Amélie

Posted: Nov 7, 2009 Sat 02:23 am     Views: 118    Interacts: 6

I'd watched this French movie with subs a few years back. It was nice. It was funny when the narrator says:

Amélie still seeks solitude. She amuses herself with silly questions about the world below, such as "How many people are having an orgasm right now?"

It was like the narrator read my thoughts! ROGL :D

The music piece (orchestra version) from this movie is damn good! Seems out of this world!

opium: Yes!!! I had not searched diligently enough on YouTube and was beginning to think I had imagined this. Thank you. :)

Perhaps it isn't the "original" as I said earlier but it is my favorite version. Now I shall be humming this for days!

My apologies, I recalled the valse having the accordion but that actually may have been in another part of the soundtrack.

This is one of my favorite movies!!!

I love the orchestra version, but I have to say my heart is still with the original, this feels incomplete without the accordion. But this theme, it stays with you a while doesn't it? I remember humming this for days after watching Amelie the first time.
