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.
有些任务和使命或许是不值得完成的 @ AMC Bay Terrace
大学生的那条线太假了，其他的都还好，轻喜剧设定，可看。
工作了一周之后看着会很开心的电影，总是羡慕比我聪明又人好的人
7.0分/ B+。有人陪伴一起“疯狂”才是最令人羡慕的。以及还是根据真实事件改编。
（剧透预警）作家微笑着分手，有理有据，平静温柔，看透这段关系的实质也深刻理解对方，并以杀手锏c’est la vie作结，轻易说服了屏幕前的你，想着这也许是夏日恋情结束的最好方式，顺带意识到电影也快结束了。然而少女追身而起，捧起对方的手腕渴求熟悉的气味，简简单单一句“我不同意”，所有的理智都土崩瓦解，她们拥吻在缓缓关闭的电梯门里，消失在视野中，徒留观众在片尾字幕前错愕又惊喜。此番结尾让人想起侯麦《冬天的故事》。
数学属于技术范畴，我为人人，你中有我的为人处世方式属于综合实力。很暖的故事，晚年生活参考样本。好几次提到Steely Dan ,就把他们的歌翻出来听了，美好得不像话，就像这部根据真事改编的电影一样。
wu!看最后眼睛亮了是有2的
数学好+胆子大+good heart=活该赚大钱！就是好羡慕，我也好想过这种天天数彩票的日子……
“在买彩票之前我就中了头奖”
老白和chuck同时出现，叫古德曼情何以堪。 片中彩蛋“你俩该不会是大毒枭吧”
前面蛮无聊的，本来想打三分，后来感觉有点哲学:错误促使了别人的幸福那回到过去还应该修正吗 觉得em有点意思
Anais横冲直撞，破坏力十足；她自我、责任感缺失；干啥啥不行，作精第一名，是当代废柴文青的集大成者。可讽刺的就在于，最后还是她赢。（二刷更喜欢了
Kind of“盛名之下，其实难副”… PS：矮个子那个真的不是乔佩西吗
好久没有看到这样老套充满人情味的故事了，结合疫情背景下更显得珍贵，生活中有比钱和赢更重要的东西值得守护。
很好看～很感人～mr white还是那个mr white
过分的娱乐性大大削弱了故事的真实性，溢出屏幕的商业喜剧味给邻里美好和纯良品质撒上了厚厚一层霜糖，功能性对手外全员真善美，俨然一篇变相的童话，刺激感不够温情来凑，作为信息源的媒体报道部分几乎也被抹尽了。不能说不好，只能说原本更期待的是一部传记风的严肃电影。（海报一眼就明确了影片风格，我在想什么。）
让我想起了去世的爷爷，以前家里抽屉里一叠叠彩票，一本本彩票计算书，可惜生活不是电影，允诺的新房子，也只是自以为会中的彩票奖金，成为了美丽的谎言。
温馨愉快的电影，乡村蓝调的配乐。退休老白借着概率学博彩票的机遇，重燃了爱情，笼络的儿子，更是帮助小镇重建了爵士音乐节。剧情还不错，就是太平淡了点
emmmm……可以理解为是一部讲解巴斯光年这款玩具的原型由来的讲解动画，里面的猫咪机器人玩偶是真的可可爱爱。
加油站超市老哥问你们是毒贩吗？我就在幻想这是老白的另一个宇宙，比毒师和检察官更好的结局。
