GRACE OF MONACO - A TRUE FAIRY TALE! A film that I truly enjoyed watching because rarely fairy tales come true like this one! This is the story of a beautiful famous and Oscar winning actress, who although was famous gave up her filming career to dedicate her life to her family and her country. And although some reviews (of this film were negative), and even thought Grace Kelly's character had weaknesses (who doesn't have them), in the end she was strong, inspiring, passionate and compassionate- a true princess! Watch it with you whole family because our world needs more women like her!

GRACE DI MONACO - Una vera favola! Una film che ho veramente apprezzato guardare, perché raramente le favole diventano realtà come questa! Questa è la storia di un'attrice bella, famosa, che vinse un premio Oscar. Ma nonostante la fama, lascia la carriera per dedicare sua vita alla sua famiglia e il suo paese. Anche se alcune critiche di questo film sono negativi, a me è piaciuto perché la storia e interessante, e il personaggio di Grace Kelly, benche' aveva debolezze (chi non le ha) alla fine e stata una donna forte, stimolante, cche aveva passione e compassione...era una vera principessa! Guardate questo film con tutta la vostra famiglia perché il nostro mondo ha bisogno di donne come lei!

Some stories are begging to be told, while others couldn't buy an audience. Simultaneously, some movies need to be seen, while others have absolutely nothing to offer. Grace of Monaco falls into the latter category two times over. It's rare that you see a film with this kind of star power and this solid of a true life plot fall so very short of its goal, becoming something so unnecessary that its mere presence is an insult to all. Harsh perhaps, but true nevertheless. Countless stories go untold, countless movies go unseen, but for a professional team to take on a project like this and to watch it fail so completely is something we don't see every day. Don't expect Olivier Dahan (director of the La Vie en Rose) to rebound from this disaster quickly, while on the flip side, don't expect Nicole Kidman to be this awful ever again.

The Movie

If fairy tales do indeed exist, consider the life of Grace Kelly to be the modern-day version. An award-winning actress, this Philadelphia girl rose to super-celebrity status with roles in huge American films: High Noon, Dial M for Murder, Rear Window. She even won an Oscar in 1954 for The Country Girl, cementing her place in Hollywood history as one of the silver screen's most beloved leading ladies. But Grace would give it all up, the burgeoning career, the glamour of the red carpet, the roles of a lifetime, for what at the time seemed such a small thing; love. Grace married the Prince of Monaco, Rainier Grimaldi, and her life would never be the same.

Monaco, the second smallest nation in the world, was like a fairy tale kingdom when Grace took the throne as Princess, and her life seemed a continuation of the perfection of her past. But all was not well in Monaco, nor with her new husband, a man under the intense pressure of ruling. After having three children, Grace longed for a return to acting, something her Prince forbade. Also, the country itself was on the brink of collapse financially & politically, with France threatening to take the land by force. Monaco, having no way to fight back and relying on its beauty to survive, would become an apt metaphor of Grace Kelly herself, a fragile & angelic woman whose only hope was the very thing she gave up her old life for; love.
