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.
老黑异国他乡身中数枪救出希腊男孩，为希腊民众带去了美国梦
人在异乡的不安和巨大变故后的悲哀都有了，但和同类型的《亡命天涯》《无处可逃》比起来散漫得像一部旅游观光片。
政治漩涡深千尺
开头节奏太慢，中间逃亡拍得很有紧张感，但是不合常理的地方有点多，尤其是中了枪伤还这么活蹦乱跳，比特工还特工的主角
在注重一些逻辑感也许更好了， 都说坎妹大女主客串，着实有点可惜，不过美国的网络电影的追求和艺术价值，的确超越目前国产网络电影好几条街，为啥？因为观众的问题，还需要成长&……加油吧，china movie
故事还可以，讲到中间部分就有点拖拉了，最后一部分解释有些牵强附会，好在男主救孩子的戏还不错。
#豆瓣电影
也许是真实事件改编，干涉内政这块儿现实永远高于艺术；坂本龙一的配乐欣赏不来，但确实intense, 有点信条那味儿。
你我皆为战士
出国旅行却卷入政治阴谋，语言不通如何逃脱追杀并救下人质？这就是美国游客的fantasy
优点是视听效果还不错 但这个本很精彩的剧本呈现的戏剧效果却很一般 度假情侣因为车祸卷进政治阴谋应该很有看头 但片子对主角的心里描写的就非常不合理 更不用说后面惊悚元素能带来多少惊喜和质的飞跃 追击这种元素拍成简单没有创意的逃跑也太浪费了
全程看一黑人像只黑猩猩一样吊着手跑来跑去，躲避追杀，却怎么都杀不死！雅典居然看不到黑人，长见识了
完全第一视角的故事片，很厉害。把谁放到这种情境下也得懵，男主这行动力已经是很强大了
你我皆为战士
普通人躲避追杀这么牛？？太神奇了！卡司这么好，原来只是客串。只是黑人男主的逃亡故事。动作戏也没什么意思。
但主角全程几乎没有真正吃过苦头。
挺一般，节奏巨慢，最后结局也就那样，并没有很惊艳
两星半。把男主拍成007，哦不，超人了。原来是星二代，难怪。希腊风景加半星。
很老派，还挺稳。小华盛顿这憨憨的长相意外适合演那些“我是谁，我在哪，我要干什么”的懵逼脸。厄运全分配给坎妹了，小华盛顿血量拉满，金钟罩护体，任你往我身上挖洞，老子依然可以使用泰山压顶，上演土版007。
你说它差吧它也有优点 但实在是夸不出口 没头没尾的 这类题材完全可以拍的更好 usa的自我感动什么时候能够停止 真是够了ps这是史上第一部电影男主抢摩托没抢过路人 忍不住笑了 从这一点上来说还挺写实？
