roses bloom only in love

Eddie was sitting on the beach knitting a sweater, and the director pulled a back view with a short shot. At that time, she had just finished an interview with a reporter. The reporter asked her what advice she would give women, and she said she loved it. For girls, it is also love. What about children? Still love. When answering reporters' questions, she characteristically craned her neck, smiled and wrinkled.
It was the first time I saw her standing on the stage to sing formally, with her hands cramped behind her and her head tilted, like a girl. After singing, she smiled shyly and innocently opened her eyes to the applauding crowd below. Did you find that Eddie, who became famous, changed the weird posture of putting his hands behind his back during systematic training, and his eyes were no longer innocently wide, but his head was always turned to one side.
An artist who sings with his head tilted. An artist who cranes his neck when he's curious or happy.
She sang with her soul and overdrawn her feelings too much.
There is only one relationship between Eddie in the movie, that is, with boxer Simon, two French people who sympathize with each other in New York. Love passionately, but can't stay together, because Simon already has a wife and children. I thought this was the most heartbreaking part of this relationship, but the reality was crueler than imagined. Simon died in a plane crash on the plane that came to see her. Eddie walked through the rooms and shouted, looking for the Cartier watch that he remembered before he died—but Simon couldn't put it on anymore. Since then, Eddie can only rely on injections to relieve the huge pain caused by Simon's death.
Years after Simon's death, Eddie decided to receive treatment. At this time, she was emaciated by the pain. She was like an old man in her 40s, hunchbacked, bald, and depressed, but when she heard the song "Non, je ne regrett" ”, I felt that the whole person came to life again, shouting: This is me, this is my life! The lyrics sing: No, nothing means nothing; no, I have no complaints and no regrets. Good or bad, I'm happy to accept it; bad or bad, I don't care.
In fact, she is just a girl who has come through ups and downs and has experienced hardships. The biggest hobby in my life is knitting sweaters, and I look like I have never grown up when I lose my temper.
There are several scenes of Eddie's stage fright in the film. And the few performances she was timid were precisely the most important performances in her life, and they were all huge successes, making her singing career step by step to glory. But once it burst out, it was brilliant.
Back to the scene of being interviewed by the beach, the reporter asked, do you pray? She replied, yes, because I believe in love. I seem to see the ten-year-old her again, standing next to the fire-breathing entertainer, and seeing Santa Teresa who blesses her.
Eddie prayed to Santa Teresa for the third time, hoping to continue to stay in the circus. Santa Teresa did not fulfill her, but let her and her father perform on the street, fulfilling the beginning of her singing.
Not every prayer will come true. God will not favor a person so much, but for Eddie, God still cares for her. Her singing spreads the world, so many people love her, and the sweater she knits also gives so many people warmth.

    It's a good movie, I liked it when I was a kid.

    7/10. If I hadn't heard about the introduction of the good film, I really couldn't understand the childhood part. The director tried to flash back to the various stages of life from the fainting on the Piaf stage, but no one can tell the life of a person. The common problem of biopics is that they do not tell the soul of the characters, and they do not let us go. Into the conflict in her heart, the characters around her are all vague. As for the old songs on display, let alone, they are far from the level that makes me agree and convince me.
