The René Angélil legacy

[Kristinaz]

Unfortunately I do not have the full wake but tomorrow I'll try and piece together something from the clips we do have.

[Modesta]

I can't stop listening to Trois heures vingt.

 

I listen to it and the image of Céline and the family walking into the church comes into my mind

 

I can't listen to the song because I cry, but I've got it playing in my head many many times a day and with that comes that image you described, them entering the church.

 

I feel I'm such a bad person, but seriously, I've cried over Rene's death much more than I cried over my grandparents'. I did love them, but it kinda felt it was time, you know? With Rene, it's different. It's so hard to accept that he's gone. Their kids are so young, and Celine... I know she'll be fine, she's strong. But things are never going to be the same.

I was searching for "Celine Dion program" on eBay, looking for an AND program, and this is what I found.

Made me upset. People making money on someone's death and someone's sorrow. People have no respect.

I know. I saw one yesterday I think. Maybe it's the same one. Not something I'd like to own. Only if I'd been there in person to receive one.

Totally agree with you.

(Random thought) Anyone else made the connection that these words from René's funeral program come from the book "Celine Dion: My Story, My Dream" ? I knew I had read these before but I didn't remember.

 

"Rene thought he was going to die. He was crying as he talked to me about his children and his mother. "You, Celine, you've got to keep going. Whatever happens, even if I'm not there, you have to keep going on." And he named all the people he trusted and with whom I should work when he was gone. I begged him to keep quiet, I swore to him that he wouldn't die, that I had far less interest in my career than I did in him. [...] "Even if I died, I'd want you to go on. If I died and you had stopped like that, just when you were going full speed ahead, I would have died a second time." I understood that he was very serious, and understood that in a way my career was his masterpiece, his song, his symphony. The idea of it remaining unfinished would have hurt him terribly. I understood that if he ever disappeared, I had to continue without him—for him. But for me all my success would lose its meaning if Rene were no longer there to see and know it, to tell me about it from day to day. I needed his commentaries, his voice, his glance, his admiration, and his love.

[Angel2006]

Reading the end of that quote breaks my heart. That all her success would lose its meaning if Rene were no longer there to see it. I know those words were written years ago, but she must still feel this way today.

 

I wonder if she truly even wants to came back at all or if she's just doing it to please the public and to carry on Rene's wishes?

 

Celine even said something at the very beginning of her speech to Rene at his Celebration of life. I can't remember her exact words but she said something along the lines of, Being back at Caesars usually comforts her, but that she didn't know how she felt about it now and didn't know how strong she would be.

 

Hearing her say those things made me sad and worried for the stress coming back is putting on her. Having to come back so soon, when she doesn't even know how she feels yet makes me feel guilty in a way. Guilty that she feels she has to do this to please us. I am also wondering if she will ever truly enjoy herself onstage again?

 

It's never going to feel the same now that Rene is gone. I can't imagine the future right now. Seeing that quote and hearing her speak at Rene's celebration of life makes me wonder how she will move on in her future. It's all so uncertain, sad and frightening right now. I hate that Celine's perfect fairy tale story in now tainted with deep sadness.

 

I am trying not to think these thought, I really am, but it's so hard not to think this way. I can't imagine Celine ever moving past this or ever being the same person again. It's so hard to imagine the future. It's just so sad. It's like Cinderella without her Prince or Jasmine without Aladen. I know that might sound cheesy, but it's true. Celine and Rene were the ultimate love story, the fairy tale of all fairy tale's. That's what makes this so sad .

I've been thinking about that today too. Makes me feel guilty myself.Especially after hearing ET say that Celine personally told them last night that she will be back on the 23rd. Personally I don't think she's ready and I think she's doing it for Rene. My mom though thinks that while it may be true in the long run it will help her. Getting back to a routine that she knows well will help her and will be better then spending all day at home. I understand what she means in that sense. I've had alot of my own issues through the years (i'd rather not go into it right now) but when I'm alone at home or in a quiet area or even at night is when my mind goes into overdrive. When I'm outside or with friends or just occupied with something else these thoughts don't even enter into my head. Though tbh everywhere Celine turns whether it be her house or Caesars she's gonna see or think of Rene unfortunately.

I think children changed her perspective. If they hadn't had kids I think we'd have seen a different celine these past few weeks.

As for her saying she's not sure how strong she is. Well when you go through a massive bereavement you don't know how strong you are, or what you are able to do/cope with until you have to do it. Celine will find out whether she can do this next run of shows when that time comes. Some days you feel quite strong, other days you don't even feel like your legs can carry you.

