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.
我永远会喜欢“傲慢与偏见”这种戏剧模式。也会永远对“达西”先生心动。电影里will在酒吧里登台跳舞蛮戳我的。喜欢有教养有文化有钱有能力并且好看的人有什么错？所以我并不会觉得那些标榜自己找well education有什么好judge的。最难的不是你选择讲究还是将就，最难的是相遇。
或许现世真的没有这样的剧情，但谁不向往美好呢
如果露肉的人再好看一点，情节再生动一点，承先启后的再圆润一点，估计能更好看，我只是觉得难得看到的彩虹圈“姐妹情”的故事，但是光讲姐妹情也确实无聊了很多
以前我认为只有同志单纯的追求爱情，不会像直人婚姻那样追求附加值，但其实并不是这样，但凡想要获取长久稳定的亲密关系，这些附加值是前提，如果只是追求及时行乐，建议忽略这部电影。借用《傲慢与偏见》的故事框架，还是有些想法的，蜻蜓点水般的触及到那条存在于同志内部的鄙视链，但也有点避重就轻，自嗨式的沉浸在合家欢的剧情里…
同性恋什么时候才能停止drama和自怨自艾啊？
没有报很大希望和老公一起看的，结果还真的挺无聊的。太忙太乱了，大半部电影我都在问谁是Charlie？谁是Max（结果人家叫Rex）。这种当代爱情喜剧我一般当“云旅游”片子看，看看风景和各种室内空间也挺有趣的，这部也没看到啥。奔着Margaret Cho去看的，结果戏份很少。看完才发现John Roberts有客串，还专门倒带回去看哈哈。
我觉得唯一还不错的，说出了很多圈子里的现状，身材崇拜，阳刚崇拜，歧视链各种，还有一点点对感情应该持有态度的思考，不过真的只有一点点。
这几年看过太多的同志美剧或者电影都是为了LGBT的政治正确而夸张和沉重的剧情，这部剧反而感觉清新和欢乐了很多。虽然是个简单和俗套的故事，但能达到一个基本共情就很满足了，不喜欢那些为了呐喊而呐喊，为了争取而拼杀的感觉。值得一杯酒看一下下。
有点像海外版男同小时代？
很出色的通讯录喜剧了，不建议30岁以下的通讯录看，毕竟世界观差异太大了
让故事戏剧化的同时强化了演员对人物的塑造
垃圾，太垃圾了。别尬吹了。求你们了。没看过冒险片吗？
这样外景的电影能拍出来就已经是成功了，剧情不重要，本来就是个有惊无险的史实，就是可怜了那群狗。
整片浓浓说教劝你找个老实人，还有不必要的尖酸和骚味，把同志拍得这么刻板母拉拉也是一种旧观念了。只有渣男能看，其余演技尴尬。
再但是，不苦大仇深的LGBT内容，就还蛮轻松的
这么聒噪装B戏多，不就是我们喜欢彩虹的原因吗。
嗯，长到可以每五分钟check一下进度条
挺好的 挺美好的 黑不起来
happy ending一星，伯文杨一星，Zane Phillips一星。PS:这么骚的岛在哪里挺想去的
感觉回到之前看美剧寻的感觉，很喜欢看这些与自己反差很大的角色，“热情”又有“生命力”是我所缺失的。
