DSED #1: Audrey Tautou Movies

I used my meager skills to make this DSED box. It's truly pathetic, but I got to use up the spray paint I had left over from making my Pocky costume, so it was worth it.

Feeling a lot like Effie Trinket from the Hunger Games, I stuck my hand in the box this morning and pulled out this slip:

Do you like my grammar there? Yeah, me neither. Not sure how that happened. Anyway, Audrey Tautou is my favorite actress. She's French but she's been in a few English movies. I watched 3 of her movies today, which doesn't sound like a lot, but I have trouble focusing (the doctors call it AD-something?? I don't know, I wasn't paying attention...).

The first movie I watched was Amelie. It was also the first Audrey Tautou movie I saw and by far her most famous. It was delightful to watch again and made me giggle like a middle-schooler.

The second movie was Beautiful Lies. It's the first one I've seen where Audrey isn't an instantly lovable character. She was kind of harsh and manipulative. I like the way the father describes her character: (and this is a paraphrase) "Emilie is kind and loving, but she'll break your legs to get you to dance the way she wants." Ouch, haha.

The third movie was A Very Long Engagement. It's by the same director as Amelie, and I started watching it years ago but got confused and quit. It was very gruesome and intricately detailed. I'm not sure I picked up half of what was going on, but it made me cry actual tears, which hasn't happened since I saw Tangled.

So there we go! Day One is completed. I can't wait to wake up tomorrow!!
