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.
虽然有李美琪和神盾局长，也是一个简单的杀手复仇的故事，不知道编剧为什么硬是整得玄乎的，真是化简单为懵逼，无法信服，感觉是国内编剧的手笔。
没有前两部精彩 但是期待后面说的人物传记什么的
前段铺垫偏长，细节交代不明确。需要对Aretha Franklin 生平所有了解的人，可能更容易产生共鸣。很喜欢影片中所有融入的Jazz元素。也为最后，Aretha坚持promote church music所感动。这影片让人思考很多，个人的追求，家庭的束缚，以及爱情婚姻的选择。
一生最喜欢三大歌手之一也有传记电影了！号称滚石第一人也该有部了。不知迈克波顿何时。。。。
和大部分音乐人传记片一样，拿掉音乐部分很平庸
5.6/10，从刀疤的身材可以看出，监狱伙食太好，主角团已经压根不想再逃了。
都系噉啦，起码唔算烂尾。“滚筒哥即系滚筒哥，碌得耐系唔同嘀嘅” 想投票睇张继聪嘅番外篇😅
从第二部开始看。但不知道为什么能拍到第三部
真的烂!但也真的上头!续集!番外外传gkd!
Cineplex. International Village. 这个世界上真的有“开口跪”活招牌的话，aretha franklin就是了。毕竟是能把奥巴马唱哭的灵魂歌手，在她身上你会气馁的发现，原来很多事情是讲究一个词“天赋”的
最后的彩蛋加一星，拍到正片里面的话就可以在一众音乐传记片中脱引而出了
中规中矩的传记片。女主角很认真的表演，很用力的卖唱。3.5星
7.
1.刀疤越来越胖，滚筒越来越和蔼可亲。
其实三部都算是有诚意的小制作喜剧，不用对此太苛刻，电影只为博人一笑，你笑了就是赚了
5/10。吴卓羲这个扑街转变太突然，角色写得不行，与其一次赶拍几部，不如好好搞剧本。
哎喲 這個拍得真是有點…感覺心思都花在了怎麼把名曲都塞進去。不過台下柔弱、迷茫、輕言細語和台上充滿力量的歌聲的鮮明對比很喜歡。原來這些歌都是這樣寫出來的。覺得那種歌詞簡單、大量反複的Gospel真是很容易能聽出來唱的人是否心誠。[瘋狂哭喊為什麼要把 I say a little prayer 拍成那樣的情節來展示啊，從電影一開始就開始醞釀來的……] [歌曲加一星 Jennifer Hudson唱功加一星]
Cineplex. International Village. 这个世界上真的有“开口跪”活招牌的话，aretha franklin就是了。毕竟是能把奥巴马唱哭的灵魂歌手，在她身上你会气馁的发现，原来很多事情是讲究一个词“天赋”的
有这样的嗓音和唱商真的是老天赏饭吃，让普通人只能羡慕再羡慕。因为充满灵魂的演唱就已经让我哭了好几次了。
讲了Aretha Franklin人生的几个片段。The music moved me.
