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.
不过如此，很平庸的电影，甚至让我感受到的不是父爱如山而是独断专横的父权。
发了福的威尔斯密斯有种说不出来的奇怪。电影还是很不错的~
其实主人物改编类型电影做到这样已经算成功了 它本身偏重的就是理查德而不是他的两个冠军女儿 而电影为了避免走偏也已经隐去了很多大小威的剧情 特别是小威 论成就来讲小威要比她姐姐出色得多但电影显然不是讲他们两个的 如果这个人物在性格塑造上的复杂性与多重性上引起足够讨论 那我觉得这就是主人物传记电影的成功了 至于必要性从来都不是传记电影的矛盾点 但有一说一 这的确就是史皇的骗奖片 你看他演得多卖力啊。。影帝也不是不可以 这种电影放到这个年代只能说是有点过时 要是放在四五十年前 这肯定是学院派最喜欢的那类电影 题外话 我看网球比较多那几年对威爸真的一点印象都没有 相反她们的妈总是会出现在看台上 发型和服饰都格外瞩目 笑死
平庸的冲奖剧本，史皇在《当幸福来敲门》的时候已经是这个高度了，现在才想起来夸他是不是太迟了。小演员们不错
小季评分：7.6
生活在黑人社区，由父母带出的世界网坛第一，前半段比较沉闷，预期就是偏鸡汤激励式的剧情，主线主要说大威，但我跟喜欢小威。
人物设置流于政治正确的表象，因此价值和印象变得稀薄、老旧、疲软，原型深度参与遮蔽了叙事的负面和复杂，父亲形象的塑造亦牺牲了大小威的主体性，父女关系和运动真实的呈现潦草。 #

电影工业代表性的产品，故事张弛有度，人物平衡情绪丰满，观众被带着从头走到尾，该哭的时候哭，该笑的时候笑
1.24.20一个库布里克式击球蒙太奇
自卑以自负的形式向外投射 作为教练父亲传记而非运动员传记 竞技的部分做出了取舍
充滿了力量，眼淚不停流。整體其實比較平，Brandi和Richard的那一場對峙全場最佳。堅持和妥協之間，無非就是忍耐和尊重。
真是无语，人品有问题啊
3.5；就很好萊塢公式…沒有驚喜、也不平淡、就這樣結束了。故事是好看的，演技也無庸置疑的好。結尾放的真人照片和影像，確實很加分，可惜這個題材已經玩臭了。
这个。。。对于能拿到奥斯卡最佳影片一事来说，就挺一言难尽的。特别（政治）正确（不是
真的好无聊，不如直接做个ppt梳理一下大小威的时间线。角度选得刁钻但做得很失败，既没有把理查德刻画得特别好，也浪费了大小威，真就是唯一的好就是威尔史密斯的表演了。奥斯卡影帝揽入囊中了。
非常不喜欢这片的视角，影片呈现出的这位父亲与所要传达的意义相悖，整个观影过程极度不适！
洪常秀三板斧：生活巧妙变虚构；创作观念大讲堂；公然炫耀金敏喜。一再把自己和盘托出，虚构也许永不枯竭，但内里那个洪常秀已经差不多要被穷尽了。
