Triplets of Belleville

crossfire · 08-31-2004, 10:41 PM

I have finally found the perfect movie, or one of them. The Triplets of Belleville. The great thing about this movie is that, while it is a French movie, its an 80 minute film filled with animation, sounds, but only two english words at the very end. Besides at the end, NO DIALOGUE OR MONOLOGUE OR CONVERSATION throughout the ENTIRE movie. Meanwhile, the story is exceptional. Some of what I said above is a bit of a lie, there is SOME talk, but its all in French and it does not impair the comprehension of the story at all. There are several times when you hear an announcer talk in French, but what he says is just describing a race, and then, a few scenes of French singing. I hope I didn't give anything away, but this movie MUST BE VIEWED by anyone who enjoys films. Whether or not you like animation, you will LOVE this. It does have references to crude humor such as snot, guns, and breasts, but none of which are explicit, so this is basically a family friendly picture. Minimal violence, minimal sex, NO PROFANITY. The only other warning besides the references is its an incredibly STRANGE movie. But strange in a spectacular way. The last thing is that its a very funny movie, except completely subtle. Bottom line, SEE IT!!!!!!!!!!

I concur. Saw it when it premiered last year and absolutely loved it. It's a fantastic movie for anyone, of all ages.

The most incredible thing about it still is the lack of words spoken. But everything about it rules.

OK--I'll bite: what's it about?

It's about 80 minutes long.

Yeah, I know. My family hates it when I do that, too.

All seriousness aside, imdb is your friend: The Internet Movie Database.

Lots of cool stuff. Love the trivia section.

See, it really is true. You learn something new every day.

I was about to suggest that the word was spelled 'queue', when I looked it up in the online Merriam-Webster. The fourth entry for cue was queue.

But 'queue' is more fun to type.

queue queue queue...

I loved this movie, too. I watched it while waiting for friends to see The last Samurai so I ended up seeing it twice in a row and really got into it the second time - to the point of standing up and dancing to the music. Okay. I was the only one watching it in the multi-plex that afternoon. How sad, come to think of it, that a film this special was seen by so few.

I completely agree, this movie was incredible and its a shame that movies like Hulk got more recognition.
