Again, I was pleasantly surprised by the French director. After watching Angel Amelia and meeting Rose Life again, I feel that the shots are very psychedelic, unique and attractive. The movie is interspersed with shaking, childhood, youth, the end of life flashes back and forth, time is not the clue of the story, the song is. Poverty, setbacks, hardships, sadness, joy, parting, and grimness follow the scenes of the film, and see the life of this legendary female singer. Like watching movies, is to enjoy the process of watching, to see the joys and sorrows of others, the ups and downs to peek into one's own life, there are moments to look up to the achievements of others, and there are also rich and colorful encounters with envy of others. But I feel that I can also change slowly, and the luck is my own struggle.

The movie is more or less beautified, but the real life will never be inferior, it will only be more brilliant, but the movie is more specific and vivid. In my opinion, the characters in the movie are surrounded by a light curtain, with the silhouette of time, charming but also alienated. Clumsy can't describe properly. ?

The most moving thing in the movie is her performance in the concert hall after being instructed by the musicians. From timid to calm to enjoyment, like a bird just learning to fly, she really begins to shine. When she learned that her lover's plane crashed, she struggled and walked to the stage to start her performance. The singing was painful, and the French chanson no longer happily sang the rose life, "Happy time drives away the long night, sorrow and tears. The word "nothing" cannot be sung contagiously, leading people to appreciate the psychedelic Paris. She is knitting sweaters on the beach, and the gentle and soft sunlight shines on her, which makes her very gentle and calm. This is rare. Her life is either a dark tone or a strong feasting, a lively singing scene, and she is very gentle at this moment. Calm, completely inconsistent with her usual perverse, sharp, self-confident and dashing, but I think she is just as charming as she is standing in the music hall and singing. The golden sun is too warm. But what I like the most is the warmth she recalled from the past before her death. The dark picture shows how precious and warm the love and beauty in life are.

"No, no, I have no regrets, I do not regret the good in life, nor the bad in life, everything that happens is the same to me; no, no, I have no regrets , I purge, banish, forget all the past, I laugh at the past; I burn the memories, all my memories, all my sorrows, I no longer need them; With a trembling tone, I forget my loves, often To clean up the past, I'm going to start from the beginning." - In the last part, Marion Cotillard who played Piaf opened her eyes wide and sang aloud, so hard that her facial skin almost spasmed, it was a complete life force , is the limit of the will, the limit of beauty, that the fragile body can reach.

This is her mockery and disdain for her past life. She is about to leave, trampling on the laughter, flattery, admiration, and worship that people have used to her in the past, crushing the pain, humiliation, unbearable, old age, and decadence, at this moment, she is reborn again with singing, a short rebirth , shining brightly.

How many times do I have to watch it???
