Raymond: So that’s the one, there, the guy who raises his hand?
Amélie: Yes.
Raymond: Is she in love with him?
Amélie: Yes.
Raymond: The time has come for her to take some real risks.
Amélie: Well yes, she’s thinking about it. She’s thinking of a stratagem.
Raymond: Yes, she likes stratagems, doesn’t she?
Amélie: Yes.
Raymond: She’s a bit of a coward. That’s why I have trouble with painting her eyes.
I just finished seeing Amélie. And I don’t think I’ll ever be the same again.
I’ve wasted my time on silly things and never on the things that matter.
And I’ve lost all of my chances, all the ones life’s given me.
I’ve been too insecure, introverted, and stupid. Don’t get me wrong, I love being introverted.
But sometimes, I have to risk myself a little more.
I feel like a movie eight years old, was made exactly for me.
But there’s one quote by Raymond, the artist with glass bones, that I still can’t get off my mind.
‘You mean she would rather imagine herself relating to an absent person than build relationships with those around her? ‘
I think that’s exactly what I’ve wasted my time on. But is it so wrong of me to think that those around me don’t deserve my trust?
I don’t think I’m better, I’m just not like them.
But then again, I find myself coming home to find nothing. Just emptiness.
I know there’s no one online to want to talk to me. I know my mother is busy and everyone has a life of their own.
It’s my fault I’m not in any of theirs, I’ve chosen not to be. But now it’s late and I’m tired of waiting for something to stir in the water.
I know nothing ever does for people like me anymore. You have to be famous to be remembered, or talked to.
No one ever has interest in a person hiding in the shadows. In a person that no one ever knows.
Only an ‘Amélie’ of life would. I wish that one day I met someone like that. A person that would lead me through the dark alley and into the light.
I’m starting to think that what Suzanne said was true.
Old Man at the Two Windmills: Still, true love does exist.
Suzanne: I know. After 30 years behind a bar, I’m an expert. I’ll even give you the recipe. Take two regulars, mix them together and let them stew. It never fails.
Nino: Since when?
Man in photo: Since always.
Man in photo: In your dreams.
But anyways, watch the movie. She really will change your life.
