonymously and experiences the pure emotion of "touched".
so she starts to do stuff that changes everyone's life ard her.
she notices a man whos always at self photo-taking machines trying to find bits and pieces of discarded freak photos and collect them. he drops his book while running and amelie picks it up.
so yeah she starts on this almost reality-wise impossible mysterious hide-and-seeks with the guy all over the area where they live, even asking him to come over to the cafe where she works in but she just cant pick up her courage to reveal herself to him.
when she learnt through miscommunications in her cafe that one of the other waitress likes the guy too, her heart really broke, but the guy was bent on finding amelie, and so he does, right at her doorstep!

its too beautiful a story, i was holding my breath when i thought the ending would be bad but it proved otherwise! sweet romantic comedy that stirs your imagination, creativity, the good side of you, and your love for others!
