La Vie Rose is a biographical film about the legendary life of French national treasure singer Piaf.
Born in poverty, Piaf was abandoned by her mother in her childhood, raised by her grandmother in a brothel, followed by her father to the circus and sings on the streets. When she grew up, she sang in bars and lived in darkness until she was dug up and became a dazzling female singer on the stage.
However, after Piaf became famous, there were still ups and downs. Her life is suffering, dazzling, distressing, but rich.
The movie uses an interlude. The middle-aged Piaf sings on the stage at the beginning, which makes people tremble, and then switches to childhood, and the little Piaf lives on the street. Throughout the film, childhood, youth, middle age, and old age are interspersed with narratives, and her singing is carried through. Fragments from different periods connect the whole story and reproduce Piaf's rough and legendary life.
Marion Cotillard, who played Piaf in the film, won the 80th Academy Award for Best Actress for her stunning performance.

When I was in French class, the teacher mentioned this movie. I knew it was related to music, but I didn't know anything about it. I just clicked on this movie last week, which had a great impact on my heart.
Shocked, trembling, nervous, fearful , Piaf’s singing penetrated into my heart through the screen, the blood boiled, the scalp was numb, the back was cold, and the heart was bleeding... That feeling was so strong and real.
The Piaf, known as the "Little Sparrow", lost his sight in a brothel and was cured, prayed in the circus at night, sang "Marseilles" in the muddy streets, turned his face with his mother in the restaurant, and was recognized for his performance. Cowardly, hiding in the toilet because of fear of the stage, laughing at celebrations, cursing at people he hates, shy in front of his sweetheart, stubborn after illness, heartbreaking when his lover died unexpectedly, sadness in old age, seaside The calmness and indifference of weaving a scarf, the regret and sigh before death...
Laughing, rowing, yelling, insulting, struggling, resisting, shouting, tears, tenacity, pain, love... Piaf, Piaf, Piaf.
I don't know how to describe the shock in my heart. At this moment, listening to La Vie en Rose over and over again, the pictures from the movie flashed in my mind, and I just felt my heart tremble. Her singing is wild, it is a peaceful struggle, it is France, Paris, you, me, the whole soul and life of a woman.

There is a clip in the movie, the middle-aged Piaf was sitting on the beach and knitting a scarf (her sweetheart once asked her what else to do besides singing, and she said she knew how to knit a scarf), a female reporter interviewed her and gave it to female friends of different ages. , Piaf's answer was "love".
This is a rare calm scene in the movie, Piaf knits a scarf, looks at the sea, and says "love".
The reporter asked again, are you willing to live an ordinary life?
"That's what it is," she said.
The sea is calm and the sun is mild. Piaf's words and laughter are sincere and moving. There is no usual force and noise, only calm and indifference.
If possible, who wouldn't want to be filled with beauty, to be grateful, to bless, and to love? Piaf lacked love since she was a child, and her heart was full of anxiety and fear, so she often showed strength and alertness when she grew up, but she was still a girl, and like all girls, she longed for a warm hug, a beautiful doll, a lover kisses, and the tranquil sea.
After thinking about it like this, she realized how important her lover was to her. Love is beautiful and extravagant. Love can save a person's heart, bring light to the darkness, and let a person let go of all the hardships in the past... After the unexpected death of her beloved, the blow in her heart can be imagined, like Tear yourself, the wound will never heal.
Without love, we are nothing, she said .

Piaf in the movie is so vivid and real, and the real Piaf, her life is more legendary than the movie, she is the "little sparrow" that the whole france misses . countless energy.
Her songs, which are still widely circulated today, are constantly used in movie soundtracks - "Inception", "Bucket List", "Two Little Guess", "Robot Story"... I never thought of those familiar music before. Behind it, there is such a tragic and legendary life.
Piaf's life was full of brilliance, yet it was tragic and heartbreaking. Despite this, she lived out her truth, she lived out her soul, even if she had many regrets, she was still full of legends, and she lived her life in vain.
Before her death, Piaf lay on the bed in the dark night, her life flashed in her mind, with tears in her eyes, she was old, she was old, not only old, but also with a terrible appearance, but in my In her eyes, at this moment, she is still the most beautiful.
She is not perfect, has a weird temper, yells at people, plays pranks, and is even a little paranoid and stubborn... But these can't hide her sincerity and kindness. After watching this film, I can't hide my inner sympathy Yafu's preference, which is full of inclusive preference, can accommodate all her shortcomings.
Piaf, moved me, broke my heart, and admired me. I just hope that there are still songs in heaven that you have poured into your soul.
