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.

如果喜欢《社交网络》，那么这部片子肯定对你的胃口。
庭审过程中嬉皮士的机智比起精英学生毫不逊色 甚至像吃了可爱多
經歷過去近兩年的種種，再看大家的評論，只能說大家旁觀是看得清，到自己身上卻又迷了。
3.5，结构能联想到《十二宫》，索金显然从芬奇那里学到了很多。影像上营造的表现力显然高于事件本身，雕刻痕迹也更重。
建议收录入学生必看电影。剧本没得说，节奏和结构都很精美；点面结合，比如那个兄弟会意图强奸示威女生的点，我这个女性观众的注意力已经被点燃了。矛盾也安排得很妙，明线是政府，暗线是两个不同的左派。审判结尾不是很燃的反抗“fuck you”，而是最偏激的嬉皮士冷静的诉说着保守宗教的道理，以及回归本心地念失去生命的士兵名字，没有为了爽而流于表面，回归了做个人都能理解的“肯定个人价值和尊严”这一人道主义思想上，可惜保守观众早就被前面的表达赶走了，留下观影的只剩沮丧的进步派。片尾的字幕把五年牢狱说得很轻松，还是肯定了美国的体制。感觉主角们还是很幸运，因为他们从来都不会因为政府的轻蔑而自厌，认可他们价值的来源不会因为政府的轻蔑而消失，我觉得社会能做到这点就算踏入可以活的门槛了。
并不存在完美的制度，还需要人心和思想来将它维持在一个可持续的状态，而凝结于全体社会中的心性与观念就是传统习俗和价值取向。当然，当一个制度光从逻辑推理上看就存在很多的漏洞，就别指望更高层次的那些了。WYT

艾伦索金式的主旋律正能量。厉害的编剧技巧把复杂的历史事件讲得通俗易懂，虽然情节上设计感很强，但台词的能量搭配演员们的演绎让整个故事看得“爽”。剪辑完全服务于剧情了，看得时候不免会想如果还是斯皮尔伯格拍或者交给大卫芬奇会是怎样一番面貌。又一次标准且优秀的剧本模板。
当更多人愿意动脑的时候，世界才会趋向和平。
剧本和剪辑确实漂亮。通过庭审过程中的不断闪回，逐步勾勒了和平抗议如何变成了暴力冲突，没有浪费笔墨在还原冲突本身上。
"That's right, we're not goin' to jail because of what we did, we're goin' to jail because of who we are!"
可以说是最自然最印象深刻的插叙结构电影。剧情 表演 结构加起来五颗星不过分，在庭审里把三个群体的故事讲清楚好牛逼。而且主题深刻“玻璃窗里是50年代，玻璃窗外是60年代”而屏幕前是2020年代，整个制度系统并没什么改变。教员说得好，革命不是请客吃饭。在美国最富足的年代，革命最多还是反战的嬉皮士和部分反父权的精英阶层，黑豹党的简单一笔也是给现在漫威里的黑豹一个大大的讽刺。Hayden所担忧的人们想到美国进步政治只有嬉皮士，一语成谶。而自己进入到体制内也不过是稀释了一点点恶臭的浓度。再借那孙中山遗言“革命尚未完成，同志仍需努力”。最后理想主义的情绪和对逝者的共情是我对这场现代公关战最大的记忆点。
同时观《One Second》，为何不能让人们知道，我们也是一步一步艰难地走到现在。每一次思想的审判和前进的背后，都写满了人生的哀伤与无奈。而这些牺牲与进步，也符合事物发展的基本规律。不能给孩子们灌输一种价值观，让他们误以为我们美好的今天是躺着被恩赐的。
“Do you have contempt for your government? ” - "It's nothing compared to the contempt my government has for me.”
而当记者提问的时候 嬉皮士的信念毫不嬉皮
没想到这种密集对白的戏码竟然比特效大片更过瘾刺激，热血沸腾，在唇枪舌剑中穿插还原事件，这种高能的对白和剪辑我之前只在社交网络和乔布斯里见过，居然都是同一个人的剧作，艾伦索金，记住这个大佬了。
不要忘了我们为什么这么做的意义。不把它当作真实，就拿来比喻。人生有太多被别的事情东拉西扯，别忘了意义。
這要重重的打醒那些老是認為美國人會為你出兵征戰的人的美夢，不要再異想天開，別劃錯電影內核的重點了。
虽然知道主旋律，但是还是看得很燃。能感觉到艾伦索金的编剧功力，有张有弛，比如our blodd, Abby在公堂上就是不说，憋死我了。但是也正因为此有点过于匠气（明显是鸡蛋里挑骨头）
