Last night My mother and I want to see the movie Aurore. We wanted to see it at 19h30 representation but it was sold out and we had to wait for the next representation.
Aurore is based on a true story that happened in the 1920's about a girl that got beaten to death by her step-mother and also her father (if you want to see the movie website :http://www.aurore.ca ).
So what is the big interest in that kind of movie? Well, the story is a classic in Québec. I thing everyone must know about it one way or the other. No one will be named Aurore here because it's automatically link to martyr.
The movie is a remake of a not so good movie made in 1952. Still, the movie I saw yesterday is disturbing because even if it's set in 1920 and something, it's still relevant today. There is still today children dying because of neglicence or abuse. Even just before the movie start, there's a message from the DPJ (children welfare in Québec I think would be the best translation) saying that children should not suffer in silence and that if we know something like that is happening we have to do something.
Did I like the movie? I don't know, not yet, but I did find it disturbing and give me a lot to think about. I don't hink all that been said in the movie is true but one fact cannot be denied, Aurore died because her wounds got infected. She was covered with wounds. Everyone in the village knew something wrong was happening but nobody did nothing. Very sad story. The generic at the end start with no music, only after 1 minute or more the music begins, that was also disturbing. Funny how the lack of music just gives you a sense of uneasiness. Should I go or stay until the end of the generic? Anyway...
What Aurore got to do with AF? Some of you already knew it,I've already said it. Aurore is the french counterpart of Aurora, our local famous nutcase. Funny how Aurora's story connect to Aurore's story. It must have been a coincidence in Byrne's part but still... Even in 1 of the first issues, Byrne made Northstar call his sister Aurore and not Aurora.
