Well, I don't know how much I expected to troll since I've already posted my thoughts on Amelie on this board, but maybe a little.
It was depressing as fuck, because the movie was basically saying, "In order for all this idealistic stuff about love and goodness to be true, we must exaggerate." I don't think they needed to exaggerate. Maybe I'm too idealistic for Amelie.
I do think engaging in hyperbole made it a better film, though.
