Amelie

      Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great start to the week; mine started early since I have to wake up at 6! I work until 12:45, then I came home watched Amelie, learned some Italian from my library CD set, finished my latest masterpiece (which I'll show you tomorrow!), and I've been listening to This Side of Paradise by F. Scott Fitzgerald on tape.
      Amelie is officially one of my new favorite movies. Starring Audrey Tautou and made in 2001, IMDb describes the movie thus: "Amelie, an innocent and naive girl in Paris, with her own sense of justice, decides to help those around her and along the way, discovers love."
      

      
       I think I love this movie so much because Amelie is so relatable; I think a lot of people (including me) struggle with taking risks and connecting with other people. In many ways, I feel exactly like Amelie. She goes out of her way to do good for other people and works to clean up other peoples' messy lives, yet she can't clean up her own. I won't spoil what happens, but I highly recommend that you watch it! It's easily one of my new favorite movies, and I could watch it every day.

Carpe Diem,
Brooke
