As a French surrealist romantic style film, "Angel Amelie" successfully allows the audience to re-feel the poetic realism of France in the 1930s through computer imaging and digital image processing technology, and every frame seems to have a romantic postcard with a strong French atmosphere.
The film tells the story of Emily's unfortunate childhood and innocent and kind heart through the trajectory of Emily's life.
She was mistaken for heart disease by her father from an early age, and has been isolated from the school ever since; then, because of an accident, her mother died suddenly in front of her eyes, and she could only rely on her father for her life. But even so, it still did not change Emily's optimism and open-mindedness about life.

Her parents have strong cleanliness and obsessive-compulsive disorder, and rarely get close to her, and Emily, who has been misdiagnosed by her father for heart disease, has been left alone after dropping out of school and studying with her mother, who is an elementary school teacher.
It is precisely for this reason that her opportunities for contact with the outside world are also very few, often only to play alone, the largest range of activities, that is, to follow her mother to church, praying that she can have a brother soon, so that she will not be too lonely and lonely.
But she did not expect that heaven did not send her a brother, but took her mother in front of her, and from then on she could only follow her father for her life, and after losing her mother, her father would close himself even more, thinking about arranging her mother's grave all day, and had no heart to accompany Emily.
For Emily, her childhood was lonely, with no friends and playmates, and no parents to accompany her, which also created her character of careful contact with people.
She has rented a house alone since she left her father and worked alone, where she has lived for five years, communicating with her landlords with little to no avail, not even knowing who her neighbors are.
She had very little contact with others, and she had prepared herself a small telescope through which she could see what others were doing, but rarely plucked up the courage to ask: What are you doing?
Perhaps, this is the influence of the living environment when she was a child, she has never enjoyed the warmth of the family, and the communication with her father is more like a routine, so she lacks the courage and way to communicate with people.
She went to a coffee shop in Paris to work as a waitress, putting herself in a lively environment, which was actually more like her own desire and pursuit of this environment.
Beneath her unspeakable and cautious exterior, she is filled with a heart that wants to be in contact with people and seek companionship.

When the news broke out that Princess Diana had died unexpectedly, it was not a small shock for Emily, and she watched TV while replacing herself - she died young.
In fact, this is just like us now, obviously living in it, life is still beating, but it is like disappearing, can not live their own wonderful life.
The unexpected death of Princess Diana was mourned by tens of millions of people, but in Emily's heart, she couldn't help but ask herself, is there anyone who came to mourn my death?
So, when she discovered that a little boy's childhood toy was hidden in the bathroom wall tiles, she decided to give the box to its owner—the tenant of this apartment half a century ago—and she began to help everyone around her.
When asking the landlord, she knows the landlord's nostalgia for her husband who betrayed her and left; when she finds the key of the fruit stall owner to return it, she discovers the fierceness of the fruit stall owner towards the Mune guy; the loneliness in the heart of the old man of the glass man who accidentally sees the neighbor who is sick- and so on...
In order to find the owner of the box, she searched almost all the "whiteness maps" in Paris, and after handing the box to the owner, she saw the happy expression on the other party's face and found that it was so happy and satisfied to help others.
Therefore, when she met a blind man on the road, she did not hesitate to help him cross the road, the street, through the crowds, the shops, while telling the blind people about the people and things around him, while taking him to the subway entrance and then turning away, like an angel who came to the world, helped the person and then hurried away, without seeking any return.
After returning home, Emily used her own way to record a video of the disabled participating in the cycling movement and sent it to the glass man neighbor; secretly equipped with the key to the owner of the fruit shop, as soon as she found him bullying the honest guy, she ran to his house to play a prank, and fantasized that she was the hero Zorro who punished evil and promoted good; she cut the words from the newspaper and spliced it into a letter, which was sent to the landlady in the name of the deceased husband...
She did all the good things, even so that her father could stop closing himself off, go out of the house to travel, specially came home and took her father's favorite statue, let a flight attendant take the sculpture to the world, and took pictures to send to her father.
She seems to have shown all the impulses that she had not done before, suppressed in her heart, and this was the real Emily, the optimistic and positive, in her own way, not demanding, just silently changing people, so that they could discover their own needs and take the initiative to change.
In fact, this is also a transformation for Emily, who has changed her previous lonely lifestyle, choosing to contact with the strange outside world and embrace strange people.
For Emily, instead of tirelessly persuading, pack your bags and act now.

Since she began to help others, Emily's otherwise peaceful life has begun to show a different kind of excitement.
On a trip home from the station, Emily inadvertently picks up a photo album album album by Nino, who loves to collect photos, all of which are re-integrated fragments of photos, and one of the people has more than a dozen photos, which can be seen that the owner of the album album is full of curiosity about this person.
Thinking back to Nino, whom she had met at the station again and again, she felt that they were similar, and that their childhoods were equally lonely. She knew this was the man she wanted, from the first moment she saw him.
So, while helping the other party find the mystery, she attracted Nino's attention, and when she quietly returned the album to him, she also left a picture of herself in the album.
She longed for the love of the other person and did not dare to face it, so when Emily hesitated, the people she had helped once came to help her again. The Glassman neighbor sent her a video box telling her to be brave enough to pursue everything she wanted; a colleague helped her pass a note, asked Nino to meet, told Nino all about Emily, and hoped that he could bravely pursue Emily.
So, in the end, after hesitating, Emily finally bravely opened the door and opened the door of her heart. Seeing Nino, who had left but returned, she knew that this was the love she had always wanted.

When watching this movie, I saw a lot of bullet screens: I can't understand it; what does this mean? Wait, a lot of people don't know what Emily is doing and why she's doing it.
But even if many people say they can't understand it, they maintain a high score of 8.7 on Douban. It depicts a group of lonely people who suffer a lot in communicating and communicating with people, whose lives are broken and full of frustration, and this group of people comes from every ordinary person in daily life.
Everyone who is in deep pain, or struggles, or compromises, but they all need someone to help and save, and Emily is such a person.
She may be full of idealization and stylization, she is pointless to give and seek, just to help people in need out of difficulties, you may not understand what she is doing, but she is also like the ordinary world so extraordinary.
