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.
篮球场斗舞，居然还是交际舞，虽然调度复杂但感受不到意义何在
视听语言确实厉害，一开场就是一个高难度的长镜头，镜头运动行云流水，看得很爽。但是这个故事啊，也太老套了。最重要的是，作为一部歌舞片来说，斯皮尔伯格也太板正了，少了一些律动。。
只能说60年后带来的光影冲击更丰富了 就个人而言唱曲的体验依旧爱不起来 但不影响ATMOS的强劲表现；幕后花絮纪录片都有97分钟...
再也不相信豆瓣评分了，真的很好看啊！！！
所以2021年了(不是已经2022了)为什么还要来看样板戏？可能也应当是属于当下的，Speilberg想要我们看到炫光产生的地方，倾听未曾被注意的声音(西语)。视线被蒙蔽，听力被破坏，语意被改写。我们努力去倾听，依然无法理解；我们努力去表达，依然言不由衷。
Wow I guess I really don't like musicals. Why can't they be less stage-y and more dramatic like Chicago? Also there's nothing more dangerous and stupid at the same time than a gang of young men who think they are cool and serious and all they end up being are violent douchebags.
啊我看哭了。莎翁伯基佬桑大爷斯大爷神！Rita Moreno长命百岁！听了几百上千遍的歌，斯大爷依然能从中发掘出新的意义，只能说你大爷终究是你大爷。编舞华丽绚烂又充满了力量感，调色和摄影都美疯了。
前半段过于糟糕。这个电影的调色真的是瞎搞。服装过于混乱。作为歌舞片甚至歌舞也很一般。失望。
除了全方位360°无死角的史皮堡对场景，演员的调度和他强大的控场能力之外全都是full shit。没看过原版，也想象的出原版多难拍，而这版因为男女主角特别是男主角演技差到一直跳戏，歌难听，演技差。一直很好奇国产剧出了个"只看ta"的功能，这一次全用在主角身上，除去主角们的狗血，情爱之外，就是一场对旧时代的拙劣致敬了。
本片既是惊悚片，又是心理片，着重展现了男主崩溃的过程，而他的命运似乎从开篇即已预告。——《法兰克福汇报》
第一次看歌舞片看到唱跳段落忍不住笑起来——“你们在干嘛？tmd可不可以不要再唱/跳了”——虽然这些元素突然出现在歌舞片里本应该是合理的。男主唱跳水平实在太差了，要是学会rap和篮球就齐活了，女主也没好多少。你能想象这样一部歌舞片主角连歌舞都搞不定，全靠老导演的调度能力撑场面吗？天呐，简直太可怕了。其他人倒是唱跳水平不错。
When love comes strong
斯皮尔伯格大戏调度精彩/ 大银幕听一遍伯恩斯坦大满足 / Anita演员魅力非常
"Everything changed in America, except nothing changed in America."
但是彼时风韵冠绝全球的好莱坞啊，现在早就不复存在了，而片子也怎么都复刻不了甚至再也无法展现那种好莱坞全盛时期的魅力和韵味，即使他是斯皮尔伯格。
看在斯皮尔伯格的份上，多给一颗星吧。歌舞剧如果本身情节不够硬核，还是不要上大荧幕了，留在舞台更好。罗密欧与朱丽叶这对智障小青年已经让人头大，玛丽亚和托尼简直是智障plus。AND男主唱功演技和人品都太差劲了。
中国真的是歌舞片坟场。这片子在北美不说叫好叫座，起码褒大于贬是肯定的。但在豆瓣简直快变成斯皮尔伯格生涯污点了。桑德海姆早期作品还很古典，罗密欧与朱丽叶的主题，这版电影和老版以及音乐剧原作的剧情都没有太大改动。古典不代表过时，况且舞美真的很强，桑德海姆哪怕不那么别出心裁，也远远高过百分之九十的音乐剧作家。
原版就除了镜头调度极其过誉，这版也就对一下政治不正确进行修正，剧情还是一样烂俗无聊，也就摄影调度勉强能支撑人看下去。
Spielberg and his endless budget only make the film visually appealing, but the old chemistry is missing. One of the drawbacks is the altered storyline does not make sense; the second half entirely lacks focus. Not even mentioning the overloaded autotune. It’s good that they cast real Hispanic actors. Rita Monroe is still killing it!! (She is absolutely terrific, but her role in the remake is a stretch. )
前半段真的很喜欢。看的过程中我努力忽略罗密欧与朱丽叶部分，把它当热血高校和斯派克李的为所因为看。好多大场面和调度都很好看，50年代的纽约穷街陋巷和街上各种凯迪拉克老爷车怀旧氛围拉满。老爷子下一部电影造梦之家感恩节上映，也是自传式作品，整个老一辈的大导演都开始人生自我总结了。有时候我常常忘了，斯皮尔伯格是个多好的导演，从近了说我们这些影迷更爱吹诺兰昆汀或者维伦纽瓦，远一点我们又爱吹库布里克。其实老爷子电影票房之王可比卡梅隆或者上一个十年冯小刚伟大多了。他依然是那个出新电影你一定会去看的导演。虽然后半部分剧情拉胯，我还是说，我喜欢这电影。当然也和我太喜欢爱乐之城有关系。甚至我之前很喜欢歌舞青春舞出我人生这类美国歌舞片，如果在影院看，前半部分会更加喜欢，后半部分感受如何就想象不到了。
