In my opinion this was the only good part of the film. Up until this song I was bored and irritated that I might of wasted my money but then Marion Cotillard started singing and I fell in love with her voice.
I am a film maker myself. I watched this movie with my wife the other night and afterword she told me she understood me better. I don't know if that's a good thing or not, but I appreciated it none the less. If you like "9" also see "All That Jazz" and the showtime series "Californication"
Frankly, Marion Cotillard saved this film. Her beautiful, grounded performance outclassed every other woman on the screen - even Penelope Cruz (and I LOVE Penelope).
@ashpashley Absolutely. I saw it with a person who just couldn't get the nuances. He hated the movie. But I guess it went over his head. He said it wasn't about anything... that nothing happened. A lot of people (reviewers) didn't even get that the marriage was a plot point. Basically the main plot point.
This does not sound like My Husband Makes Movies this has different words and they destroyed the concept of the song is suppose a relization that Guido cheats on her and cares more about his movies than her. This causes move closer to singing Be On Your Own in act 2 which they cut.
@Sameyach I think that this version is incredibly successful at emphasizing both her isolation and dedication. Her unending love is put on display as strained. Her subtlety has already suggested that she is doubting his fidelity (or even aware of his infidelity). I think that it is a delicate performance and was a good choice.
i think she looks like a hybrid of audrey hepburn and bette davis. theres definitely something bette davis in her eyes, and she has a fire that i never felt with hepburn.
@TheDelphineus it's so funny that you said that because I was actually trying to explain how Marion Cotillard is pretty, and I used Audrey Hepburn as an example...they're both beautiful in a very elegant way. They're both amazing actresses too of course :)
Marion was utterly mesmerising in this film, one of its few genuine characters. She sung beautifully, using her exquisite beauty to mirror her aura & emotional anguish to perfection. At this point one was made aware just how much the character Guido Contini lacked, blatantly missing what was there. Lewis & Cotillard gave the finest efforts, followed tremendously closely by Dench. It was a fine film & if Lewis was the man of the hour then Cotillard was surely its sparkling diamond. Thank you :)
Greetings koln1996:) Truth be told; if anyone was going to be nominated, it would have to have been Lewis & Cotillard as they provided the foundations; this is not to take anything away from the other performers, they were just a little too random to possess the substance of the leads. Whoever insisted on a nod for Marion deserves kudos even if it proved a jinx; do not worry, like it took a few decades too many for Lewis to be honoured more than once, Marion will triumph again, that is obvious.
I love this tune. So powerful, So beautiful. Every time I play it I get all funny thinking about my wife. We loved the film, "Unusual Way" "My Husband Makes Movies" and more.
she really reminded me of audrey hepburn in this scene... she even has a similar haircut in Roman Holiday - i thought Marion was amazing in this movie
I never really gave marion cotillard a second thout, but after this film, she really turned me around. She really is one of my favorite actresses now....
This was one of the most mesmerising songs in the whole movie. I love it. I just wish someone would post the full clip because her movements and expressions add even more magic to the performance. I feel like you might ask how that is even possible, well it is, I don't know how, she is that good!
she was fabulous in this movie!! i think she deserves her second oscar! her and penelope were probably the best actors. everyone else was good but they stood out the best!!
i saw this today with a friend, and I expected it to be good but this movie was just phenomenal. this may be just me but penelope cruz is like a young sophia loren, and maria cotillard left me speechless she was vry audrey 1960s I loved it
They changed the lyrics because IT IS THE FILM ADAPTATION not the actual stage show on film. GET OVER IT and be open-minded. Look at the film as what it is, THE FILM VERSION!
she is the heart of this movie, but everyone else was fantastic! but whenever she was on screen i was soooooooooo blown away!!!! she has to win the golen globe
There is something about Marion Cotillard. She is by no means the best singer but I love her voice so much and want to watch her in anything I can.....can't wait to see this movie!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
What were they thinking with the lyric changes. Why mess with a song that was perfection. NOt crazy about cotillard's version, Give me Karen Akers from the original broadway cast any day
Lovely voice and I'm sure she is wonderful in it, but I hate, HATE unnecessary lyrics changes. Really, WHY did they change the lyrics they did? Just to annoy fans of the show? I just wanted to be able to sing along, hah.
@chiedu72 She was ABSOLUTELY brilliant in this movie. Sadly, the movie didn't make the splash that I felt it deserved, but Marion Cotillard was a gem in this role.
@officiallyshane IMHO, she's the one who puts the touch of quality in this ......whatever it is , movie....NINE was a waste of talent, production values, time and money in Bob Marshall's hands.
