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.
上次送毒品，这次送孩子！哪里跌倒就在哪里躺平，爱情不是物质的堆积，是心灵与生活细节的偎依
哭泣的观众～美人和英雄晚年都不要再露面了～
7.0，东木老爷子90多高龄了迈着踉踉跄跄的步伐还在自导自演，这一件事就让我觉得特牛逼；题材还是我喜欢的西部公路片，美墨边境风光一览无遗。不得不说东木最近几年的片子都还可以，但是就是还差一口气。人老了片子也跟着东木的气质变得随和了许多，简简单单的故事，阻力都被很轻巧得化解了。总之，还能看到他的电影很心满意足了，肯定越来越少了。希望他也像影片中所表达的一样，我们都须在自己生命中做出选择，只要你还选择接着拍电影，我也会坚定地看你的每部新片……致敬科林特·伊斯特伍德，那个让我爱上西部片的演员及导演……
一些瑕疵在91岁的老爷子面前都不算什么了。
这个男人太会讲故事了，没有那种极致又悲惨的结局，但更好地刻画了墨西哥的现实社会，会推荐
东木91的高龄仍然在拍片，他不知道怎样治愈老去，但每年仍为我们带来一个old school的故事，这就够了。
画内:年迈的Miko被职业所抛弃。
平心而论真的很“平淡无奇”，情节也是非常“俗不可耐”的一部片子，其中对于冲突的温柔简洁处理想来却算是对自己“力不从心”的一种别样阐述了，无论戏里戏外亦是如此。但再怎么说东木导演90多了还能坚持拍片，有这种精力也确实是令人敬佩的。
东木老爷子真的老了，颤颤巍巍的动作，微弱的声线表现片子本身的弱冲突和人物身上的无力感，不如说是老爷子自己的无力感，这就像人生，你觉得自己什么都懂，老了却发现，自己什么事都没有答案
09.23.21 Respect, Eastwood in his 90s, make me think of the the former Cap America. Whole life macho, serene eternity is all that cry for.
老牛仔的告别诗
7.5
很平淡，东木老爷子太老了，处处透露着他的虚弱。演电影确实力不从心了。整个电影算得上四平八稳，各种手法也都是经典套路，不亮眼倒也不算差。
平淡無奇，簡潔直接，但結尾有點感動。東木爺子此等精力令我敬佩，有些許幾個鏡頭很有感覺，但估計是因為老爺子體力不如以往，沒時間雕琢。他現在就是想多拍。多一部就是賺，拍下去！此外，還有一些台詞；結合老爺子年輕時的精力；對過往是有反思的。
本该是他最擅长的西部公路片，但节奏很缓慢，并不出彩。东木老爷子的确是老了，老到驯服野马只能使用远景替身+本人上身近景的方式呈现，就连说台词和走路都有一种无力感。
简介有误吧。老牛仔去带孩子的原因是他还欠着农场主的人情，而农场主当初在墨国有以前妻名义投资的产业，现在农场主想以孩子要挟前妻才有了这个故事。
1930年05月31日出生的 老东木.........永远的牛仔
看睡着了。伊斯特伍德 自导自演，公路片，70年代从墨西哥到得州，一个老头带着一个问题少年。故事核一看就很传统，虽然伊斯特伍德西部片狂野的画风不变，但这种故事有点温情，又是可以放任何背景下。在天苍苍，野茫茫的西部，这些温情反倒不搭，沧桑感和人物关系建立互相拉扯，结果都没做到极致。心疼老爷子，老爷子演的真好，但故事核选错了。
一老一小的越境之旅，很温情很有爱，在小镇里与玛尔塔一家的生活更是美好得不像话。一直担心这样暖的一个童话故事最后来个BE，幸好并没有，恭喜东木老爷子撩妹成功！那只名叫“猛男”的公鸡也是神鸡一枚，聪明护主，简直就是个狗（纯褒义哈哈哈）！东木老爷子年过九旬依然如此高产，而且每部水准都不差，有人批评本片太过温吞清淡，但我觉得就舒舒服服地讲个小故事不也挺好么？祝老爷子健康长寿继续在光影世界纵马驰骋！
真的挺佩服老牛仔的，91岁高龄还在自导自演，故事还算有趣，不会很闷
