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.
没有断在中间！后面有好好讨论和用心感受男主的心理和感受。男同学质问男主好友你今天不也没摸他鸡鸡嘛你不也在知情后改变了怎么对他嘛 说得好在理。演得不好的是男主在病床上的自白 演得没感情啊。（其实应该四星但是从头到尾好几次笑出来和甜甜的女孩子都很喜欢）
根据上世纪八十年代发生于南非的真实银行人质劫持案改编。影片整体上还拍得比较流畅，尤其是开头的几个追逐镜头，场景调度非常到位，一气呵成。此案件并非简单的刑事案件，实则是有着强烈的政治背景，劫犯是南非反种族隔离的黑人，提出的条件是释放曼德拉。导演处理起来有些左右为难，既想将这起张力十足的案件拍得好看，又得兼具其政治背景，在剧情中加入许多政治元素，竭力向着有历史感的政治性影片方向引。此片后面显得有些松懈，逻辑上也出现问题，最后喊起了口号。
历史，回看时才更清晰。评判，要更久之后。影片记录的曾经的南非，那么遥远，最点亮的是剧终的黑底白字：“本片来自真实事件”
非常舒服的视角和节奏，看到最后还很感动。山田杏奈以后专门演LGBT题材的电影吧，太适合了！
不知道该怎么评价，演技的话一般吧，总体上还有一点潦草的感觉。有一些值得探讨的地方，可能因为角色是高中生所以也并没有很深入。还有不变的日本人的一些热血和中二，但是我不喜欢演讲的地方T^T
“没见过这么多不怕死的人质，个个都是戏精。”关于南非的风土人情的介绍很给力。控诉了种族隔离的制度。把钻石之城介绍给了世界。
看完好难过qaq……不过这次终于get到了神尾的颜
看完第一反应：幸好不是真的弯掰直🤣
被自己的性取向困扰的部分太闷了，是那种有点喘不过气马上就想离开的感觉，离不知不觉屏住呼吸看还差一口气。以这个点切入讨论lgbt，很新奇。太喜欢啦又是同学都是天使的童话世界，而且谁会不想躺一下神尾弟弟的大腿！！！迷人的大眼睛！还是一个被动的性格 牛啊 多多拍戏哇！
男主虽然很帅，但是因为希望有家庭有孩子甚至有孙子，才和女主交往，真的太伤人了，看的我非常来气，如果想要做homo拜托不要伤害喜欢你的人
温情满满的劫持人质事件，最后曼德拉出狱了，这是改庆祝还是……
三星半 克里斯汀不该死的 有一点难过 “自由的代价是什么？一切。”
各方面都发挥出色的电影。意外地没有人说这是白左的胜利 2022/5/4大森家
黑人有天生的进化缺陷。
她喜欢的是BL和安藤，他喜欢的是男人和三浦
又是同性悲苦情调老一套，这苦还不是一般的苦，而是fantasy的苦，作出来的苦
挣扎是蛮真实的惨绿少年挣扎，结局很理想化，然而即使是听到理想化建构下具有同理心的发言，也让人稍稍宽心。以及gay不能组建自己的家庭，请把矛头对准同性婚姻法和社会规训，不要把女性当成你们的牺牲品。纵有数十次拳头硬了的瞬间，但男主好帅，我也想飞往bl星
她喜欢看BL漫画到接受不了自己男友的BL
看完好难过qaq……不过这次终于get到了神尾的颜
真是一个宝藏女孩！