I just hope if and when Celine is back on stage she keeps well. Remembering when she lost her dad, she kept getting sick on and off for months. I just want her to be well, shows or no shows.

Let's hope the next week or so she stays at home before any rehearsals etc begin.

When Celine's dad died, I think Celine kept getting sick on and off for months mainly because her concert schedule was too heavy.

True AND was just gruelling! Celine, with around 70 shows a year, leaves Céline with more time off and time to do side projects like the French tour. That was unthinkable with AND.

[joaofilho]

René has always been concerned with Celine, and that concern him in his last days of life proves how much he loved her and shows that this world of stars is full of falsehood. He said people he trusted, I think the career Celine is entering a different phase now, without René, he had contact with many important people in the music, it was he who made the contacts. Let's hope everything works out for Celine.

[jeremimi]

love that celine has been so strong publicly. i dont think i could have handled myself so well

[Kristinaz]

So I've been sick the past few days so I'm taking a while to do this montage video of the wake/visitation. Anyways in the midst of trying to find good clips I ran across this post. What do we think it sounds as though she may have the full wake. Though by service does she mean the funeral or the visitation because she posted various clips some from the visitation and some from the funeral itself. Just wanted someone else's input cause I didn't want to ask and then make myself look silly if what she was referring to was just the funeral itself.

I'm reading this book about how what we eat affects our health, specifically what causes cancer to develop. It's T. Colin Campbell's The China Study: The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted And the Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss, And Long-term Health.

 

I'm at the part where Campbell talks about the meat preservative sodium nitrite and how animal testing has shown that the rats that have been given higher levels of this cancer-causing preservative used in meat all of them have died from throat cancer.

 

I can't help but link Rene-Charles mentioning in his eulogy how he enjoyed smoked meat with Rene and the fact that Rene died from throat cancer. I wish Rene and Celine have read this book before anything happened. The more you know...

 

That aside, I'm really impressed with how Rene organized every detail of his memorial service, just like he organized Celine's career. Also impressed with Celine and how she handled herself during these awful times for her. I'll never regret having been her fan, she's just a good person, fit for a role model to anyone (unlike so many other artists who are a mess in real life).

That's what I thought when RC mentioned smoked meats.

[CELINE MARIE]

Has Angelina Jolie reached out to a grieving Celine Dion only a few weeks after Rene Angelil’s death? Does Jolie want to produce and star in a Dion-Angelil biopic? Celine and Rene’s life story is captivating and sources supposedly revealed recently to OK! that Angelina’s greatest wish is to bring that memoir of great love and international success to the big screen.

Angie reportedly believes that she is the perfect actress to portray Celine.

An alleged insider divulged that Angie is fascinated by Dion’s “rags-to-riches journey” and finds it incredibly inspiring yet heartbreaking at the same time.

Angelina is purportedly anxious to meet with Celine to hear what some have called the greatest love story ever. But for now, Jolie is reportedly putting out feelers and letting “the right people” know she’s interested.

Angelina knows that now isn’t the right time to approach Celine who lost both her husband and brother Daniel Dion just two days apart.

This could be Angie’s next passion project – Jolie lost her mother Marcheline Bertrand to breast cancer in 2007. At the very least Angelina could become Celine’s confidante throughout the grieving process.

In the past two years Angelina Jolie herself has undergone a preventative double mastectomy and removal of her ovaries and fallopian tubes.

Rene Angelil discovered Celine Dion when she was just 12-years-old. The music mogul took the preteen French-Canadian girl, one of 14 children, and made her a star.

Rene focused all his attention on Celine and the “My Heart Will Go On” singer became an international superstar. Angelil was the great love of Celine’s life and friends, family and fans wonder if the mega-talented mother of three will ever love be able to love again.

This is reportedly the story Angelina Jolie wants to bring to the big screen with herself as the star. But could Angie pull off Celine’s iconic voice? Even with vocal lessons it would take years for Jolie to even have a fraction of Celine Dion’s talent. Most likely Angie would lip-synch any songs included in the movie.

Would Angie cast hubby Brad Pitt as Rene Angelil? After the disastrous flop “By The Sea” Pitt may never want to work with Angelina ever again.

Let us know what you think in the comments section below and come back to CDL for the latest news on Celine Dion.

I dont think Angelina would be good to play Celine- They no way look alike !!! and can Angelina even sing.

I want one. But only if it's gonna be done properly with acceptation of Celine

[celine4evauk]

If it was done properly, no mistakes and using Celine's songs and voice, then it could be great.

Bit like Tina's What's Love Got To Do With It.

Well, one of the sleazy tabloids made this up about a week ago and all sorts of others have now picked it up. But even in the absence of the debunking article published since, it's hard to give this any credence.

