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.
电影中睿智犀利正义必胜。。。
“我做错了什么？” “你生来有罪。”
还是爽文模式，有效，但看多了也觉得无趣，虽然是真实事件……
对于痛苦越来越惧怕，不过我知道自己不能活在国泰民安的自我麻痹里
拍的像电视剧，但很好，我们的电影可以多一些社会问题的内省吗
资本主义国家的好处是什么都可以拍，但是拍了也没什么用。制度问题说到底还是人文问题，任何制度都是在人的操控下进行，人文落后，制度也无法挽救。最终救赎部落男子的，说到底，还是良心二字。可是，又能如何？印度的问题仍旧比比皆是，当人文落后，每个人都习以为常，良心二字又能起到多大作用？印度的种姓制度不毁，根本无解。
看了这部片子觉得印度是有希望的，更加尊敬印度。
对标《辩护人》足以说明本片的优秀，在这种着重体现底层疾苦，展现个人对抗体制的电影，印度这方面属实有些技艺。当然了，对于细节推理这些展现，就确实有些牵强了。尤其到最后的判决戏份，猛然间出现的侦破证据，就会显得比较啰嗦，和画面上的多余。因此我是觉得，电影可以稍微删减点，把重点全部放在体制对抗上，少点悬疑——尤其是这点悬疑早就埋不进观众眼里的时候。
音乐铛铛铛的往观众脸上砸，其实是降低电影现实主义力度的。
这是真实事件改编吗？前半段真的太绝望了，钱德鲁正义之光。
即使我们调侃他们“干净又卫生”，不得不说人家的电影真的很会/能拍。
为什么会选择性无视突兀的歌舞和转场，还有一塌糊涂的剪辑节奏，时长？
苦难，会降临在这个世界的每一个角落，有的就此埋没，有的，因为一些人的努力，让世界变得美好一点。电影里的部落，电影里百折不挠的律师和老师，电影里那些哭泣与叙述，都让我们更加的深刻认识到不一样的世界，不一样的角落。
有些电影的社会意义早已大于了影片本身。
毫无疑问，印度至今存在着非常严重的性别歧视和种族歧视，甚至可以在这里用一个“最”字。但印度社会允许质疑的声音发出来，也允许挑战这些不公的个人英雄主义的存在，还允许人们揭开旧伤疤看一看它究竟长好了没有……这就是他们的希望所在！
在有些地方，这种律师的出现是会被人肉被网暴被诬陷被威逼利诱被跨省追捕被消失的吧…
正义不会迟到的 不过前提是要争取 故事很好 就是拍摄手法没那么多电影的质感
低种姓演员的本色出演！苦难使他们不需要演技！给了观众好的结局，让我们对世界对人还抱有希望，但黑暗的现实仍在继续，低种姓和贱民仍然活得不像人！这个奇葩的国度！
一个每年拍2000部电影的国家，“世界上电影产量最高的国家（请注意，是最高，不是最高之一）”，99.5%都是打发时间的爆米花电影。
要对手中的权利和身上的责任有敬畏之心，正义和罪恶有时候就是一线之隔。
