I went 20 minutes late, I didn't watch the opening of the movie, and I watched it in a daze for nearly 40 minutes. I seldom watch French movies all the time. The stream of consciousness thing is not everyone's favorite, especially the French literary films, which are very boring. I remember that I really liked the article on "Two Little No Guess" on Gerbera. My strong curiosity drove me to find out the movie and watch it. As a result, halfway through, I started to doze off. The movie is far less beautiful than the text.
When she first stood in the street and sang in the movie, her clean voice was astonishing. This little girl who has been living by prayer seems to have found something she likes for the first time. The camera changes, time goes by, and the little girl of the year has become a street girl and the lead singer of the bar. Poor, but still as clean and lively as ever.
To become famous, to grow, and to break out of a cocoon into a butterfly, you must go through labor pains before you can spread your wings. I think that when she went through rigorous training, went through the inner struggles before singing, and finally stood on the stage and sang emotionally, she finally realized that singing is no longer a tool for making money. As her mother said, That is art.
I think it was at this moment that I fell in love with her. I always feel that she is rude, neurotic, without temperament, and even from an oriental aesthetic point of view, she is not beautiful. I remembered a little white article on the Internet that I was chasing recently. The heroine Xia Xiaohua, the upstart, was the same rude, the same tacky, the same no temperament, no beauty, all day long in my mind I was thinking about how to fish and meat the male lead. But such a person who seems to have nothing but money can make 8 beautiful assistants who love money follow her with all her might, make men who don't love her fall in love with her, and make the eccentric father-in-law use more eccentric ways. Loving her can make countless readers like her, why? Like now I'm asking myself, why did I suddenly fall in love with this neurotic French woman?
There are two clips in the movie. One is when a soldier who joined the army came to send her a song she wrote. She didn't listen to it. Yes, she is a star. The sentence "I'm going to the front line tomorrow" she decided to listen to the song the soldier wrote to her, and quickly said, "I like it, I want it" simply and neatly. She is kind and fulfilled the wish of a person who has no future. There is also a scene where they are driving in the US and she drives away the moment a friend (or assistant) gets out of the car and crashes into a tree so quickly that she can't drive. But no one was angry, no one blamed, everyone was laughing and laughing in front of the car, breathless. Vulgar, tacky, neurotic, no temperament, no beauty, but these can't hide the kindness in her heart, her vitality. She lived so free, dazzling and colorful, full of vigor. She has never lived in the upper class, so there is no red tape, no hypocrisy, more simplicity and truth, this kind of happiness infects everyone around her. That's why I like her.
I have an actor I like very much, and a famous host commented on this actor: "Other people are fighting for acting skills, but he is fighting for his life. Acting like this is very harmful to the body!" She also died young. A person, whether it is severe arthritis, just discharged from a car accident, or fainted on the stage, she shouts hoarsely: "I want to go back to the stage, I want to sing!" Stubborn, never compromise. Singing is her life, and without it, her life would quickly wither. She never thought her body was too bad to sing anymore, she was always confident and she loved that stage. So when she came out of the room, she sat down tremblingly and said, "I don't sing Olympia anymore." My heart suddenly cooled, she gave up, there is nothing in the world more terrible than self-giving up . It seemed that her body was really dying, and she finally stopped escaping this fact. Suddenly I feel very sad, this person who loves singing to the bottom of his heart no longer sings, does her heart also die with this sentence?
Roses, should they also wither?
Fortunately, no, when she excitedly said that this song is me, it's me, I want to sing Olympia! I seem to see the little girl who was standing in the middle of the street singing again. The meaning of life is undoubtedly revealed at this moment.
The longest life of a rose is only 15 days. In the past 27 years, she has lived as beautifully as a rose, but it will inevitably wither silently.
Taiwanese writer Roland once wrote in his essay "Summer Suite": "Summer flowers are different from spring flowers. Summer flowers have strong vitality. If it is said that spring flowers bloom because of the comfort of the wind, then summer flowers are due to The sun is inspired." It is said that "life is like summer flowers" precisely because summer flowers have brilliant and prosperous life, they bloom in the season when the sun is fullest, such as galloping, jumping, and flying spirits of life, in order to interpret life of splendor.
Of course, another meaning of "life like summer flowers" may be to reveal the short rush of life.
Tagore has a poem: "Let life be as gorgeous as summer flowers, and death as quiet and beautiful as autumn leaves." On the day that beautiful roses also wither.
Born like summer flowers, Edith Piaf.
