Proof of Attendance: La Vie en Rose showing

Usually french films are not something I am too interested in, but with some persuasion and the possibility of some snacks, I decided to attend the showing of, "La Vie en Rose," a movie about a french girl who who went from a hard life on the street to becoming a famous singer riddled with drug abuse problems, illness and marital affairs.


 The french class at shepherd was hosting this showing above the rams den and was giving their students credit for attending. So including myself, Zachary Waters and people from that class, there was a huge crowd of about 12 people watching this film.

After a 2 hour run time, the movie finally ended. If you haven't guessed already, my opinion of the movie was not one of positivity. While it did have a few elements I liked such as the story and the acting, I had a lot of issues with the technical executions within the film like shaky footage, confusing flash forwards and flashbacks and just an overall long run time that I feel could have been condensed.
So while this experience was not the most amazing, I still got the chance to try something new and kept an open mind about so it wasn't a bad time after all.
