The movie Amelie, directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, uses mise-en scene which in French means “having a good frame”. This is unmistakably obvious right through Amelie.

The director refers back to the theme of skipping rocks in and out of various scenes. Everywhere Amelie goes she picks rocks up and places them in her pocket, to skip later. In the appointed sequence when Amelie goes to visit her father she collects another. In the sequence mise-en scene illustrates the beauty of this film without employing dialogue. Through the use of figure movement, behavior and lighting this sequence gives us an eerie magical feel.…

Primarily through the character of Jane, it also accents the cracks in this system, the places where class differences were melding in Victorian England. For example, the novel questions the role of the governess: Should she be considered upper class, based on her superior education, or lower class, because of her servant-status within the family? What happens when relationships develop between people of different classes, such as Rochester and Jane? Insomniac…
