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.
有说世俗的成功能给人带来不被指摘的自由，
最遗憾的是没有看到RENT吧必须说至今还是最爱ICU。
网飞能不能别拍伪纪实片了，开头那个N一闪过接下来两个小时只要一想到这东西在消费我的同情心和价值取向就会心理不适
The end of an old age. The beginning of a new era!
影片高开低走旋律亦然，故事处理着实乏味。
漂亮的游泳池 source of inspiration！
加菲完全融入了角色，这一次他很用力，褒义的。
电影中那首几乎磨死乔纳森的金曲《胜于话语》里，创作者问到，“恐惧还是爱？别说出答案。”
6/10。看开头就知道是我不会喜欢的音乐剧片了，而且这类电影在豆瓣都是高分好神奇。喜欢同年的《身在高地》，俗人只爱看五彩斑斓的唱跳。有一场女生唱段给我口型对不上的感觉。电影与音乐剧的结合，弊大于利。
事业、爱情和生命的三重“倒数”注定本片会在紧迫和焦虑中不断加码至情感过载。在《倒数时刻》独白表演的基础上，电影没有追求类型内常见的复杂调度和编舞，而是依靠着大量快节奏的平行蒙太奇，配合着急促、重复的音型还有搬演的纪录片资料，处理好了戏中戏两层叙事结构，它们成为了彼此的镜像，最终发表会上合二为一；同时又以一种侵略的姿态直接压迫着观众的情感体验。那段可能是全片唯一同期声拍摄的钢琴Solo最终让我们在精疲力尽中走到情绪的高潮，而后电影竟一种温暖的姿态收了回来，稍有勉强但未尝不可。“纽约无人快乐”，加菲的表演让人回想起金·凯瑞在《月亮上的人》中的那般痴狂，在每一个笑容背后，都是破碎且泪眼朦胧的。
音乐上还行吧，又一个lalaland，但是文本上太标准太规整了。。。不如多看几遍白先勇的《纽约客》。说是献给纽约打工人创作者的情书但是真在纽约的打工人创作者觉得好像是批发的甜话小集合。创作没那么高贵。全片最动人的角色竟然是mike就很那个了。。想把我写的地铁和打工段子贡献给LMM。
没看过剧，就电影本身来讲没什么好说的，感觉跟国产宫廷剧差不多
加菲有追求，有前途～ 虽然现在看着还有点像表演工作室的学生…故事好美，每一个Jon人生中的时刻都牵动人心，但LMM这种快剪真的是看着好难受…可能老了受不了这么多又晃又快切的镜头。这是theatre没法剪辑后遗症么，能拍电影了就疯狂切镜头？
一星扣在歌曲质量，歌舞片的舞蹈和音乐上不去是硬伤。任何艺术家总会有一段至暗时刻，艺术梦想是生活里唯一的慰藉，如灯塔或明星般遥不可及却闪闪发亮，把这些辛酸酿成美酒是多么痛苦又珍贵的过程。生活中的臭水沟太多，大部分里都没有月亮。有人选择妥协，而有人选择自己成为那轮月亮。
大电影力图给所有人一个happy ending，即使理智知道在欣欣向荣的表象下危机四伏，但还是很难不被触动。大小姐终于接过了老夫人的接力棒，小火车拥有了小说般的男友，就连茜比也有了财产傍身，英伦庄园逐渐迪士尼化了。
其实我觉得没必要删掉管家的故事线，即使明显包裹着偶然的幸运，我们戏外的人，也需要一些这样的坦荡、勇气、好运和祝福。
传奇音乐剧大师乔纳森·拉森的传记电影，加菲的演技值得一个影帝提名。把自己的真实生活搬上舞台，成就了乔纳森心中的艺术。倒数第二首歌实乃点睛之笔：你是被爱还是恐惧牵引？这是乔纳森的扪心自问，也是抛给每一个观众的命题。
其实我觉得没必要删掉管家的故事线，即使明显包裹着偶然的幸运，我们戏外的人，也需要一些这样的坦荡、勇气、好运和祝福。
一方面要有艺术天赋，另一方面要有恒心和运气。第一个方面就已经淘汰掉这世上99.99%的人了。
520第一次看唐顿，没想到电影院一个人都没有，包场了，唐顿给我和感觉真的很像百年孤独，一代又一代地轮回，也让我感受到为什么保守派会抵御科技，与其说他们抵御不如说他们恐惧，恐惧改革后对他们贵族的影响，家族无法沿续，需要资金修房顶，最后也只能向电影公司天价的租场费妥协
