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.
有点硬，但换个角度想，一些东西为什么会成为“刻板”或许是有道理的。最共情的地方竟然是追星现场……我也好想看线下演唱会啊淦
居然是个话剧电影。悟了，只有鸭才有耐心去懂一个女人。
与家庭、与自己的和解，真的是亚裔创作永远的主题。配乐非常东方非常好听，等原声碟~
论皮克斯是怎么把第一印象很差的角色形象掰到超级可爱的… 男团很辣眼睛，但是细想不也是对应着我们年少时不忍直视的爱好或行为吗？
而这一切，无不指向一种惯性，一种对欲望羞于言说的惯性，一种活在道德评判中的惯性，一种一潭死水式的中产庸常生活的惯性，一种性别宰制关系的集体无意识的惯性。
属于皮克斯的第二梯队，这次是东方人会共情西方人会猎奇，都会喜欢何乐不为呢，很接地气，也是这些年东方元素动画里最能够感同身受的一部，另外这个毛茸茸的真的萌，还有男团大场面真的很搞很到位，电子宠物很怀旧
三星半。题材和结构很有趣，但台词不够精彩，功利的“踩点”感太强，且过分正确而折损了趣味。还有，只有我觉得这个男妓毫无吸引力吗？他讲话好像在竞选社区领导啊，真是倒找钱都不想跟他做。
对这份工作太理想化了。不过我也相信，高端的鸭，应该是半个心理咨询师。
虽然确实因为切身体验对东亚家庭权力关系/母女关系这个小话题而哭泣了，但不可否认main topic依然是青春期自我成长。东方仪式bless/curse，赋予/剥夺，宗祠传统/新的道路，只像是给爆米花美国人做文化安利，真正的东亚人太难因此共情了（所以墨西哥人看coco也是这样吗
三处哭点：“不管我再怎么努力，都不够完美。”“我是你妈，跟我说什么对不起。”“你走得越远，我越骄傲。”没想到不那么喜剧。戳人心，展示国人的内心，真不易。
当然，前面评价的是演员，后面我想说——我很高兴在我年轻的时候认识这部电影。Thanks，IT really teaches me a lot....
小熊猫可可爱爱，13岁就要求饭圈少女+演唱会自由...有点太白左了，我站asian parents
Leo the sex worker claims he can put up a fantasy, and he delivered. But I think the screenwriter did a better job on that.
一二次约会的紧张小心翼翼拍的挺动人，但转而三四次约会又落入原生家庭、自我和解的窠臼。主题是accept yourself，accept your body仅仅是几句台词以及结尾一笔带过，要是对accept our body的探讨多一些也许会更喜欢。
太可爱啦！！把青春期的母女关系冲突都刻画的挺到位。红熊猫真的一级可爱，做自己也是最可爱的。
男主到第三幕开始已经明白要怎么配合雇主了，就是建立亲密关系的某种平等。女主袒露自己，自卑、痛苦的过去，她渴望在男主的身上重建自信。性其实不是最重要的，人格的完满才是重要的，而人类建立平等的某个途径就是知道对方的秘密。男主最终提供了一个有可能是假的私人的故事，获取了女主的信任和兴奋。鱼水之欢在暂时的道德共赢下变得圆满，钱花得很值。但最终高潮是女主自己完成的，事实上也说明了她真正要的不是性而是人格的完整，哪怕是幻觉。这也回答了很多人觉得结局过于完美的问题。那种卡点卡得特别设计的。什么美男子猛回头找手机，含泪诉身世。这种都是非常明显的叙事诡计。如果上当了，说明还是情海不可渡之人。
成长的叛逆，终会和解的，华人形象难得的高光。
这也太好了，太可爱了没人会不喜欢红熊猫。非常中式的命题，太适合和家人一起看……（有没有用就另说了）（宇宙的终极：I’m proud of you）
3.有朋友（男）在全剧最喜欢爸爸，因为只有爸爸apprecaite美美的熊猫，我当然觉得他的屁股坐得不偏不倚的（嘲讽的意思），猫爸在虎妈面前还是有存在合理性的
太纯净了，太通透了，太形而上了，每一个词都在谈论肉身，可每一个词却都指向灵魂。进退失据和义无反顾，悔恨与慰藉，衰败与新生。赎尽对他人和对自己的歉意，然后抵达巅峰。
