Isn't it nice when Amélie helps the blind man? Hannah Thompson doesn't think so. In her insightful (no pun intended) article, she wonders why Amélie doesn't even ask the man where he wants to go. What if he didn't want to be left by the subway station? What if he has no idea where he is and can't ever get home? It's interesting to think about. (Source.)

If your uncle who only speaks in Upworthy posts on Facebook ("a French girl found a mysterious tin in her bathroom and what she does next will leave you smiling") posts a picture of a teddy bear cloud saying it's real, you can prove to him that it's actually a scene from Amélie. In 2006, a screencap from the film was making the rounds as if it were real. (Source.)

The real Café des 2 Moulins wasn't doing too hot financially before Amélie came along and rejuvenated business. The café is now a thriving tourist hotspot. (Source.)

Audrey Tautou can do pretty much anything. She writes in cursive backwards, she peels an apple in one continuous loop in A Very Long Engagement, and she almost makes The Da Vinci Code a decent movie. Almost. But one thing she can't do is skip stones very well. All the stone skipping scenes in Amélie had to be enhanced digitally. (Source.)
