She specifically said Celine didn't ask her to change anything at all - she didn't want to cut or add anything, just confirmed she wanted to keep that scene.

That’s what I was thinking… unless there’s a pre “directors cut” if that makes sense. Things she wanted to included but didn’t for times sake. I wonder what was left out because Amazon gave her the capability to have a documentary that could have been 2 hours or so and yet it’s 102 minutes.

Wow looks like her athletic therapist Terrill Lobo ( the man we’ve seen with her in public as well) is a former therapist for cirque and the Edmonton oilers…. A Canadian based in Vegas. He must make a hefty living being at Celine’s side normally now.

Meh, I think they’re being overly dramatic. I presume those opinions are based solely on having seen the doc. We know Celine has improved since - according to her, Irene, and most importantly Dr Piquet.

Yup, he’s from Alberta. And speaking of which, Go Oilers! (I think I know what Celine and her boys are doing tonight!)

They will soon see this is not the case if we go by Celine’s recent conversations.

I'm actually from Edmonton (though I live in Toronto now) so yes, Go Oilers! Also maybe explains her unexpected appearance at the Oilers game in Vegas. She's got a reason to support them!

Well how about that - a "we're here for the tree" T-shirt to raise funds for SPS research, apparently with the blessing of Celine & team: https://www.instagra...nh6aGoyNmg4Z2cz

Here’s a video of this same interview (about 5 min): https://www.abc.net....-life/104018134

Irene really is covering the globe with these interviews! Here's one from India:
https://www.news18.c...-i-8943411.html

Notable excerpts (I wonder where we laughed in what she thought was a serious moment?):

“Revisiting the premiere night, the director said that it was a ‘jarring’ experience. “First of all, I have never made a film about a big global superstar. I have never done that before so to be in a room with, I am going to guess maybe 30 to 40 percent of the people in the room were fans, it was very jarring and it wasn’t just ‘Oh, they love the movie’ because I hear everyone clapping every time she sings. It wasn’t that. People laughed when I thought it was a serious moment because they were so giddy with happiness to see Celine revealing herself and they were just so happy to get the authentic Celine,” the filmmaker confessed.
“I felt like at times, I was in a Celine concert with all these people. I have never seen Celine in concert so I felt like the New York premiere was the closest thing I ever got to be at a Celine Dion concert. I could hear every time the audience got revved up when the music started. We don’t put a lot of Celine music in the film but the response was really interesting. I have never had that experience before. I love watching my films with the audience, it’s really good feedback. It’s not just that it makes me feel good. It’s really more like where I fit in the pantheon of emotions and responses,” she added.
[…]
“I think the biggest challenge, on a human level, was watching what Celine was going through. In the last few years, she has not only been alone in her home with her children, I think there has been loneliness. We can be alone but not feel lonely. I think she really did feel a loneliness.
“Because she had been given so much love from her fans, and when she performs, she likes to perform with them, and she had lost her husband, she was several years out as a widow. So I think on a human level, that was hard for me because I really felt for her and I think as a filmmaker, I didn’t want to be cold but I wanted to always remain in my head and my heart.”

With them listing her French music, I was surprised they didn’t list S’il Suffisait D’aimer. Unless I missed it?

[scielle]

And here's another one with Irene, from Ireland: https://www.irishnew...DFXFK3TEEVUHHU/

Excepts below. It's wild to me that even after having such a harrowing episode, Celine had it in her to worry about how others were impacted by it. Who amongst us would realistically react that way? Putting in spoiler tags because not sure at this point how much of this is known.

Spoiler

““After the episode occurred, and she sang that beautiful song, she left in very high spirits. Believe it or not, she left that location in very high spirits. And she was actually taking care of me.
“She squeezed my hand and she was just about to drive away in the car, she reached her hand out the window. And she said, ‘Don’t worry about what happened’.
“And I think that was her way of saying, if you filmed that you can you know, it’s OK. It’s OK. I don’t know what it looked like. And I thought, yeah, but she doesn’t know what it looks like. Like… she was only semi-conscious. So ultimately, I did edit it into the film.
“And what you see in this final film is exactly what I showed her the first time. She didn’t want me to change it at all.”
When asked why she thinks Dion grabbed her hand, she replied saying she thought she was “hiding” her emotions.
“In that moment when she reached out and grabbed my hand,” she said. “Maybe I was showing how upset I was, but I was so relieved that she was OK.
“But I was also inspired because she sang and she performed and I had never seen her in concert.
“And I was like this is what it must be like to see Celine in concert.
“Because I was like so overcome with, you know, this like ‘Hell yeah’, like (I felt) emotion (on) me. You know, when she did all of her Celine Dion things, her mannerisms, and so, I really appreciated that.””

Anyone noticed that in the latest video shared by Amazon

She says "My voice WAS the conducter of my life"

While in the original trailer https://www.instagra...G96enFib2xtNQ==

She says "My voice IS the conducter of my life"

Or is it my ears?

That's what I tend to think but that's what the media is relying. Again in the TV news on France Info this morning they were chatting (positively) about the doc and the girl said: you won't be able to hear her voice like before anymore as she lost her instrument but maybe in a different manner.

True or not I love so much her voice, I could speak about her instrument and the way she uses it for hours, that's truly what mesmerize me. I'm not ready to hear or even grief that. And if not true that pisses me off a bit that Celine and her team let spread that she lost it.

[jmiracle]

The doc is available on prime France !

[mirage]

It's out in The Netherlands!

To everyone getting ready to watch today, WE ARE TEAM CELINE. Not that other crowd. We are it. Literally for 30 years I have watched and listened and loved this woman and this forum has been the place where it all bubbles and boils and sometimes gets nasty and downright ridiculous, but always in the end, we are her Team. Enjoy the movie everyone. I am emotional thinking of you all watching. I’ll watch again tonight with wine after work 🌳🍎

Usually, they dubbed the trailers and in the trailer you can’t even see her saying “was” or “is”. Yeah! It happens. Even in horror trailers the screams are more better in trailer than on the film because it was dubbed

It’s now available in Prime Video but why it’s not in the “what’s new” banner? You need to type in order for you to know that’s it’s available?

I also got an impression that the SPS revealing was dubbed. I don’t know, it sounds a bit different in the documentary.

[comingback]

I will watch it tonight, but I'm not sure if I am ready to see her like this.

[Only one celine]

Just finished to watch the doc
Here's my first reaction


My thoughts after : It reinforced my belief that there is no GOD. I used to be a strong believer and the god I believed in can not be that vengeful and cruel. Celine was (and hopefully still is) "god's" best ambassador, she was singing love, joy, peace, compassion, acceptance (etc...) all around the world.

[george_matei]

Oh, gosh. I am totally out of words. The final scene was horrible to be seen for me. Also, the John Farnham was not thal long as I expected, but totally uncecessary. Also, the final is so Celine, so powerful. Such an amazing film!
