"La Vie En Rose"



I watched the movie "La Vie En Rose". It is a French movie about a French singer, Edith Piaf. "La Vie En Rose" is English title and its original title is "La Môme".I didn't know anything about Edith Piaf until I decided to watch this movie. According to wekipedia, Edith is one of the greatest singers in France. She was born in 1915 and died at age of 47. She died of lever cancer.
The movie is about her whole life from birth to death. I thought her life was absolutely unbelievable. So many drama happened in her life. Very early in the movie, she was abandoned by her own mother and raised by prostitutes until she was about 4. And then her father is back from war and comes to pick her up. She didn't want to leave the prostitutes but her father took her away. She started to spend her life with the circus her father belongs to. But her father had a quarrel with other circus members and left the circus with Edith. He still kept performing on the street and Edith sang to helped her father. Audience liked her song and that's when she started to sing. She grew up and became a professinal singer, but she wasn't happry all the time. She once fell in love with a married guy and lost him by airplane accident. She was drug addict and on rehabilitation so many times.

I thought she was a very interesting person. And the performance of the actress was amazing. It was very powerful and touching. Her name is Marion Contillard. She’s a French actress. She is actually young. She looks like she's in her 20s but she looked very old in the movie. I thought the movie was really good. I recommend other people watch this too.
