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.
特别的画风，虚幻中透露着真实感，就像男孩记忆中的这段经历一样，谁又能说这一切并非真实呢？
以虚构的少年登月计划抒发编导对上世纪60年代童年回忆的怀旧之情。虽然经历不尽相同，但对少年观察世界的角度和对未知事物的好奇心是能够感同身受的。
一代人的航天梦，以回忆的形式来讲充分发挥了记忆不可靠在电影叙事中的作用，本来自己睡着了，却因为经历过，硬给自己加戏的做法给电影加了一层可爱。不过归根结底还是对60年代美国生活的怀念，都是代表性的细节点
属于那类鸡肋电影，要表达的时代情绪登月第一人已经表达过了，风格尝试方面(真人捕捉加动画特效），黑暗扫描仪也呈现过了，而借孩童缅怀青春，美国风情画也拍过了，唯一有点感触的就是结尾男孩幻想自己是阿姆斯特朗，下飞船看到了广播当中所谓描述的壮观景象，但实际上却是相当凄凉，结合尼克松发表关于全球能够和谐共存的美好远景以及电视广播当中提到保守派能够借此提升民调，你可以明显发现林克莱特是在明褒暗贬美国梦，登月这件事能够激发美国人内心的爱国热情，但这只是暂时的，就像尼克松的总统宝座在左派当道的年代终究也并不稳当，他提出的理念很快就被后继者给推翻了(包括共和党建制派)，如果要开个脑洞的话，你可以把尼克松想成是川普，而整个大环境也和现在当下局势有贴合之处，这么一想相比之前报菜名的情节，结尾反而可能是唯一的亮点
回家的路上在车后座安稳的睡着，被爸爸抱进家里（记得晚晚也说过这个细节）；妈妈把看着电视睡着的孩子放平，脚摞在自己的膝上。这样平淡的瞬间，像一条洗到有点发硬的旧毛毯却可以包裹住日后诸多苦难的避难所。
#看到末了，就很想问一句：他们穿这么少，好冷啊
The golden years always in the past.
略琐碎…美梦成真的方法就是在极度疲倦的时候观看一个喜欢的电视节目，然后努力让脑电波和节目信号同频。
很久没有静下心看过一部电影了，很喜欢这种纯粹质朴的情感，平凡又不平凡的人们。
景色美不必多说，角色的服装也很有讲究，让我在电影里看到了西藏的样子
半梦半醒的少年时代。尤其片尾字幕 说当年有个kid真的跟着去了 以及 所有人都没有回来..好吧 get到了林哥的幽默就是说
人类的童年，都是充满了替代幻想、纯洁的牛逼和过后即忘的特点。
看来林克莱特到了Netflix家，是有话语权级别的大导演了，可以这样肆无忌惮放飞自我，用这种几乎没有剧情的方式拍自己的少年时代，儿童视角罗列1960年代美国生活的方方面面。能有机会像这样子拍电影，对每个导演都很奢侈，作为导演的粉丝，好好享受就可以了。不得不感叹一句，太享受了，太浪漫了！
僧格的死让我好心痛，大好前途，不过真实生活也确实是这样无常，只能一声叹息。
就像一本少年日记，絮絮叨叨跟你讲着成长中的大小事，很具体很情怀很动人。最魔幻的一笔就是登月。整体观感相当轻松愉悦
男主拿着鸡蛋去找僧格，那里真的太感人了，没想到最后领回来的却是壮烈牺牲的噩耗，感觉男主心都要碎了
用卡通的形式，那个年代的美国孩子，都在玩些什么，很多东西，直接20年后，才在中国出现。
疫情反弹，重回云观影，感谢不散组织大家在这变异病毒肆掠的世界，再次享受到如此震撼人们心灵，鼓舞人心，感动中国的好片子。人要有崇高的追求，不能被淹没在物欲横流的物质世界。中国最缺乏的就是教育，教育才能兴国安邦。如果没有这些崇高的支教老师的奉献，以及很多胸有大爱的人砥砺前行，是不行的
我还挺怀旧的 但这个还是太私人了 评论说肯定会有一两件事引起回忆 那的确 但整体还是缺共鸣 没激起自己太多的回忆
回忆1969的美国，各方面都很细致。 和阿祖一起看完。
