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.
我们不能选择自己生活的时代，我们唯一能选择的就是如何回应。哈哈，演员颜值不错，养眼。
6.5 A故事以虚写实 给一个剖面看到战争爆发前各方的状态 强调小人物对于历史虽然微乎其微但日拱一卒的推动 希特勒初次登场的那场戏特别好 缺点是强行类型元素 让人出戏地强作惊悚悬疑 又为了突出主角之间的冲突把谍战戏搞的非常儿戏 而且导演对自己的表达太不自信了 生怕观众看不懂恨不得把自己的中心思想让张伯伦给念出来 话虽如此但还是好过乔乔兔之类的几百条街吧
事不关己 无利不起早 是英国等资本主义国家的一贯政策
除了片尾评价，事实上挺符合历史的，我看着觉得挺嘲的，但评价“拖了一年让同盟国胜利”是什么鬼？而且球球了，racist这个词出来我实在不知道该笑还是该骂，用这个词来形容德三，太扯了吧……最后，这个德国小哥好帅啊！
丧事喜办不是这么个办法吧，问过捷克斯洛伐克的感受了吗。
电影其实质量还不错，如果没有结尾那几行“注解”，也许就不会有洗白张伯伦的争议了。
在《至暗时刻》之前看，历史课就篇章就顺对了。演员阵容整齐，各个有担当，画质精良，细节都能看出考量。只是被007和碟中谍还有神奇特工类高科技spy战喂熟了后，看80年前传纸条打世界大战觉得恍惚然。
对于历史题材来说，情节各种插曲真的很难让人有惊醒动魄的代入感......
虽然有喜欢演员不错表现但让人看不进去的改编历史剧。
烟盒明明还有还要“shall we share?”“I'd miss you”深情的“goodbye”看得俺老基动了，Jannis大漂亮分分钟都是hugo boss走秀啊，明明是主角为嘛演员表排老后呢
中后段发现这其实是为张伯伦正名的影片。可惜了两个青年主角。如果能把两个青年人的思想斗争以及暗中传递信息的间谍行动刻画得更紧张刺激，会更好。我感觉，我在看着荞麦在一点点变老
牛津毕业的二位同学为挽救和平而努力奋斗，但没有效果。
以前所看到过的历史表述，大都指责张伯伦，这部电影就道出了首相的良苦用心。战争的直接受害者都是平民百姓，不到万不得已时，绝对不是热爱民众的政治家的选项。此时此刻，战争容易而和平难，激怒纳粹容易而缓解其大规模的铤而走险难。利用外交手段尽量将战争延缓，为盟国争取宝贵的准备时间，这是张伯伦处在那一历史时刻的伟大贡献。
这小说的节奏直接照搬来电影很奇怪 没有一个视觉听觉上的高潮 一般
We don’t choose the times we live in. The only choice we have is how we respond.
一切都比不上Jannis Niewöhner在这部电影里角色和表演的闪闪发光，哪怕剧作上偶见松散的节奏与突兀的停顿，但有他在的每一秒都激昂出有力的节奏。
年轻人视角见证的张伯伦/绥靖政策与其政治生涯及生命尾声，现在看来反战意识高于一切。在普通人看来仅一年的和平也是如此珍贵。后半段非常流畅动人。
框架在那里，怎么填都可以，就看导演聪不聪明了，两位男主的互动简直怀疑是导演故意用来让观众忽视剧本bug的
为张伯伦正名，慕尼黑协议被解释成为牺牲个人名誉换取备战时间的战略决定
i know it's not the best,but it made me break.
