“On the evening of a bright day in July, while holiday-makers enjoy themselves on the beach in the carefreeness of the sunny days and while in Paris, the strollers, overcome by the heat gaze at the trails of smoke of the fireworks, Amélie Poulain, also known as “the godmother of the rejected”, or “the madonna of the cast-offs” succumbs to exhaustion. In the streets of Paris, struck with grief, millions of mourning anonyms gather for the funeral cortège to show in silence their great sorrow of being forever orphans. What a strange fate, that of this young woman deprived of herself, yet so sensitive to the charm of the little things in life. Like Don Quichotte, she was determined to grapple the unforgiving grinder of all the human sorrows.”.

I am in control because I know things that you don’t know. Now I need you to make a commitment: you will listen carefully and not judge me until I finish.

From Pirates of the Caribbean – The Curse of the First Moon (2003), directed by Gore Verbinski:
