I Am Celine Dion - your thoughts?

[Wendy Williams]

What are your feelings and opinion about this document?

 

I would honestly say 50/50, I liked the old footages. And also that she spoke. And I cried a lot when I saw her suffer during a convulsion when she lost control of her body.

 

 

On the other hand, there was little about what was happening to her - I mean narration, also her daily routine (don't forget they were with her for one year!!!). There were a lot of unnecessary detours, and not enough of the now, as if the documentary director didn't know what to do or where to go. We learned how she is doing, but little about who she is now and what she is doing. Few moments with the children, and a lot of unnecessary shots.

Her condition looked absolutely heart breaking and the pain must be extreme.

I cry if my calf cramps, she was having her body cramping up. That's crazy.

 

I'm not a big fan of her, but she seems like a sweet lady. The documentary itself was quite boring.

I'd just cut the performances and put her random days just to make her more relatable

 

Like a Selma Blair & MS documentary

Yes, those scenes from concerts and music videos were unnecessary. It spoiled the point of the documentary.

I was SHOCKED when she stiffens up at the end.

Have to agree with this statement here... there were bits of it where I felt like I could just fast forward

 

But that was such a heart breaking scene with her body. I literally just couldn't process it

Her face was red and you could see that she was barely conscious. I'm glad the assistant calmed her down and stroked her.

I would say 40% of the scenes were non-fillers.

I love her and it was heart breaking at times. But I didn’t understand what the documentary was trying to say. Like was it to prove why she isn’t performing and stop the rumors so she can lead a more private life.
 

i feel it was more on how the disease is effecting her voice and how she misses performing. 

it didn’t touch on the science behind the disease, the treatment enough or how it is affecting her family. 

like it came off im a superstar, performing and my voice is my identity and I need the admiration from my fans. I am doing what I can to be better to perform but my voice won’t be the same so go easy on me if I’m able to perform in the future. 
 

I love her nonetheless and I was hesitant to watch cause I was scared to cry but it wasn’t as emotional as I thought it would be . Like more about her losing her voice due to the disease … 

would’ve been nice to see what she’s doing regarding research for a cure or donating her outfits to raise money to find a cure .. or how she wants to be better for her family. And being grateful of what she’s accomplished even if she can’t sing again. 
 

she inspiring but the narrative just didn’t hit for me …

I felt sorry for her with her seizures.

Man Stiff Person Syndrome seems like Hell.

This may be controversial but I feel like Celine is exploiting her condition without really bringing levels of awareness of what it is, how to identify its symptoms, how to treat, etc. I feel like it’s self indulgent. Ok, rip me apart.
