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.
不管战争的性质如何，受伤的永远是平民。比起一袋弹子，这里的孩子才是经历了战争啊。
主要是修女和辅警 盖世太保和抵抗组织成员 学校家庭和孩子这三条故事线，本来是英军牺牲少数人救多数人的计划，却不幸误杀了百余人包括八十余名儿童。被弹药摧毁的钢筋水泥砸下来，在漆黑狭窄满是灰尘的缝隙里和救火的积水里呼吸的时候，该有多么痛苦害怕和绝望。苦难是人受的。
不明白哪里好看，是我学了假电影，还是日本电影只剩营销吹几把？
盟军误炸丹麦学校,一个好题材没有拍好。剧本太糟糕,上半部分情节杂乱无章,单调乏味,没有主线。盟军几个当事飞行员完全成了工具人,误炸后他们应该很有故事,可惜完全没有提及。6.4
空袭前半段剪得像MV，然后变成了各种误炸。
if God drops a pencil and looks away……愿世界和平没有战争
其实不怪是枝裕和，日本社会治安稳定，鲜有贩卖人口案例。但在外国人的视野下，面对堕胎、弃养、贩卖人口这类严重社会议题，是枝的温情就会显得过于幼稚。另外，是枝其实也蛮需要去类型片创作的框架里汲取一些养分。一直以来他的剧作都依靠单场戏的细节描写不断叠加而渐次打动观众，影片的发展依靠弥漫在故事中的所谓“氛围”而非逻辑，到了这部戏就和《第三度嫌疑人》一样，有些行不通。尤其结尾的处理相当不自在。总之，这部电影对于是枝裕和以及宋康昊而言都属于中规中矩的作品，后者拿了个戛纳影帝还挺...意外的
被抛弃的孩子们就能互为亲人？我觉得导演这次也挺犹豫的。
最后一幕还致敬了罗拉快跑
好好的Alex又爬了小半部电影。）感觉有劲没使完，人设都不错，但是结构写得太散，每个人物都没完成，好可惜，不过摄影很不错，你永远可以相信北欧的摄影师！
幼稚，男孩演技太差。换成女孩演可能评分能高一分
5分。其实核心还是要勇敢，既有校园暴力，又有家庭暴力，总是要站出来。不过剧情逻辑太随意了。犯罪背景又加了一堆通灵，太奇怪了。小女孩演得很好。
喜歡是枝大概有一大半是因為喜歡他對生命和家庭的闡述。對，比起在出生後拋棄，在他還沒來到這個世界前打掉他的罪沒有比較輕。#兒童節不要墮胎
英军轰炸哥本哈根盖世太保总部时，误炸了修女院的事件。一个普普通通的面包，需要用圣水解毒才能吃下去的年代。当妈妈长跑穿过整个城市爬上几个楼层回家开门看到女儿在吃早上没有吃的粥的时候，双腿再也无法支撑紧绷了一天的身体而瘫坐到地板。愿世界和平！
可怜的小朋友和男女主角，如果是电影不喜欢这样的剧情，最后男女主角死的纠结。不过历史的话，就另当别论，上帝与恶魔同在
英国人太笨蛋了。我们不曾亲眼看到战争的残酷，近期的俄乌XX其实就在我们身边，发生在这个蓝色星球的某一个角落，战争其实离我们很近。
结尾母亲失去女儿，茫然地看着父亲懊悔痛哭，然后不顾一切地跑回家里，开门看到女儿仍然在喝粥……多想回到每个平凡的昨天。
作为是枝裕和忠粉，这次我表示略失望。
P.S.拉丁裔小朋友好帅好有型好像少年版纳达尔…
举着正义旗号的“精准打击”，却造成严重的无辜伤亡。当满脸土灰的幸存儿童睁着大眼睛，望向天空中出现的轰炸机时，他们不知道即将面对的是什么，战争的残酷彰显无疑。
