I just finished watching it!

It was pretty good, I enjoyed it!

The end of it though was very off, and I missed the frenchness of Celine. No french or accent at all. :(

The girl who portrayed a 12 year old Celine is a VERY GOOD singer

and she sounds so voally developed. I wonder if she is 12 herself. :wub:

 

Other than that I thought this movie was pretty bad sorry.

 

No French-Canadian accents, no look-a-likes,

no French speech or songs except for one. They have the order of events in the wrong

years and things didn't happen a certain way in her real story as is played out in the movie. :pinch:

The could have used somebody who can sing in a higher range and do Celine's mannerisms and body language.

I have seen excellent impersonators who can even speak like her and have everything down. :rolleyes:

 

I hate it when movies get made after somebody living or dead and they screw it up badly.

Celine's dad is not fat and her mom isn't skinny. Celine didn't have her teeth fixed

until she took that 2 year break. Gosh the scenes just skipped ahead through years

of her life in like 3 minutes confusing the crap out of newer Celine fans who don't know all

about her life story.

 

Again, I give credit to the young girl playing Celine even though she looks nothing like her.

She's very talented. :thumbsup2:

 

My rating a D or 4 out of 10.

* December 18, 2008. 1st time ever in front row for a concert and it was with my idol Celine!

Dream #1 accomplished.

 

While singing a ballad the only time Celine looked at me was the time I had my sign up luckily!

She stretched out her arm palm faced up while singing with even more emotion in her eyes when she saw it, so it seemed like it was just for me at that moment.

Dream #2 accomplished with the extra bonus!

 

She came and left on my side. I went out 1 row, held up my sign and she stopped, held it herself,

and just looked at it with an awe expression on her face, stunned and amazed when she saw all the glitter!

She looked me in the eyes with those beautiful brown eyes of hers she was tuned into me at that moment and didn't look away, again her looking so emotional as I said with a sincere look on my face to her "It took me 5 hours to make this." (could have been more not sure)

She looked down and away very touched like maybe she wanted to cry then she HUGGED me!!!

She held me for more than just a moment She really took her time! I said to her while about to cry from the hug, "I love you so much!" Then that was it I don't think she said a word to me.

I was crying and saying omg all night with my heart racing and my mind in SHOCK from the unexpected hug and my eyes so sore from crying. I was ready to drop when I got home, but was so emotional I stayed up until 6:30 a.m.! Cried a little for a few days after. Sign and front row seat saved the day!

Dream #3 accomplished... Me at :13 NOT my video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L62QJoUgN80

I agree with you...I only watched it just to watch it...anything about Celine I'll watch, but yeah, it was totally screwed up with the story line. I could have done a much better movie about Celine than that, and I have no experience in acting or producing or directing....anyone from here could have done a better job. :)

Thanks for telling us about it...I don't think I even wanna watch it now. They could've got their facts straight, involved Celine and Rene, and made a really good movie, but they didn't so I'd rather just re-read My Story, My Dream :P
Posted
Ya...I guess I'm ok with missing it too then. Did they show a love scene with her and Rene...like the first time they kissed/made love in Europe? If the movie doesn't have a really hot love scene between the two of them, then it's not worth it at all. I adore their love story!!!!

Ok, that was bad. I had low expectations to begin with - but wow. :blink: How hard would it have been to get the facts straight? To have events occur in the time frame that they actually happened - in the order they happened? :confused:

 

I suppose it had to be in English, but the only actor that had an accent was the one who played Eddy Marnay! Not one mention of René’s cancer and it's profound effect on not only their relationship, but her career & their having RC - their entire focus was on his heart attack! The actor portraying her dad (whom she calls Papa, not Dad) was totally not the right body type… They did not portray the loving Dion family as Céline has always described it - her sisters loved her and would never tell her that her dreams were impossible, they always believed in her. And her mom (whom she called Maman, not Mom) would never tell her she wasn't pretty! Only one French song in the entire movie?! I realize it was a two hour movie with commercials, but they left important things out, and then shoved everything that happened over the last twenty years into the last ten minutes!! :angry: And she is too young to have a movie made about her life already. Yes, she has accomplished a lot, but she isn't done yet!

 

The only part I actually liked is how they showed Michel's role in her career. (and the actor playing him actual resembled him a little.) And the little girl wasn't a bad singer... the older Céline, I needed the mute button. I just don't understand why they couldn't be specific... for example... Céline kisses René after Eurovision, René runs off, calls her room from downstairs, says, "I'll be the first if you want." She replies, "You'll be the first and the only." Instead they made it all cheesy, "René, I'm 20 - that's old enough, isn't it?" Why'd they do that? :pinch:

 

Sorry, I’ll stop now - it’s just we’ve all heard this story so many times (the correct version), that it almost feels like we were there too - and that was just bad. I understand more than ever why René and Céline didn’t want to be involved with the project.

 

Mark my words, when I become a movie director - I will create a movie that is accurate, with actors that actually can act like and resemble those involved - and Céline’s actual recordings will be used. ^_^

What got me was how some of the smaller details were right, like them flipping the plates over to eat dessert when she was younger, but then they couldn't even portray Rene proposing to Celine correctly, or any other large thing.

Besides the fact that they got the order of events wrong on a LOT of things, what was really disappointing about this movie is that it completely neglects to show what a caring and compassionate person Celine is. There is no essence of her personality, only a wooden shell. And how could they not include her relationship with her niece? Pretty bad all the way around, although I do agree that the little girl who portrayed her as a child did a very nice job considering the lousy script. Celine's website does not even mention this movie, which indicates to me that they did not approve of this bio.

it would be nice if someone would post a link to download it when it becomes available, a torrent maybe...

Um, weird.

I'm going to hire it when it comes out here (sometime this month).

But... I can't get over the fact that (in the trailer) NO ONE seems to have a French accent. That's kind of a huge detail to miss. And... the chick... she's not OUR Céline, she doesn't even look like her. They'd have been better off casting that impersonator from youtube.

 

Buuuuuuuut needless to say it will be interesting and... interesting. I'd love to hear Céline's thoughts on it, being unauthorized and all that jazz, and just how accurate the film is.

 

But still, JUST. SO. WEIRD.

I think it will be interesting to watch but I agree René is a lot more complex than the actor understands and the actress is similar but will NEVER be anywhere near as good as Céline!!!
