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.
开篇的景色太美了，从来都是只在电影里见过的景色，什么时候才有机会亲眼目睹。刚开始我还没理解弹幕清一色的老师辛苦了，慢慢看完才理解这句话的含义，年轻老师不远万里去支教，淳朴善良的孩子们、憨厚热情的老乡们本身就是一副美丽的画卷，是要静下心来慢慢看的！
当初那个艰苦的条件，男主勇于去改变，这一点我真的很佩服
剧情和事件以及角色蜕变和感情的转折和发展都比较僵硬，细节磨合还差点意思。
人物挺丰满的，就算换个视角都能变成不同的故事，特别是僧格，我对他挺印象深刻的！
1. 充满怀旧感，那是科技理性和消费理性为人类制造梦幻的最后时刻。和今日的无序消极对照。2. 书写历史的精彩文本，融入了流行文化，媒介（电视、电话），个人叙事，甚至虚构，历史变得丰富多彩。3. 导演的音乐品味极佳。动画形式让剪辑无比灵动。4. 想起迅哥的社戏，再也没有吃过那么好吃的豆了，再也没有去过那么远的旅行了，童年逝去的时刻
真的拍出了童年的味道。谁没幻想过自己就是那个英雄呢？通过一堆生动细节，把时代的质感营造出来了。有一种穿越时空的愉悦感。其实不算故事片，旁白一堆。但就是有迷之气质。有趣。
琐碎对白撑起的自传电影，一般适合在电视上当纪录片放放。
看到了美国60年代的生活，不一样的童年生活，还挺有意思的，对比起来反而登月部分有点无聊了。
Back in the time when American people live the American Dream.
值得观看的电影，感觉挺适合在学校放，或者一家人一起看的。
立意不错，整部电影都突出大爱和牺牲，没有小情小爱的纠结狗血，这点好评。
挺有意思的电影，展示了60～70年代一个标准的美国家庭的所有生活细节。一大家子七八口人，节俭的父母想尽一切办法省钱。妈妈会在省钱的同时每天做饭不重样。爸爸看电影会在车里藏小孩逃几张票，偷邻居家的木板，加油时一滴不漏。
总觉得这里面的感情基础都好容易建立啊，只能说这种理想化也只有电影里才能出现了。
冷战、经济萧条、又上天了，米国怀旧且做好与天朝的新对峙的准备了吗，这也算是米国的伟光正宣教作品吧
这个动画风格第一次看，包括全片解说的电影，所以先三星码住，我认为更多的是时代的烙印，一个狂热的太空竞赛的时代，或许只有美苏两国的民众才会深有体会。
5/10。登月的梦想与童年的结合是一个不错的创意，但两者之间串联得并不好，而且整体而言就是细碎的流水账。说是听过一个孩子的眼睛去见证历史，但旁白是大人的声音，实际上只是回首往事。
太棒了！这种讲述方式很聪明，恍惚间唤起了自己童年的许多碎片，那个明媚时代，那个没办法珍惜就该溜走的时代。
虽然我是导演的粉丝，但是这部电影全程看的都很无趣
剧情和事件以及角色蜕变和感情的转折和发展都比较僵硬，细节磨合还差点意思。
他们不仅见证了登月，更见证了那个时代。继《各有少年时》重温自己的青年时代，林克莱特又在本片重温了自己的童年往事。叙事确实有点流水账，但各种60年代元素拼接在一起着实让我兴奋～
