Amateur

An amateur (French amateur "lover of", from Old French and ultimately from Latin amatorem nom. amator, "lover") is generally considered a person attached to a particular pursuit, study, or science in a non-professional or unpaid manner. Amateurs often have little or no formal training in their pursuits, and many are autodidacts (self-taught).

    Amateur (film)

    Amateur is a 1994 film written and directed by Hal Hartley starring Isabelle Huppert, Martin Donovan and Elina Löwensohn.

    Title

    The title is also an acronym, encompassing elements of the film

  • Accountancy
  • Murder
  • Amnesia
  • Torture
  • Ecstasy
  • Understanding
  • Redemption

    • Plot

    Donovan plays Thomas, an amnesiac trying to put his life back together, who meets an ex-nun (Huppert) writing pornographic stories. The scenes of overt violence were new territory for Hartley, but the film was still in his usual deadpan and dialogue-driven style.

    Amateur

    by: Nada Surf

    You made me feel like i'm ok, i could be happy
    Now i can sit, not run away stupidly laughing
    Wipe out all self-pity, it's slowing me down
    Turn off feeling pretty, dressing up dressing down.
    I walk around the city out of my way, looking for something
    I've got all that i need to save my day, so why'm i running?
    You said i should get professional help, it always makes me cry.
    I know i'm just an amateur, but i've gotta try.
    I had a birthday party and it was packed, got friends who love me
    We hung a disco ball up and watched the lights, they were so lovely
    When exactly are we? i get the decades mixed up.
    I like the streets when they're empty, i can make the rest up.
    Every day is new year's eve, every night is the last night.
