The movie version of my life would be directed by Francois Truffaut. It would not be a musical, per se, but it would have musical moments. (Think of Jeanne Moreau singing Le Tourbillon in Jules et Jim--you know, my avatar! Or Bobby Le Pointe in Tirez Sur Le Pianiste.)
It would be full of humorous bits, but there would always be an underlying feel of sadness to the film...a kind of hopelessness that dreams will never truly be realized. At the same time, there will be characters who demonstate great humanity and inspire the other characters to persevere despite adversity.
Some of the more surreal aspects of life would have to be slipped in from time to time because the surreal keeps it real, in my life, anyway.
I became very drawn to "Caldwell B. Cladwell" (aka my husband) the time he and I were at a party--we were not dating, in fact, we were seeing other people--and he pointed to a picture of Jeanne Moreau (when she was like 30) and he said, "I've been trying to figure out who you look like, and that's it." So, I would LOVE for a young Jeanne Moreau to play me (who wouldn't?), but I would be happy with Judy Davis doing the honors. (I'm not sure but I think she's about my age now.)
My husband would be played by Tim Robbins or Oliver Platt. Jane2 would be played by Bette Midler.
WHO WOULD PLAY ALL OF YOU????????
