The heist being the subplot of the film. The idea that the antagonist and the protagonist are the same character.
I think a lot of its qualities go overlooked by people who scoff at it being a complex film. Complex films don't have to be difficult to follow.
EDIT: And going back a page, Amelie is one of my favourite films as well. Just beautiful.

Thank you; I think you get my point. It's not hard for someone to follow, definitely not difficult for a movie buff to follow, but its' being one of the top grossing films of all time and not complete fluff is goddamned admirable.
And I think there's a good chance I could watch Amelie every day of my life for a hundred years, and would never get tired of it.
