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.
我很好奇，好莱坞如此喜欢拍根据真实事件改变的电影，为什么没有找这个题材？是美国不允许吗？
“本是同根生相煎何太急”
他们那个年代的童年，丰富多彩，
小島出生的六十年代，在已經確定的歷史中，穿插一段空想，當時對未來還抱有憧憬的社會氛圍，登上月球探索宇宙時的人類共同體意識，現在只覺得懷念
我点了个想看，不小心点到看过
林克莱特最后那一组平行剪辑，将登月事件和自己当下的半梦半醒串联起来，恍惚间参与了登月事件。站在当下回望过去，每个人确都有这样的时光。
“他们上一次来的时候这里还叫伏罗希洛夫格勒”
那些无聊又快乐的童年啊
2022.3.14，乌克兰武装部队使用圆点-U战术导弹攻击顿涅茨克居民区，这样的事情在顿巴斯过去的八年几乎每天都在发生。
动画包装了一缅怀的故事 ，絮叨自念下做了个60年代的无趣梦。梦中踏上的月壤又为如今铺向了何处，不愿提及，或许也不必提及。
这个画风好喜欢好复古，把小镇生活和太空探索结合得很好。生活的细节和登月这样宏大的叙事放在一起，又有着轻松愉快的基调，观影过程很舒适啊
很好看呀，很喜欢这样的风格。孩子的幻想与历史事件相结合，非常有意思的片子。就像自己还没长大的样子。
战争永远都是残酷的，但决定战争的只有利益与欲望，从无其它！
震惊 错愕 不忍卒睹 潸然泪下 而最残酷的事情是 这一切甚至都没夸张 就因为对方说俄语 就向平民开炮 实在是没有人性的行径啊 东乌克兰民兵的反击 也实在是被逼无奈 没有宏大视角 没有史诗叙事 就是一个普通城镇里的故事 就足够让人惊掉下巴 憋屈了两个小时 最后十分钟终于稍稍开怀一下 小绿人来的还算及时 俄罗斯电影独特的色调和叙事布局 还是很有水平的 为了揭露乌克兰新纳粹的罪恶 值得五星！
被猝不及防的杀戮场面震撼。
69年德州回忆录，这些专属于那代美国人的记忆密集输出，好比橱窗里商品琳琅满目陈列但我没法与之共鸣，因为我啥也不认识，就像坐在剧场听不懂梗。不过，以孩子视角展现了虚构的阿波罗十又二分之一，有点小浪漫的
普通人如泥土般逝去。当然一旦影视化，必然会加入主观因素。但依旧不能掩盖其中的反战思想。普通人是不能独善其身的。只能做工具。
这种rotoscope的动画技术真实但又很诡异。结尾妈妈那句“how memory works”不要说就好了。总体就是一篇文章可以搞定的事情拍了一部电影。
人得服老，絮絮叨叨琢磨小时候那点事，谁逃的过呢
怀旧十足尤其是音乐，风格似十多年前黑暗扫描，真人转动画技术更为成熟，光线阴影感更好，动画制作好处多细节更为丰富，减少现实感政治性，对比纪录片一类求实风格
