The movie "La Vie En Rose"

Just finished watching this movie. Indeed, it's quite interesting movie.

The film presents a fractured and largely non-linear series of key events from the life of Édith Piaf. Although scenes often jump back and forth across decades (evoked as flashbacks mostly from within Edith's memories), parts of her childhood take up much of the first part, and the movie ends with her death, and the performance of what is perhaps her signature song, "Non, je ne regrette rien".

After watching, the feeling is kind of complicated and heavy. Maybe the movie indeed is a emotionally complicated one. And the life of Edith Piaf is also indeed a "colorful" one.

Ironically, the reason why I watched this movie is because my phone ringing tone is "La Vie En Rose". And the version of mp3 I have is a so cheerful, lively.

From the bottom my heart, I seem like I can feel what Edith Piaf feels, see what she sees, live what she lives. The feeling is like... I don't know how to put down into words.

Well, simply I would say, what a life of Edith Piaf.
