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.
其实能够欣赏到这样的故事无非也是历史上“它”被翻身了，那些被管控，恶意压制的故事我们却一直没法看到。希望那些实施犯罪又暂时逃之夭夭的人终有恶报。
片子强调思想理念重于描绘事件，居然还很扣人心弦。Sorkin拍这种题材已经成精了。
七君子因一个共同目标而走到一起，在特殊的历史时期罗列一个个事件就足够吸引人，看的热血。第一编剧索金拍出来近年最好看的法庭群相戏。萨莎·拜伦·科恩贡献了生涯最佳演出，是不是喜剧演员在正剧中都这么牛，他在法庭的表现其实远超小雀斑，结尾的设计那音乐一响起这不《春风化雨》吗，太主旋律了。
作为在沙漠里渴了很久的人，确实没办法再去挑剔一瓶水是否纯天然是否营养均衡。感受到的只有畅饮的爽快。
大胆预言一下: 冲奥➡️引爆内网舆论➡️引起各方撕逼(包括被gd利用以及被粉红嘲讽等等
有点不像Aaron的感觉了，演员阵容真的很不错，要没他们，恐怕会比茉莉还要垮。美式主旋律现在面临巨大危机，都到连索金都无法挽救的地步了。个人觉得，索金还是专注美剧吧，电影真的需要非常适合他的题材，否则就是这个不上不下的样子，毕竟是舞台出来的，对镜头语言还缺乏一些空间上的想象。

这法官真是asshole，结尾念名单集体起立有点效仿死亡诗社的意思
公知笔下的灯塔国🇺🇸可真是老police state了，民主沦为政治工具since forever。
“It has been years since I had no ideas what was going on.”
索金比《白宫风云》和《新闻编辑室》表现得更左更偏激，半个月后川普是否还能连任。
虽然很多人不太喜欢艾伦·索金，可我就是看他写的东西觉得爽啊。而且这次的案件，仿佛就是一个纪录片一般。场景穿插也比较好理解了，庭上辩护也是精彩的。但是看多了律政类案件的我就想问，不能换法官？这么biased法官，不能提审换一个么，可烦死我了。
都这个年代了，还在用这种方式洗脑呢。。全篇无聊至极，毫无触动，还是民主党老一套，内容零散，并没有一个完整的叙事。。其实也写不出完整的叙事。。因为这种斗争本来就是割裂的
The struggle was real.
美国律政剧永远能推陈出新，历史上经典政治案件，或名垂千古，或遗臭万年，在这个动荡的2020年重现，极具嘲讽，又意义非凡！
另外让我很不舒服的一点，这也许也是美国六十年代嬉皮士运动他们的局限性，追求反叛和自由的他们究竟是为了全人类的和平和爱，还是仅仅为了反叛父权，反叛父权代表的政府。究竟是为了越战牺牲的所有无辜的平民（无论是参战的士兵还是当地的百姓）还是为了自己和身边的人免受战争的征召，这种没有被逼到绝境的革命也许从开始就充满了软弱性。难以信服了。
虽然知道主旋律，但是还是看得很燃。能感觉到艾伦索金的编剧功力，有张有弛，比如our blodd, Abby在公堂上就是不说，憋死我了。但是也正因为此有点过于匠气（明显是鸡蛋里挑骨头）
两个正面双男主都是英国人演的，这要放到中国不得被骂死。这类型的历史最好还是看纪录片。看完电影后在维基百科翻阅半个小时，得到的信息都比看这部电影多
没话说，泪目了，终于等到亲吻了！“我们现在算是交往了吧” “这还用问 当然是啦！” 什么时候还能看到再合体！新兰党好难😭
The struggle was real.
