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.
本片是克林特伊斯特伍德罕見的失手之作，從情節設置來看，有點像老年版本《完美的世界》，並利用伊斯特伍德的過氣牛仔身份，試圖營造一種英雄遲暮，捲土重來的現象。只是該片根據七十年代的小說改編，已經不存在太多新意，而伊斯特伍德的導演手法也未能彌補如此蒼白的流水賬式敘事，甚至有一種無力感。而且伊斯特伍德一如既往輸出自己的雄性魅力，讓人不禁懷疑此片僅僅只是為了滿足他的那種大男人式自戀情懷而拍攝的。
咖啡馆投影仪想看91年那部结果点出来是这部只能硬着头皮看了QAQ
被野心反派顶上利用虽然是典型动画电影的套路 我倒是不介意用在亚当斯一家身上 Lurch弹琴小细嗓哈哈哈哈哈 Fester变成章鱼之后身上还有油花反光的效果天啊 依旧日常式姐弟相杀和满满的吐槽梗 每个人都是不可或缺的唯一
东木老爷老了啊老了，不过依然有魅力，“是个好人”。一段旅程，让老少都找到了自己的归宿，少的和他爹交代的有些语焉不详，但重在旅程吧。
故事有点一般了 星期三如果能读心 直接读boss心不就完了吗😓开头全文完
依然跟近十来年老爷子导演的不少作品一样更像是一部“成人童话”，能看到《完美的世界》跟《老爷车》的影子。其实真要说的话这部的水准在其导演的电影里可能只能是中等甚至于中偏下的，可是实在是太想念这种“一老一小还带个非人类动物角色”(那只公鸡堪称“抢戏大神”，就是没能再让其在这个故事里多承担一些分量)的故事配置了。故事线简单明了，可处处透露着一股藏不住的真挚(这种情感上的拿捏也算是东木老爷子最拿手的之一了)；当然，这样直白到有些过于平的故事可能也是考虑到了老爷子的实际年龄，毕竟头一次感觉到他说台词的时候真有些“有气无力”了(有段驯服野马的戏都是远景，估计也是因为只能用替身上了)，不得不感叹尽管老爷子依然健朗，可还是服老了。三星半。
Fancy this kind of bonding.
融合了很多东西，但是剧情就一般了老套路，借鉴了周星驰百变星君的创意，总体中等吧
我还是蛮喜欢这亚当斯一家，黑色幽默还是蛮多的，只是剧情稍微弱了一点，还是可以看看的。
看1的时候真的好惊艳，莫非2有点审美疲劳，感觉故事过于单薄了
但还是不得不佩服他，又一次，本片两个成年女角色都对年迈的他青睐有加，啧啧。
How to cure old? 在不断地上路逃离的时候找到良方。老Eastwood自己的沉稳作为电影的变奏，所有过往的追逐紧张都令人哑然失笑，于是这部电影成为他对于自己的一次破解。
这是我在电影院大荧幕看的第一部老牛仔，也是我看过的第41部老牛仔的片子。看完后心情很复杂。老牛仔身型不再矫健，动作不再敏捷，情节不再丰满，剧情不再跌宕，冲突不再激烈，但仍旧有硬汉与柔情，美人和少年，最重要的是，仍有老牛仔。马骑，斯泰森牛仔帽，牛仔装服，牛仔靴的大特写，篝火，直面“警察坏人”的大杀阵站位，一只mini手枪，等等元素无一不让人怀念50多年前的那位叱咤南加墨西哥边境的超级独行侠。“I used to be a lotta things, but not now”是老牛仔对自己整个职业生涯的致敬，也是对自己龙钟之态的妥协。91岁的老人，怕他摔着磕着碰着，仍却坚持演绎，还能过分苛责他什么？从没见他在荧幕上说那么多话，从没见他哭过，也从没见他笑得那么童真灿烂，真的是在向自己和观众告别了。
东木年纪越大，电影中渴望温情和解的情节越来越多了，纵然如此，只要他还拍电影就好。
太失望了。看到一半就开始玩手机了。。。然后就 不想看了。。。。情节感觉东拼西凑，硬扯到一起，什么尼加拉瓜大瀑布。不知道主题讲的是什么。
合家欢电影，人物刻画更多的吃设定。没看过前作的话不太友好，会一头雾水。不过，作为轻松愉快的电影观看体验还算及格。
非常混乱的一部，但是百分百Wednesday就很吸引人了！
what the fuck ?
已经没有了表达欲，只想展现铁汉的柔情，看着这个年纪的东木老爷子自导自演，也未免不是一种见证历史。
我真的受不了合成兽，那个鸟出来的时候毛骨悚然
