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.
Mary will become her.
更明白滴答滴答嘣，明白心底倒数的走针声。
体验到了歌剧的感染力，有新意，但仍没有跳脱出传统歌舞类型的框架，放在今年来看已经是佼佼者了。首先加菲的的形象从彼得帕克开始就一直非常适合这种埋头苦干的草根设定，确实是这部影片的不二人选，在影片中一展其别开生面的嗓音有如专业选手，LMM将拉森的歌曲几乎一比一地搬上大银幕并赋予其极大的生命力，围绕生前遗憾的展现不会太过挣扎，而是用拼搏奋斗的献身精神去回应外界的感慨，反而凸显其的传奇性 。泳池五线谱化为创作灵感的设计着实是让人眼前一亮了，献给所有对百老汇舞台抱有激情的创作者和观众，对比今年另一部改编之作《健听女孩》也收获了丰厚的口碑，可能在疫情之年西方世界真的很需要这样重拾热情的话题之作吧。
今年看的最好的电影了。剧情很流畅起伏很自然，矛盾冲突铺垫的很好，背景故事讲得很清楚。看之前我对讲的谁一无所知（惭愧），对整个故事也没了解（算是音乐剧爱好者，所以rent我很熟甚至唱过部分选段）这个是大前提。看完电影这个故事他讲明白了，我看懂了，我才发现是个传记电影，我觉得这个改编就至少合格了（此处拉踩东方快车）。音乐歌舞加入的不突兀，很和谐，男主和朋友们唱起来跳起来就真的很快乐呜呜呜，中间有一段就真的很惊喜🥲按照林聚聚的要求不剧透，大家Netflix看。真的很感动，后面有几个节点，拍的很美，氛围烘托的特别好，特别好哭。。。感谢AFI FEST提供的世界首映开放售票，能和创作团队一起看这部电影听他们聊天。最后例行颜狗时间，加菲好帅哦呜呜呜呜呜
曾经倨傲云端的唐顿越来越接地气，为了影院雅俗共赏老幼皆票房，大银幕贡献合家欢式视觉盛宴：模糊了阶级斗争，调和了利益冲突，甚至友好了邻邦，每个人都以纯善的面貌得体的妆容出现，然后把单身男女无论青春差不多地都配了对儿……这是后疫情时代喂糖撒粮的精神慰藉吧？！因为从第一集就跟进，了解庄园八卦都比邻居多的，所以从情怀给五星。
一个时代快要落幕。那么热闹的感觉，恍如隔世。
很有诚意的情怀之作，双线故事完整，在无法旅行的时代真是赏心悦目。
牢笼还是羽翼，你更喜欢哪个？去问飞鸟吧。恐惧还是爱，你选择哪个？亲爱的，别急着说出答案，因为选择和行动胜过言语，它们决定了你是谁。
关于舞台的能量，神圣的高不可攀的，和亲密的触手可及的。不再无缝切换于情绪饱满的演唱与黯淡困厄的日常，用无处不在的舞台盛放演员的光芒，像保护荒岛上的火苗一般珍视着他们的当众孤独。这让那些强行点题拔高的段落都不那么惹人厌了，用可复制的无瑕的爱填充命运的裂痕，有时是鸡贼，有时是天真。
最后有点感人，加菲老了但露出脆弱一面的时候还是像小朋友
从In the Height到这部，大概真的跟林曼威无缘了。穷困潦倒不被理解的艺术家故事早已被拍烂，本该突出的社会背景几乎完全就是背景，廉价的绿幕更加让影片的时代感大打折扣。听完伯恩斯坦紧跟着再听这部真的太不够听了
聚光灯一般明亮，像是又感受了一次RENT里的生命力。/在世纪看RENT居然是三年前的事了，想念剧场。
命运啊、时间啊、生命的尽头啊…这一切都是难以捉摸又突然地降临。无法抵抗又无可奈何。
看了开头，歌不错，但不知道，就是不想看下去。#20220628
此届梗王？加菲&艾玛，LMM+音乐剧&迪士尼+魔法满屋，言归正传，这片其实反高潮，歌舞多处在难熬的情绪片段，而非演绎情节的高光
迷你剧和第一部都没看过，不影响对内容的理解。剧情的安排和设定像流水一样自然铺开，感觉像是英式贵族传统与新兴平民媒介的冲突与融合，庄园的未来发展暗含更多可能。
里面选的歌其实还可以吧。总的来说是值得看的吧。
今年的爱乐之城，加菲的个人秀。同是又唱又跳，这部更注重唱，更偏生活，个人传记。如果爱乐之城男主是加菲，如果这部女主是石头姐，会不会更好，CP粉的怨念太可怕了
加菲的影帝提名作。每年都会出一两部音乐片，但我不太感冒
自我感动罢了。精准的剪辑和抓人的旋律很容易就渲染出情绪，也很容易暴露出剧作的空洞。优秀传记片不同于粉丝电影之处就在于人物的立体和表达的独立。而本片在这两者上的绝对短板让其注定只能是粉丝电影。本片其实在中途抛出了几个非常有价值的议题以及随之带出的矛盾：艺术家将正在进行中的亲密关系作为创作素材是否有悖于伦理，以及艺术家人格固有傲慢的消极一面。但是这两组矛盾全都在最后伴随着主角早已被观众所知的成功莫名其妙地消失了。所有的精湛技术只是为了讲一个1.0的鸡汤奋斗故事，再动人的旋律也会变得无聊和虚假。就传记片而言，本片导演离拍出《登月第一人》的查泽雷差着十万八千里。
