The Butterfly (2002)

20110527:
Wonderful movie! Great all the way through. I love the contrast between Julien and Elsa.

I love this film about as much as I love Mary and Max (2009). The pacing of this movie feels a little bit faster than the pacing for Mary and Max. It doesn't affect how I feel the movie either way, it's just my observation.

The dialogue spreads itself out perfectly, occurring in various combinations of being witty, personal, and wise.

Perhaps I just love uplifting movies that contain a certain degree of hardship. Other than Mary and Max, I have Little Miss Sunshine (2006) in mind.

If you loved either Mary and Max or Little Miss Sunshine, you should try watching Le papillon.

I told my friend, "I absolutely loved The Butterfly."

So cute. Her riddles at 27 min. "Do you know how Captain Hook died? Scratching his balls." "Where did you learn such talk?"
"Their love hangs by a thread." Haha.
At 38 min, what a beautiful dream.
Great story about animals and man.
