When comparing international film that is modern like The Artist and Amelie.  A lot of similarities can be seen with the films from years past.  In these films the leads aren't really Hollywood and neither are the  stories. The characters are somewhat unconventional and   quirky though not in the Hollywood wacky way. Their idiosyncrasy are much more genuine and subtle. I think these films have a lot of play on realism compared to the one American film we watched.  Though 12 angry men isn't conventional Hollywood.   I think there's an interesting conversation to be had on the individual and adulthood when it concerns these films.

How 12 Angry men is mundane and strict adult hierarchies and something like Amelie is more playful same could be said for the Artist.
