Amelie

The Director uses speed of the film to help reinforce the theme of magical realism. The speed of this bike seen -is used to represent the emotion the characters feelings. It represents the "rush" of ther love and how they feel like it is whizzing by them.

Amelie's house and bedroom very much reflect her personality and character. The room is full of red and orange shades. This color combo strongly represents her loving emotion at the time. Her home is very much a visual representation of who she is as a person and what she is feeling.

The Director seems to heavely use flashbacks with the voice of a narrator. It allows us to see what we could not normally see if it were just a first person narrative. The audience becomes informed on what all these toys and posseions mean to his childhood. The audience gets to understand what he is feeling and why he is feeling it.

Both of these shots involve the world around to seeming to be alive and knowledgeable about Amelie's life and character. The fact that a teddy bear becomes unveiled in the sky really reinforces her childish and innocent personality. Amelie's paintings also come alive and talk to each other about her life. They seem to be an extension of Amelie's imagination and also help tell the story from a more omnipresent view to help explain what she is feeling to the audience.
