AMELIE - LIFE IN A SNAP
Summary
Amelie’s world view is interrupted by the discovery of a small tin box which is full of a childhood collection of mementos. There is a segment where she takes the hand of a blind man and leads him along the streets of Paris, describing the sights before them. Amelie reminds us not to judge, to see people not as the sum of their frustrations, anxieties and losses but as essentially good dreamers that have lost touch with some or all of their hope about the future. Amelie’s world view enables her to see things differently, to bring the joy to the mundane and to nudge people out of the fog of their own phobias, anxieties and pain. In truth, it is likely to contain few genuinely original ideas, but it may hopefully act as a reminder to each of us that time doesn’t wait.
