Amélie

Amelie, An amazing female character from the french movie Amélie Poulain.(2001.)
I'm just amused by her characteristics in the movie, how amazingly mysterious she was, and how she took pleasure out of the littlest things in life. A magnificent movie; built on a beautiful plot, with a simple yet magical scenes exquisitely wrapped underneath it.It's gonna warm your heart, leave you with an amazing feeling of wanting to better the world. A must watch movie, definitely worth of 5 stars rating.

The movies starts with telling a story, a story of her father and her mother, how they seem so connected in their own specialties, what they like, what they dislike, meaning simple description of a person in a cute way.
Then Amelie comes with her sweet introduction.

" She's in the middle,yet she's outside"  

 Amélie likes "dipping her hand into sacks of grains, cracking crème brulèe with a teaspoon, and skipping stones at St. Martin's Cannel" (Jeunet,2001) It is also noted that she enjoys noticing little details no one else notices and looking back at the faces of people in the theater. Amélie hates "in old movies how drivers don't watch the road" (Jeunet, 2001).






She's different. She likes to create mystery.She catches every little things that even no one usually notices.
She feels good doing good.She gave happiness to  proximately, fifty years old guy, by returning his childhood treasure that he used to keep in her apartment centuries ago.She found it and right then she decided to give it back to its owner right away,and she made it possible.She gave it to the owner without meeting with him and in a mysterious way. I guess that's the sign of a good deed,you hide your credit.you watch how people react, how happy they get because of you.
 Bretodeau, The Box Man: Life's funny. To a kid, time always drags. Suddenly you're fifty. All that's left of your childhood... fits in a rusty little box.
 "Amelie has a strange feeling of absolute harmony. It's a perfect moment. A soft light, a scent in the air, the quiet murmur of the city. A surge of love, an urge to help mankind overcomes her."



 She fixes everything around her.She's gorgeous. She takes revenge too. She has everything going on underneath her smile.

[Amélie has found Nino's photo album and his "lost" posters] Any normal girl would call the number, meet him, return the album and see if her dream is viable. It's called a reality check. The last thing Amélie wants"

 She had a weak heart.But in the end, she dared to be with the guy she loves. and that's a loooong story.
 
 
Hipolito, The Writer: Without you, today's emotions would be the scurf of yesterday's.

"Because nothing makes me happier and nothing makes me sadder than you.”

“If I had a camera," I said, "I'd take a picture of you every day. That way I'd remember how you looked every single day of your life." "I look exactly the same." "No, you don't. You're changing all the time. Every day a tiny bit. If I could, I'd keep a record of it all." "If you're so smart, how did I change today?" "You got a fraction of a millimeter taller, for one thing. Your hair grew a fraction of a millimeter longer. And your breasts grew a fraction of a—" "They did not!" "Yes, they did." "Did NOT." "Did too." "What else, you big pig?" "You got a little happier and also a little sadder." "Meaning they cancel out each other, leaving me exactly the same." "Not at all. The fact that you got a little happier today doesn't change the fact that you also become a little sadder. Every day you become a little more of both, which me...

v day

 I am in luteal phase and everything my husband doing is irritating me.  It is all scientific I know but still everything is so annoying and I just wanted pizza. He ordered biryani.  I wanted to go on a date on valentines day. He brought me flowers, which was sweet but he forgot to book the restaurant and we ended up going costco instead. I just feel like I am wasting my best years on him. Is it normal to feel like that. We are almost 2 years into our married life and I already miss our initial chemistry. I feel like we are being like an old married couple. It shouldn't feel like that, right? I mean, it is still new; we aren't that old yet.  I feel so bored honestly, and disappointed.  Again, this could be because of my luteal phase.  I am sad too.  I wish, he made a little more effort to make me feel special. Make me feel deserving. I wish I didn't dress up to do our groceries on Valentines day.

opposite sides of a coin

Hi B,  I've been sort of busy with the training for the job and have another interview coming tomorrow. I am torn between staying with the current job and switching or keeping both as part times. I don't know, I guess I will have a decision made if the interview goes well. I have been traveling far for the current one and every time I get on the bus or the the train I feel depression kicking in full force. Suddenly I remember home, the comfort of being around my loved ones, the easy life I once had back in Bangladesh. Certainly, there are things that weren't easy but I guess it felt easy because I was more used to it. Transport was rickshaw and didn't even think twice before booking an uber because I always had some money with me. Now I have literally 200 dollars to go by and I have to think twice to even buy a cup of coffee or a piece of bread. I guess with time, I will be able to save up some money. I am glad at least I got to start working. It is still very overwhelm...
