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.
这部电影还让我想到两部国产电影，一个是《让子弹飞》，张麻子上任之后伸出三个指头：我上任只办三件事，公平！公平！还是他妈的公平！另一个是《我不是药神》——这部电影火爆网络引发热议，我们真的太缺这个了！
它是真实事件改编，我为这份真实而感动。但是对于印度真正的底层人民而言有多少人能看到这部电影，有多少人能因此改变。这更像是顶层人民的自我夸耀，希望能多做些实事吧
根据真实故事改编。地狱空荡荡，恶魔在人间——赤裸裸展现了印度种姓制度的劣根、强权体制的阶级压迫。不作任何渲染的镜头下，是纯粹而可怕的野蛮暴力，是单纯善良的劳动人民手无缚鸡之力的悲哀。
毕竟过了看这类影片的最佳观影年龄，始终有种跳戏脱戏的感觉，哈哈
黑警虽然可恨，种姓制度虽然让人愤怒，但起码律师上街不会被寻衅滋事，农妇维权不会被恶意上访，高等法院判案不需要看谁脸色。
走投无路的小民，在正义律师的帮助上走上维权之路。
电影开头的片段就让人感受到扑面而来黑暗，但我觉得当事人以及低种姓人经历的是深陷泥潭，淤泥从“四面八方”袭来淹没五官而造成的黑暗，而电影拍出来的是：太阳每天东升西落，矗立前方的庞然大物却遮天蔽日，在某一天它偶然弯个腰低个头或被人撬动后，阳光将会驱散其后终年的阴暗。
70 本来想说咋你们印度人也搞这种“青天大老爷是好的坏的都是下面的”套路，但是吧... 算了。
根据真人真事改编。比所有“最美检察官”、“第一S记”等主旋律人物传记震撼有力量得多。
低种族出身，就像剔骨难消的出厂设置，在印度成为低劣人种、品行败坏的刻板标签。此种语境下，遭受黑警惨绝人寰的暴行依然坚守自己清白的丈夫，成为穷途末路上捍卫自身正义的献祭者。始终拒绝和谈、不向当权者低头的妻子，仿若莅入人间炼狱、争取平权社会的湿婆真身。而以良知和专业毅然对抗国家机器的律师，外加不愿同流合污的督察组成的双雄搭档，最终成为印度腐朽司法体制的破局者，奉献了这场属于“贱民阶级”的公正胜利。文本依然很印度，法庭抗辩和调查取证过程紧凑而跌宕。就是前情铺垫和歌舞混剪显得拖沓冗余，如果去掉奇观化、风情化表达，剪到120分钟会更好看。
Chandru要是换个国家当人权律师，可能会落得像Rajakannu一样被打死在局里的下场。
男友气呼呼说他小时候最讨厌风间了 风间会想为了达成目的抛弃朋友 我好不忍心告诉他 好多时候 我在生活中 就是那个风间 我也想改啊 可感化我的新酱呢
社会环境感觉跟这个时代有点脱节…1.0的直白和煽情，always一言不合就唱跳…8.7分 ？就这？？really ？？？这还是豆瓣吗…另外也忒tm长了
印度低种姓这种按照种族划分人群的制度至今依旧存在，影响是根深蒂固的，极其负面。影片基于这样一个背景，揭露这种体制下种种不公正待遇。一个抓蛇人含冤入狱被殴打致死，正义的律师克服万难，冤情才得以洗刷。但凡有关人权的议题，都与我们无关，一个在我们这无从展开的话题，就连探讨别人影片的内容都成了禁忌。递刀子这事肯定不能干，别人拿着刀子自己捅自己，我们驻足观看都不行——这就是现行审查制度铁一样的逻辑所在。与后来的《宿敌》立意接近，关照现实，意义深远。就表达方式和技巧而言是陈旧的、甚至是落后的。
男人娶了个有骨气的妻子，女人嫁了个有骨气的丈夫，最后她也没有放弃他，而他也真的为她盖了房子……表面上杰伊比姆是这个电影的主角，但更让人内心汹涌的是女主，她没有任何背景可以支持自己去对抗权威，但她却没有害怕，也没有受诱惑，无数个节点她都可能放弃而撤诉，但她没有。正因为她，这个案件得以存在，让我们看到了人性最原始却也最耀眼的光辉。
虽然这样说很狭隘，但每多看一部印度片，就越希望离那片可怕的土地远一点。是真的从心底发怵。
到现在张口就来的种姓制，步入社会几年才算明白，在一些民智未开的地方只不过换了个看起来更高端的样子存在：士、X、工、农、X
警惕印共打黑警牌。太冗长，结尾真把律师当意见领袖了，欧美也不敢这么吹。
本该扫除罪恶的人却制造罪恶，是罪恶中之最。
人命真的像草芥…案件非常好，但拍得挺拉的其实
