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.
除了突然zoom镜头很80年代港剧，背景音乐太多鼓点与浮夸之外，还是不错的电影！
意义很棒，在一个星期四看了这部电影的同时有八个女生被强奸了
这部影片的作用究竟怎么样不得而已，不奢求改变，起码能够被注意到。
这部片子可能给了一些人启迪，这样子操作也许能得到足够的关注啊！
《误杀2》是把真相一点一点的告诉你
尽管用强劲的音乐来烘托出紧迫感，可是也很难掩盖剧情的弱智，情节拖沓就不说了，从开头就毫无逻辑，一个女人一把枪可以在有三个出口的房子里阻挡了全副武装的警察的进攻，神仙都没她厉害呢，中间还有时间各种直播，我只能说这是一部搞笑片。
这是世界，人与人之间，真的很难做到感同身受。我们能做的，就是尽量做好自己，以身作则。
对美帝无能司法的控诉真棒棒哒。
信息时代，我们不推崇走极端，寻求爆点，但有时候，出发点只是为民族某一方面的觉醒撕出一线光明。
最近印度也开始对女性的权利和地位开始重视起来了。
就是个基本盘吧。重点是绑架小孩但并没有绑架，而是陪小孩看电视？小孩就这么乖吗？我不信。一个女人能看管16个小孩好几个小时这算不算编剧没生活？
正因整个社.会习惯性的对一些声音置若罔闻，有能力者也习惯性的事不关己袖手旁观，才让施暴者总能逍遥法外，而受害者却要承受或许一生都难以愈合的创伤甚至干脆把命赔上。当谈及女人在整个社.会中要面临的处境时，它不仅仅只是女性意识的觉醒，更应该是整个社.会的反思。你希望自己的母亲或女儿能在怎样的环境下生活？希望她们被怎样对待？
眾演員演技在線，只是劇本重要設定有硬傷，令全片由頭到尾都欠缺說服力。而當前者愈做得好，就愈顯得後者反映的落差。本片的主旨、立意是善良的，但劇本不嚴謹就是不嚴謹，煞是可惜。
可悲
昨天才看了她的生死时速，还很靓丽，今天再看这部感觉是俩人了。
还看得下去，就一直想知道女主所求是什么，知道了也就索然无味了。
很多痛苦、愤怒都被置若罔闻，可是当有一天这个国家需要被推着往前走的时候依然充满动力。
故事完整叙事清晰，意料之中又意料之外，好电影
要不是靠最后反转的引用几年前的印度公交车强奸案的案例，这片就是烂片一部，也就国内瞎编乱造电视剧的编剧水平，加无法让人直视的表演。前面女主直接走到室外枪击打算攻入的特警时竟然没有狙击手狙她，按剧情在她“杀死”第一个儿童时，尽然没有用红外探测仪监控她离开儿童聚集房间时实施特警强攻（这绝对违背这类事件的处理原则）。中间挣开捆绑的两人竟然无法治服这名女性，特别是一人在和她缠斗时另一人消失了，再回来就是俩人又被重绑，真是拿观众当傻子呀！后面的总理的处理同样不可信，警察的全程处理很电视剧完全没有一点的专业办案常识。总之前面的胡编乱造就是为了让这女的能独身撑到最后好完成那一翻。不过，这一切真的很印度片，谁认真谁就输了。除了哈哈哈，不想再说别的。
这个国家的人装聋作哑，除非你对他们大喊大叫。