 

While the story is undoubtedly biopic-worthy, I think anyone with legit intentions knows now is not the time. Just way too premature for a proper treatment. There's plenty more to this story yet to come and doing something now would effectively cut it off at the knees. Mind you, I've worked in film finance long enough to know that a) it takes years to develop a feature, and b ) 99% of projects in development never make it to production. So there's that.

 

Also, if/ when a biopic is made, it really should be a bilingual one. Maybe not necessarily the dialogue - for the benefit of wider worldwide distribution if nothing else - but none of this Lifetime Dion-kids-singing-American-country nonsense! And really, it shouldn't be someone like Angie making it. It's got to be someone who really understands the Quebecois angle - I mean, that's absolutely essential to the Celine & Rene story and I think that would be near impossible to capture for someone who does not peak French nor understand the underlying cultural fabric. I mean, just look how perplexed the wider world was about the scale of Rene's funeral, whereas in Quebec it was largely understood that he was due an iconic send-off. Unless you 'get' Quebec, you could never properly capture what Celine & Rene mean there.

 

The one person who really should be handling this, in the current filmmaking milieu at least, is Xavier Dolan. We know he appreciates Celine and seeing as he's a 20-something Montrealer he literally grew up surrounded by her and her story. He gets it and could really do it justice. And he would come up with an artistic, quality product. Plus he's a hot commodity right now.

 

That, and whoever is cast should really be able to pull this off in English and French - though certainly not the singing, because let's face it, that would be too much to ask of almost any actress! Someone like Jessica Paré, maybe? I only say this because she can do both English and Quebecois beautifully and already had a viral-video moment with her performance of Zou Bisou Bisou on Mad Men. Either way, certainly not Angie. (Though lending her star power to producing it certainly wouldn't hurt!)

 

Anyway, all this being said, if tabloids think it's worthwhile to make up and disseminate this story, then maybe, just maybe there's enough public interest for a film treatment, and I can't say I'm disappointed by that!

[smash]

I really hope this does not happen, this movie thing. I can't and hope Celine does not agree to something like this. Celine has way too much respect for Rene, for their marriage, and the illness , their love for each other, their children. The whole world can watch the final couple of days of Rene's funeral. Who could possibly act Celine's part, and then letting Celine allow another actor to play Rene's life. Can't see Celine ever allow that, never. Everybody knows their love story, and it is way to special, to let it be made into a movie. I'm sorry, to me it is disrespectful for someone to even think of asking Celine this. No one, no one, can take their place. I know it would only be a movie, Celine and Rene, no no no It would be an insult......

Food plays a huge part in your overall health. I have heard that some food combinations can have similar effects as certain medications can give. I have also heard that certain food combinations together can help reverse the effects of memory loss with dementia patients and help in preventing and reversing other diseases aswell.

 

I was thinking the same thing as you wrote. We kind of know somewhat what Rene liked to eat and we know he liked to eat alot of foods at a time. It's part of his culture to eat that way. It's how he grew up eating. Aside from food and his weight, Rene lived a very healthy lifestyle.

 

As far as we know, he didn't drink alcohol, he didn't smoke, he drank lots of water. Rene lived a really clean life. It really makes you think that it had to be what he ate. I know that your family genes plays a tremendous role on your health though.

 

I don't know if cancer was in Rene's family, but I believe Rene's dad passed away when Rene was in his early 20's. I think his father passed from a heart attack though? Rene himself also had a heart attack at 50, so your family genes is really like a road map to you future health.

 

People say that ever if you eat right and look after yourself, it's all in the genes. I strongly believe that food can help in reversing the outcome of those genes though.

So sorry to hear this sad news, taken to early.

I can't listen to the song because I cry, but I've got it playing in my head many many times a day and with that comes that image you described, them entering the church.

 

I feel I'm such a bad person, but seriously, I've cried over Rene's death much more than I cried over my grandparents'. I did love them, but it kinda felt it was time, you know? With Rene, it's different. It's so hard to accept that he's gone. Their kids are so young, and Celine... I know she'll be fine, she's strong. But things are never going to be the same.

Feeling the same, had a friend pass away with cancer last year only thirty and all she ever wanted was to get married and have a family, sorry to say she did not get her wish. Played celine FLY at her funeral not a dry eye in the church. Take care Celine really feel for you and family.

So sorry about your friend. Way too young indeed. Fly is the saddest song in the world for me, can't listen without crying, have to skip it.

I never noticed the L.V. "hidden" in the FIY video, check it out below (I have it set to start at the moment it appears):

 

I wonder if L.V. is hidden anywhere else, now I feel like doing some searching!
