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.
虽然是传记类的，但不得不说印度电影一言不合就跳舞的固定情节依然是逃脱不掉。
很强大，其实一直就很奇怪，这就是一个职业，能帮忙解决人的生理需求。怎么到现在还会被禁了，那么多人结不了婚，找不到老婆，他们怎么发泄生理需要?靠娃娃，飞机杯，还是犯罪激增?肯定会出现问题啊。女主很强大，气场，学时，话术，自信。知道自己想要什么，为之而努力，你们凭什么歧视继女?靠你们下半身思考的脑袋? 好电影值得推广
如果牢笼无法打破，那就竭尽所能给笼子里的人最好的，这是她能做到最大的努力了。有人说她只能保护那些女人一时保护不了一世，可谁说只能保护一时不是一种伟大呢。
很喜欢，看了电影后又去查了人物原型生平，画面构图太美了很像油画
像又不像，单纯的肤浅的女性主角，可不能叫女性主义电影
我觉得印度好奇怪😂现实里女性地位从生卑微到死，一文不名。坐个公交车都会被轮J，像商品一样被肆意贱卖，但是电影里又有好多这种爽文类的剧情…
我在看的时候突然就理解了为什么会有人给《活着》《肖申克的救赎》《阿甘正传》《芙蓉镇》《霸王别姬》等等那些我喜欢的电影打一星，对于生活的意义、自由的定义、命运的启迪、世事的难预、时代的荡激，我们都一变再变，时而回到几百年前，时而陷入虚妄的深渊，我寻找真理，有人数没有真理，有人说真理是语言的游戏，有人说真理因人而异，有人说……我脑子有问题。
十二年后终于给家里打去电话，还有三十秒时间，她着急的说“我妈在生气，不愿意跟我说话，我想告诉她这些年发生了什么，我渴望她的爱……”俨然还是那个真诚天真的小女孩啊。
在优渥家庭里长大的她，爱上人渣被骗拐卖妓院。为了生活忍辱接受现实，慢慢开始卧薪尝胆逆袭。虽然在男权社会的印度，甘古拜的逆袭依托黑帮大佬，但她有这样的胆量与智慧，
有被惊艳到，无论是女主的演技、剧情的编排、还是片中的歌舞。但片子未能说服的我是，为什么甘古拜在从被骗卖身到大权在握之后，要求的竟然是卖y合法化。她说要求杏工作者及其后代跟普通公民一样，拥有同等的权利，尤其是受教育权。这点我完全支持。但是卖y合法化这个就看得我很迷。不正是这样拐卖妇女非法监禁强迫卖y的一条龙服务人为且系统地持续制造妓女、以及女性所受到的奴役和压迫吗？你可以要求群体的权利，可以歌颂个人的努力和奉献，但这普度众生的说辞摇身一变，变成要求吃人的产业合法化，我就不能理解了。比较俗套的设计还是成功靠男人拯救，被虐待靠黑帮大佬救援，要选举靠黑帮大佬拉关系，要出名靠男性记者做宣传。且不说这俩男配基本就是平面角色、动机不明，女主的爬升多多少少还是依靠了自己的媚男手段。还是不能免俗。
喜欢女主的力量感
“她的命运充满悲伤，但她一生都面带微笑。”是一个非常精彩的故事，即使美化了许多黑暗的东西。最令人动容的是女孩子们聚在一起同写一封给家人的信，那是她们共同的心声，也是所有身陷黑暗的女孩们当初注定的命运。
为了那个群体 放弃了自己的幸福
身毒国“赵盼儿从政救风尘”，剧实在没啥意思，女主太好看。看了一些评论，何不食肉糜的人还真多，估计小时候他们都是“双洁棍”吧，哈哈。一个事实上顽固存在的行业，不能合法化的结果其实就如女主所言，从业者的基本权利是根本得不到保障的，利之所聚，白社会缺位必然是黑社会上位，道德纯洁主义者总是成事不足败事有余。
这是女权？好吧，或许在印度能做到这样已经是不错了，但是牙医那段是怎么回事？rh？如果想看到女权，那就算了，也就借此更加了解印度国情吧
本打算看半小时睡觉，然后就一直看完了，节奏很棒，逆袭打怪片儿
p.s. 女主是Gully Boy里疯狂勇敢浪漫的女友！在短时间内无预警的情况下看到第二部她的作品，好惊喜！她真的好美！
黑帮老大：“来介绍一下，这是我妹”。所以，浪漫洗白也是白。
不管是女主的美貌还是剧情走向还是重点台词都一股爹味的女权电影，但是想想我们连这种都拍不出来，立刻4星。
首先，我不赞同卖淫合法化。
