Scher is following the European (the rest of the world perhaps? I dunno) way of writing the date, day/month/year.
Yes, it is the European format, I think: day/month/year As for the film, it really left me with a smile on my face... And somehow reminded me of "Pan's Labyrinth". The story-telling was similar and also the fact that there were two girls who were trying to survive... I think Audrey Tautau really makes the movie what it is... She was perfectly adorable.
It was the hair I tell ya. Loved her 'do.
Yeah, her hair was so cute; reminded me of Audrey Hepburn in "Roman Holiday" when she suddenly got her hair cute in that Parisan salon. I saw some of the extras on the "Amelie" DVD and they said a lot of people wanted to get their hair cute like hers after that movie came out. I thought the 'do' was perfect for her and for her character. I think her whimsical and cute looks made the film as well. I shouldn't say this but I just wish the French male actors were a bit better looking; they don't have to be gorgeous but I didn't truly fine one in the film that appealing or attractive - did anyone else?
HaHa, now that you mention it Janine, you're right. I can't recall any men in the movie that were even semi attractive. I wonder if that was on purpose or the pickin' are slim over in France?
I think it might be on purpose... Just ordinary people. Apart from Amelie herself, there weren't any women who were particularly good looking either, were there? And I don't think it was only the hair style... Her eyes, smile... She was mischivious, innocent and gorgeous. Did you expect the bald guy to be the technician? I did not. He did look a little scary in the photos so was expecting something creepy but he was much nicer in person.
Now I am not sure who the bald guy was. I think I need a second watching but I took it back to the library...oh well. papayahed, I don't know much about French films but the ones I have seen never seem to have truly attractive men in them. The women are often gorgeous and the men are downright ugly or just plain ok. Scher, I agree though that the author/director wanted her to standout from the crowd. She was as you described. I felt she was something like Audrey Hepburn in this respect - her persona.
