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.
泪奔……好片！没有个人英雄主义，只有一个垂暮老人、一条狗、一个有感情会做梦的机器人。
社恐福利，适合一个人看的公路片。二十年后，陪伴他的从排球变成了机器人。汤姆•汉克斯，从阿甘一路跑来，见证了帝国的衰落。
末日，老男人，一条狗，两个机器人。（哭个不停）
所以，人们看到的真相不一定是真相，可能是政治家让你看到的真相。
7分。给印度电影打分有时候真的挺矛盾的。一方面主题很宏大，或者无比正确，伟光正，就像不少人说的，能拍出来就是胜利。但另一方面如果刨去主题，电影的拍摄水准是在不太能看，不太能感染人。本剧涉及到了女性歧视，政府黑幕等等内容，上下两集两个男主，以及反转还是蛮突兀的，特别是下半段的律师部分，我就奇怪反派们做事就不做全套的么？？好吧，还是能拍出来就是好吧。。。
格局有了，魅力不够。坑挖的好但填的时候感觉力不从心。
大众的愚昧
印度电影真的是越来越好。几次反转让人眼前一亮，还有深一层对种姓，政治，媒体的抨击。
乍看导演是让观众不要看表象，但导演全程都隐瞒着重要人物关系 因果关系在讲述，直到最后几分钟才一下放出全部关系 这种头重脚轻 刻意隐瞒重要线索情节到最后的方式 绝对上不了4星
很简单的故事，却蕴含着丰沛的情感。比起自己的生存，Finch更在乎狗狗Goodyear的生存，甚至做出个机器人Jeff照顾它，甚至一路向西去一个更好的地方，“它不是我的狗，它是它自己的狗”，在Finch眼里Goodyear不仅是一只狗，也承载了他对于那对母子遇害的愧疚
首席政务部长的台词，律师的抗辩台词，句句值得截屏。印度电影和韩国电影相比，政治深度，已经并驾齐驱，并有赶超趋势。#20220720
情绪被配乐塞得很满，慢镜头多到想两倍速，探讨的议题也不新鲜（我们拍不出不代表主题很新）。这片子更多的分都是打给“片子之外的共情分”吧，片子本身没啥意思。
瑕不掩瑜。敢于直面血淋淋、尖锐的社会议题并公开讨论，就这一点就值得大声鼓掌。腐败、阶级、种族、性别、暴力、舆论操控，导演想讲的事情有很多，但碍于时长很多情节没有展开，用极其煽动的bgm来快速推进，有点偷懒了。这个容量完全可以展开成迷你剧，详细展开。
印度这些年的不少片让我们这边的观影者感慨：敢拍。我觉得更可贵的是，能审批通过，能上映让全国全世界的人看到——有了这样制度的前提，制片方到导演到团队，不存在“敢不敢”的问题。
影片用反转又反转抛出了印度社会的根本问题：制度性腐败，可惜并没有在影片结尾给出我们答案，甚至当观众以为律师是理性的化身之时，又通过一次反转告诉我们这一切的动机是为了复仇。影片最奇怪的地方在于，它用一种煽动式的电影语言告诉观众：不要被媒体煽动，不要被政客煽动。但是它的核心观点之一还是勇敢的，大概可以总结为八个字：去你妈的种姓制度。
这是要拍续集还是留白啊，尬在中间了……重杀一遍人犯没有必要，前面交代得挺清楚了。女老师真好看，虽然逻辑不能太深究了，埋的线挖的坑也忒多了，填没填导演自己还搞得清吗？简单点，故事说得简单点，去掉不必要的，会更好！所以那么好的题材，最后突出一个复仇吗？最后真是败笔。总体还是很值得一看的！
片子本身问题很大，前面卖关子整整两个钟头，看得我昏昏欲睡，看到 20 分钟就看不下去，今晚再看。2小时开始才揭开大幕，情节错综复杂，40分钟压缩太多东西了，主题太多，完全讲不完，重点不明确，又是革命又是政治又是贪腐又是校园政治，核心就是印度自上而下都完了。感觉印度这个国家就是个戏场嘛，就是给印度电影提供素材的
末日生存独角戏，狗狗很加分。但当科幻电影看其实算比较平庸那种。
对于糟糕的技术，我觉得7.5分是上线，最反感拖沓冗长，自说自话。
片头说这是导演的第一部作品 真的nb
