Set in a small Quebec town in the late-1920′s, this emotional drama follows the life and exploits of Celeste Beaumont, a talented young pianist who gains local celebrity at the town movie theater for her gifts as a silent film pianist. Awkward Pierre Blaudell is her biggest fan and eventually marries her. Shortly after this she bears his son, Pierre, who joins the army. She insists on joining him at the base and his meddlesome, snooty parents insist she give them her son. Pierre is killed in the war, and Celeste flees to New York where she finds steady employment as a jazz pianist. She finds a life-long companion with a black musician and chronicles her experiences in a diary that she passes on to her son after he grows up. Her son becomes a painter and once his own son, Antoine, is grown, reads him the story of Celeste, the youth’s grandmother. Intrigued, Antoine heads to the Big Apple in hopes of finding her.
This movie is an emotional drama about how Antoine, played beautifully by François Méthé, discovers the details of his heritage. This film won many awards in Canada and at Cannes in 1988. François Méthé, who was about 11-years-old, never acted again after this movie.
From IMDb:
A quiet painter, separated from his wife for a year, receives a suitcase in the mail from his mother, whom he hasn’t seen since infancy. He believes she abandoned him to his wealthy, paternal grandparents. The suitcase contains mementos and a diary, a long letter to him, written over the years, with details of her youth, her first job as a pianist at a cinema, the coming of talkies, her marriage, and how he came to live with his grandparents. As he reads through the materials and her story comes to life, his son Antoine, who’s about 10 or 12, tries to break through his father’s silence and sorrow by taking matters into his own hands.
表面看起来是表演的问题，其实全是导演的锅。煽情多的令人头皮发麻，角色不停的哭或悲拗来渲染悲情氛围，后半都快十分钟一哭了，按头观众感动，整个节奏混乱崩塌，显得剧创团队十分不自信。本来这个改写的故事还算扎实，外国的框，中式的心，但生怕大家不懂，强行加入各种明示画面。陈思诚的水平基本见底了，所有戏一到揭示时刻倾盆大雨就哗啦啦啦……that's soooo boring。两星半。
上次误杀官二代太受观众欢迎，必须得改；上次掀翻公权力座驾太具煽动性，自然也得改；上次连坐牢的机会都没有，改；上次请了优秀的外籍导演，改；上次镜头太专业太炫技，改；上次音乐太克制，改；肖央的演技好像没有改，有几幕酷似包贝尔
什么几把啊……陈思诚强大的ego出现了人传人现象
和弟弟和女友出游回来后，边吃火锅边看的。我可能不会选这样耗内心的影片来看。但他们喜欢。就跟着看一看。编剧思维，人生苦难重重。
看完这狗屁不通、处处槽点的电影，可以说陈思诚是华语电影四害之首了。
还以为真的是翻拍的续集呢，拍了个啥么，失望，挂羊头卖狗肉
略微打了个社会议题的擦边球，还是靠强煽情而来
一面惊叹于国产类型片把控和外来剧本本土化改编的娴熟流畅，一面感慨于国内主创频繁翻拍和利用观众G点“投其所好”的偷懒投机。整部电影的剧情发展、故事转折、高潮反转等一切都似曾相识，一切都毫无惊喜。电影其实并不难看，但就是味同爵蜡。突然感觉国产电影烂并不可怕，可怕的是平庸，烂一次下回可能会进步，平庸的结果就是下次可能还会平庸。还有一点就是肖央可能还是奔着拿奖去的，那么多情绪爆发和特写，整体还可以，细节还得加强了。
看了一圈评论，大家都在感慨，虽然拍的很一般，但他们始终在拍，过去的事情不能就这样过去了，要时时回头看一眼才能起到警醒的作用，也才对得起那些逝去的生命。另外，韩国人喊口号真带感，最后一幕生生被喊出眼泪。
持续割裂的观感，自己家的问题不敢说，非给人家里说，真是贻笑大方，也不怕丢人的，这里子面子都烂光了。还是那个问题，就是照搬别人故事都讲不通顺，这是多可悲，但好歹这部电影还算在讲故事和有着电影的基本观感，不能算太烂那个级别。我对他的偏见主要还是在别人家说别人家的莫须有的烂事，这大可不必，你不敢说就换个题材呗，整这一出真的太烂骨头了。第一部这样好歹还有剧作的把控能让人纯粹的看故事，而这一部太过于强行扭转且本身是一个着重于社会层面的剧本被这样拍就显得异常尴尬了，甚至说这样根本无法让人共情只会让人生厌，因为他的基底是揭露某种官僚主义的腐败。再回头看电影和误杀有啥主题关联呢？这不纯把人当傻子圈钱吗。
打俩星是我最后的仁慈！千万不要去电影院看啊！它不配！
看看某牛，就知道这在我国不可能发生，底层百姓就是蝼蚁
忽略那些逻辑硬伤和过度煽情，本片从执行上还算合格，因为是泰国背景，在阶级差异的讽刺上也可以不那么束手束脚，肖央的表演能撑起这个人物，其他人物就差点儿意思。非要搞反转，但却在意料之中，陈思诚这两把刷子总要把故事包装成烧脑题材，一旦不行就用搞笑和催泪来弥补，谁也不好意思吐槽一个父亲想救儿子的心，到了还是底层心疼底层罢了。
七颗星吧，这种真实事件改编的电影，往往能引起人们的共鸣，只是看演绎的怎么样了
这种资本套名恰烂钱的片子就不要客气了好嘛！
煽情，大量升格镜头拖时间，看得想睡觉。一个简单的故事硬是拖了尽2个小时，中间穿插着各种无意义的脸谱化人物来配合主角演出。看到最后，又以口号式煽情收场，看得我想骂人——我是来看推理的，你来把我当弱智规训呢？
最让我觉得恐怖的是围观的人们一会儿横眉冷对千人所指，一会儿拔地而起拍案叫好，一派众口铄金积毁销骨的模样，跟如今的网暴一样的令人害怕。
依旧是属于也不能说它差，只是不够好，口碑就会很差的那一类电影。 开场的节奏比美版更类型片，选取了美版对立面的结局（可能是为了扣题），忽略了被绑架者群像的描绘，更多的笔墨在讲外层的各个相关人员。虽然也不喜欢美版，但是也不能让人喜欢中国版……
看到最后，竟然感动了，KR太敢拍了，真心不不错~~
