Final Paper Topic

I have been thinking about doing my final paper topic in my women's film class on indie romance films.  I have chosen to link three movies together that have similar themes.  I am going to start out with Garden State and discuss Natalie Portman's "manic pixie dream girl" character, and from there tie in Paris, Je T'Aime,which features Portman in one of the shorts (the movie is a series of short films about finding love in Paris).  From there, I was going to talk about Amelie with Audrey Tautou.  I thought Paris, Je T'Aime would bridge Garden State and Amelie together, since Paris features Natalie Portman along with Garden State and Amelie is a French film like Paris and all three of them sort of deal with the standards of the "dream girl" and finding love in unexpected places, not to mention they all have an indie vibe to them.
