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.
可惜即使旧地重游，也无法时光倒流。少年狂，中年丧，为赋新词强说愁，人间正道是沧桑。
但也确实是文字先行了，很容易感受只是扁皮，尤其是倒叙结构最后被破坏。可以说是各种回忆的叙述方式都存在了。镜头语言和音乐也有滥用。时间感的处理也有点不明显。
很有个性的笔友哈哈哈哈哈哈哈谁本人 您这不是成为社会成功人士了吗 另一边也结婚生子过上普通生活了 哪里没成为大人了
過往遇到的人成為現在的你。
没大看懂电影想表达什么。慢慢接受自己变得普通？不，我不认为自己普通，工作上收敛光芒，生活里独一无二，我的世界里只有我，是不是“普通”有什么关系？
有人说是什么“亚逼”片我就来看了，结果我发现我对看出网友的玩笑能力这些年一点进步都没有。
从大人慢慢倒回到青春期，清晰地看出来我们是怎么在长大的过程中从天马行空才华横溢变得普通，男主演各个年龄段的人都不违和有点厉害。
真的，很普通呢。
新年第一部五星。。。我们都成了普通的大人。。。
近年隔一阵子就出来一部用怀旧表达人生迷茫的中年危机电影，这部里的各种要素实在是太烂熟太套路化了（
70分。1）想起《薄荷糖》来了，但却记不得《薄荷糖》讲的是什么了。2）谁不希望时光倒流呢？3）我一直在想你
普通得，久久没办法呼吸。
ps:真的很喜欢这部电影的色调，以及优子已经到了专攻妇女角色的年纪了嘛~时间过得好快呀。再看看我的人生，当初那些豪言壮志好像一个也没完成呢。
真的很普通，亦或许是睥睨生活，亦或许是无奈自嘲。电影对于自己产生了很大的共鸣，我曾经和香织说过同样的话，或许有感染他人吧，唯一不同是自己未挣扎就选择了躺平，回溯时光唯一剩下的就是那点碎碎念，不过话说回来这种丧感，我还是很喜欢的!(ps:从抖音主播 宠物观影日 那里了解到这部电影的。)
「真的很普通啊」曾经是她的口头禅，多年之后，她过上了普通的生活，这句话却成为了他的执念。
采用倒叙的方式，仍然是丧的文化，无可避免的成为普通的人，但是对比不是很强烈，比如痛苦，梦想，感觉主角没有什么理想，只是不知不觉成为了一个普通的大人，
后面回顾短暂的片段的时候还是哭了，成为一个正常的人多幸运又悲哀
影像质感非常喜欢，恍惚间连接了我的回忆、幻想、感知细胞中的日本。隽永的凄美感。话说那条商店街是我曾经战斗过的神室町吗！
我被击中了，被一把透明的利剑穿透，悲伤顺着剑身滑入身体。我们终将会变成卑鄙普通的大人，就像我们终将死亡一样
因为一开始就知道现在的样子，所以倒叙着感觉到大家的变化好像也觉得理所当然，但是其实大家都想成为有趣的大人过。最后一个人漫无目的地在深夜的街头走着，觉得自己还是无法成为大人。感觉这个电影大概是除了我这类人绝对看不下去会睡着的那种电影。
