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.
还是那句话，英国人才能做到这种冷清的温暖。
911事件20周年官摄。芝麻切口的恢宏巨作，固定场景的万千变化，单时间线的犬牙交错。用相当简单的故事写实了打破国别民族宗教文化性别生物隔阂的大爱，编剧跪服。一想到这个故事在世界上真实发生过，不禁对人类多了一分信心。
中规中矩的主旋律音乐剧 #20211120
太好看了吧！每个角色都很有性格有记忆点，台词唱段幽默动人，陌生人之间的善意真美好。
四星半。片子会带给不同人不同的解读，可以有反对对性工作者遭遇的美化，可以有反对支持性服务合法化的观点，也可以看到，正是基于片中女主自我探索的过程，才无法让角色性别互换，恰恰是因为这种性别安排，更巧妙的展现了女性的困境，性只是表象，枷锁的束缚与解除才是内核。艾玛汤普森演技太棒了。
刷了两遍，对照时局更加感慨，Prayer听得眼眶发热。几乎全程群像戏的剧本和舞台调度太好了。
Oh god hope I will be rich...
其实我从来恐惧的是生理性智力的衰退
没有什么比真诚对待自己和别人更美好的事了，更没有什么比直面自己更勇敢的事了。
原以为还是老生常谈的话题，没想到戏剧张力十足，立意比同题材高很多，Emma Tompson给我太多惊叹，小鲜肉固然可口，学会自己满足自己才是王道。
911的20周年，因疫情擦肩而过的Come from away巡演，在此时完成。我还去查了一下纽芬兰岛的位置。希望能早日回归原版剧场
Emma Thompson演得太好了，非常真诚，太让人感动了。剧本是一个典型的三幕式结构，工整、清晰，在目前动不动两个半小时长的大片中，显得十分灵动。 但最重要的是它对女性情欲的探索和自我成长，sex pleasure is a powerful thing. 最后的设计，虽然predictable，但是很妙，性愉悦从来不是谁给的，而是自我发现和自我解放。 关于边界/真实与虚假的探讨也很有启发性，good luck to 每一个在探索的人。

纵然有名有利如艾玛姨，感觉也是本色出演，身为女子的烦恼和压抑让人一开场就感同身受不禁泪流。后段从单向疗愈变成双向疗愈引发矛盾就有点破坏这种宜人小品的恰如其分感，稍有点刻意。但总体是很值得看的，男主是真帅啊！
精彩到想要全文背诵。100分钟欢乐与感动的交织，更为可贵的是故事背后一个个鲜活的真实的个体。剧组仅用12名演员、12把椅子、2张桌子就将5天7000人在甘德镇上经历浓缩演绎，剧情流畅、转场自然，舞台调度令人折服。歌曲演绎也同样出色，几乎每一名演员都得到了充分展现个人才能的机会，对于各类乐器的运用和气氛的烘托也相当到位。以真实故事为背景打造的剧本，用令人信服的方式展现了小镇居民的热情好客如何冲破语言、文化、宗教的隔阂，描绘一幅灾难面前深入援手，毫无保留给予支持的感人画面。官摄唯一的遗憾恐怕就是在整体节奏的把控上，似乎有意做了放缓处理，相较几年前发布的原声专辑，听感有所下降。
哭得泣不成声的我，被姐妹差点误以为是遭遇了家暴
10 minutes in, I’m already crying #我永远爱CFA
遗憾去年国内巡演的取消，终于在9•11二十周年看上了CFA官摄真是纪念意义非凡。对比二十年前肉身被困、消沉迷茫又无助的乘客们，而今身陷疫情阴云的我们是如此的相似。同时这又是一部彰显人性之光的作品，因而在形式上也完全依赖人/演员的力量，简约而不简单的舞台、极富节奏感的编排一气呵成，数度让我拍手叫好。对于曾经的苦难若是能以这样的一种形式去记录、去缅怀，自然也必将成为一代佳作。
这是人类互助的时刻，这是悲伤的时刻，这也是欣慰的时刻。
好像看现场啊。完全想不到的切入点，演员都演得非常棒。尤其女机长独唱那一段，太励志了。
