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.
前半段多角度的人物铺垫 汇聚到事发的时间地点 做得还算好 后半段的营救就有些做作了。英国空军受到直接和无情嘲讽 辩解的机会都没给。
不是我的菜。但理解这个分在豆瓣比一般的恐怖片高，因为，女的能看+没有鬼+有交待。
战争无情，令无数家庭破碎；战争也无绝对的正义，处处都是人性的碰撞；战争中没有绝对的主角，参与其中的每个人都惨遭荼毒…战争是人类共同的敌人，我们本应抵制一切非正义的侵略战争，然而如今却因国际立场人类与共同的初心背道而驰。May there be no more fxxking war in this world.
情感非常细腻。几个小朋友演的真好，尤其喜欢两个小女孩陪小男孩第一天去学校一起吃“毒面包”那段。低空飞行的片段很紧张，第一次看到这样的视角，飞速略过的海岸和城市屋顶，哥本哈根的建筑都长很像，难以分辨。结尾略显仓促但转念一想，导演可能并不想像战争片那样讲述完整的轰炸和救援，就连轰炸任务委派也是飞行员一个人查看沙盘时的背景音，所以导演的视角一直放在单独的人身上。而最后小男孩因为责任而敢于直面阴影，小女孩则在第一次轰炸侥幸生还之后想回家，另一个小女孩就没那么幸运了。。
超时空电话 黑色气球 以及反派有点菜 小男主天选之子 出彩在了最后的利落反鲨和面具上 面具居然可以分上下半分别拆卸 有点香
笑着的，或哭着的孩子们，我们的未来戛然而止，剩下的故事被一颗颗炮弹画上了句号。
类似小丑回魂的青少年惊悚片 小芬宝在五只小鬼宝的帮助下自救 同时也获得了直面霸凌的勇气的故事 节奏较慢结尾又仓促 因通灵丧母的单亲家庭和掳童犯兄弟的变态心理都要靠观众脑补丰满 如果扩充成剧集可能观感不比怪奇物语差 现在的小孩子们可太会演戏了
平铺直叙闯关片的新拍法，看到中间会越来越失望，但是最后半小时非常棒。
还能不能出来点好看的恐怖片了！恐怖片迷好饥渴啊！！！
好像没有一个绝对的主角，就像没有一条绝对的主线，松松垮垮凑在一起完成叙事。但是不乏有亮眼的片段。
为了拯救多数人，牺牲少数人。而且，精准投弹还投偏了。完全不能同意这样的“正义”。
神仙打架，小鬼遭殃，精确到小数点后上百位。
电影有着一个无比震撼的开头，知道真相的你，也会像那个小男孩一样，张开口，却什么也说不出。战机低空飞行的镜头和平民日常作息交错进行着，给人一种无形的压迫感。虽然轰炸后的抢救工作，显得有些刻意和主旋律式的拔高立意，但结合最近的乌克兰局势，仍然不失为一部反战倡何的佳片。战争就是战争，就算它是正义的，也会带来阴影，而且，对于受害者来说，永远不会消散。
“电话是响了，但是没人能听见。除了你……”
My first Hirokazu Koreeda, maybe lacking comparisons does lead to no anchor for judgement, I think it’s pretty alright, it’s not amazing, some parts can be done better but still, comprehensive in my opinion. A slight silky touch of Asian aesthetics. No political perspectives are considered in this review, otherwise it’s pretty unsettling. (WDTVB
买了票才发现居然不是三级，海报都是骗人的，并不恐怖的暖心片，走怪奇物语的风格路线，虽然小妹子那条线并没有什么卵用，但最后的兄妹聚首还是让我在昏花的泪眼中依稀感受到近乎狼家兄妹重逢的情感冲击。当然了如果反派更creepy，小鬼魂玩得更嗨就更好了
不是我非要踩一捧一，对比下怪奇那几个01-04年就出生了毫无长进的小演员（我更愿意叫他们童星），07年生的梅森泰晤士演技、表情、肢体语言动作真是甩他们一大截。一个是剧（本）捧人，一个是人捧剧。另外伊森霍克你干嘛接这本子？ 1080P 22/07/18

战争带来的灾难无法预知。
暗黑魔幻童话。占大篇幅的地牢囚禁既非《电锯惊魂1》般惊悚残酷，亦非《科洛弗道10号》般斗智斗勇，五个受害小孩通过墙上的“无线”电话轮流教男主如何一步步设计逆袭绑架犯，警探破案全靠男主妹妹梦中通灵，绑架犯除了戴个难看的鬼面外毫无压迫感（好吧开锁那里还是让人屏住呼吸的）。结尾反杀很爽，有个双屋诡计（拙劣得不算诡计，本可以误导得非常出彩的），然后就是平铺直叙的校园霸凌、家庭暴力、家人团聚等老元素。绑架犯的兄弟死得就和《闪灵》里的厨师一样冤。
