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.
好想打1颗星，基本完全照着原来的版本复刻来的，不知道它翻拍的必要在哪。对了，店主新的设定为一位女性，也许有新的表达，但我完全没有耐心。在前不久错看了老版还必须看完，所以忍受了2个多小时之后，这个新版几乎每一分钟都挑起我的怒火。跳啊得再好看表演再热辣，也显得虚假。WOT
再也不相信豆瓣评分了，真的很好看啊！！！
旧版本来就是音乐电影是上最大沽名钓誉和名不副实之作，而如今除了将其复刻某种老派影迷念念不忘的「年代感」之外一无是处，至今无法明白全篇都是难听的歌居然被某些人认为是经典？
歌舞场景都有超越到原版的，不过男人打架的故事我不想再看了，再加上罗朱的一见钟情，演员颜值不高的话我都get不到。Spielberg的第一出musical，他就不适合用xx years old来形容，而是at 75 years of youth。
2.5 再厉害的导演也救不了这么一个脱离时代而老套的故事。
對於原作那種美好的記憶猶新，實在不忍心給大師差評，含淚註記三星。
（7.0/10）相较于原版《西区故事》的音乐剧质感，斯皮尔伯格的改编着重于“电影化”。动作戏更加追求真实感，摄影调度和剪辑等方面也比原版更为复杂。除此之外，剧情上似乎没有太多大的改动，只是调整和修改了一些细节。其实结合近年来美国社会现状，新版本可以有更贴切的改编，但都属于点到为止。斯皮尔伯格的版本与原版最大的差距在于缺少对其他配角的刻画以及在结尾处失去了原版的情感张力。
爱死Ariana DeBose!! Ansel没有网传的差，Rachel也没有预期的完美，David Alvarez超性感。Ariana DeBose完美！奥斯卡最佳女配预定！
举手投足间，处处渗出舞蹈功力，跳起舞来更是熠熠闪光。
翻短评看到那个打两分，说厌倦了看西德拍东德的片，想看东德拍自己的片的......给我的震撼比影片结尾那个突如其来的爆头还要大。这人是太反智还是要去德国帮人家重建柏林墙啊？
看不下去……这是歌舞片吗为什么除了在舞厅里都不怎么好好唱跳啊，憋死我了
除不时闯入并撕裂剧情的歌舞部分外，所剩的一切都是如此冗长无趣。没看过原版，但这极有可能是最差的一部斯皮尔伯格。
一个本身就很牵强的故事线完全靠演员的表演与气质justify，结果男主全片最拉。四星给其他一切。至少把in the heights吊起来打。
还是没能超越老版，老版里导演的调度堪称一绝了，斯皮尔伯格的导演能力毋庸置疑，但他并没有选择在调度上用力，反而选择了更流行化，更青春片的拍法，可能老导演到了这个年纪，已经不需要去证明什么了，干好行活就行。这是一个毫无必要的翻拍，既然拍法还是老版的美学思路，故事上也没有能移植到当下时代的新东西，会让你切身体会到所谓的经典和落后于时代的俗套只在一线之间。
文化隔阂很重，除了尚且听一听看一看的歌舞，我也感觉不出什么更重要更突出的东西了。如果斯皮尔伯格还要拍自己的童年回忆的话，可以选个更有趣的本子。
毕竟是大导呀，一出手就知道有没有，这调度，这视觉呈现，太太太太惊艳了！但…故事是真难看，以及男主是带资进组吗？
There's no right or wrong

【3】调度自然无可指摘，但底子摆在这儿怎么也拍不出花来。而无处不在的眩光/反射或许试图揭示好莱坞欢愉却终究归于幻想的实质（摄影机的造梦），不予转译的西语是弥合的不可能。环顾当下的世界，斗争不可能只是一场场歌舞那么简单。
虽然舞蹈挺棒的，镜头炫光挺梦幻的，但斯皮尔伯格也救不了西区故事，看完连原作都不想看了。瑞秋·泽格勒堪称好莱坞刘浩存，上来就是斯皮尔伯格的女一，接下来居然还要以棕黑色的皮肤演白雪公主盖里加朵演她妈邪恶皇后，资源强到逆天。
