Firstly, we have Amelie as a one of a kind child, and then as a one peculiar woman. Both of the characteristics are happening in a film that's different from the rest. These facts indicate that "Amelie" had been intended to stand out from all the movies that had preceded it and in the same time present the viewers with a new concept. People are lead in observing that the movie has had producers that not only think different, but who are accustomed to producing special films which would leave the audience thinking what they were about. Post-modernism touches are present all over the movie from the chain of events in Amelie's life to all the people that have specific 21st century estranged lives.

Jeunet exposes his weakness for perfect images as most of the shots in the movie create a magical world for the viewer with the streets, train station, and cars being clean and flawless. An example of Jeunet's clever thinking is when Amelie indentifies herself with the girl in the Renoir painting.
Amelie observes that, like the girl in the center, she audience might not get too much attention from the audience. The fact that the filmmakers have chosen to highlight Amelie through the high performance cameras captivates the spectators that are sure to be amazed at the filming cliches.

At some point one sees Amelie developing a crush for Nino Quincampoix, which brings more ambiguity to the movie. Surprisingly, Nino is even stranger than Amelie and he shows it as his job and his hobbies are revealed. The fact that Nino works in a porn shop and collects pictures from the garbage near a photo-booth brings more to support the movie as having been done in a post-modernism era in which everything is either new or different and some might say that it's even fashionable to be strange in such an era.
