Ok before the archive police get me, I realise this is being discussed on the front page but that subject is mixed with other topics like what the title was etc etc. and it’s confusing. So this topic is just for discussion about the doco.
I just saw it last night and I really want to know what other ppls who saw it thought about it? I’ll be honest, I cried like a friggin baby!!! I was really impressed that she had the courage to be so open and honest, and to show herself with a swollen face and no hair.
I was really shocked to hear that she had to learn to read and count again!! I didn’t know the brain damage was so severe. I hope she can get back to her normal self. Anyway just want to say I’m really damn proud of her!!

I have now watched it twice in full, and I really liked it, would have been better with some subtitles, but I was surprised at how much I could understand!
I would watch it again if I get the chance, I think a DVD release would be good for those who cannot see it, as a ways to make up for lack of information over the past 2 years, but seeing that now I can understand why Marie wanted her privacy even more now.
The doco was very well recorded, and excellent quality, and was so good to see Marie singing, I think she looks wonderful now better than ever and so at ease with herself.
Was also good to see the children and here Micke talk, as I don’t recall ever hearing him before now!
Oscar was so cute singing with his friend (a star in the making)

Documentary really impressed me. Especially I love the end, when lyrix from THE CHANGE fits MARIE words and situation very well.
Though, yeah, I understood just about 1% of what was said.

Cowboy: why were you bothered? Because of her swollen face or because she cried? If you’re worried about the crying, she only cried when she was saying something happy. I freaked when I saw her crying face on the front cover of Aftonbladet, but she doesn’t cry because she’s upset. And her face...well I had a friend who did the same treatment and she said her face was normal 2 weeks after she stopped, so we’ll get our skinny Marie back one day and if not I think she looks sweet anyway!

Well considering that I hardly understood a word it was very moving.
I have always loved Marie but now I have a new appreciation of her she is such a fighter, so brave and truly an inspiration to me. Her album is quite simply stunning I love every song and ’Table in the sun’ brings tears to my eyes especially when it is played in the documentary.
She has been through so much yet her outlook on life just makes me want to do better in my own, not take anything for granted and to appreciate the beauty around us...Marie thank-you through your suffering you have inspired many!
That said I still want this on DVD and with English subtitles ;)
