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.
包括装瞎子那段其实也很搞笑，虽然被抓进监狱那段有点不知所云，而且那个被扑倒的人很明显有问题吧，但是没有接着说下去。
被感动到。一直有想哭的冲动，但还是忍住了，动物永远是人嘞的好朋友，动物都是有灵的，或者不如说万物有灵。
美式翻拍标准答卷一例，想在背景、剧情细节和表演上做得更完满一些，其实反而失了趣味。
氛围营造的很不错，尤其在深夜看这电影更适合，女主和反派变态杀手男演技在线，虽然故事并不复杂，导演运用镜头音效等营造的惊悚感却很出色，整部影片可以给8分，豆瓣评分给低了
好吵的美国电影啊 一如既往不知节制直给铺满
公路風景迷人 音樂好聽 狗狗會演

钱老版脖子粗，演技更粗，没有狗狗演得好。
两个战后创伤综合症在公路之旅中找到了彼此的信任。
1个半小时的电影，没咋地呢就演完了。 太喜欢露露了。时间过得好快。
就这个剧情，还不聪明的弄个90分钟内的，多出的10分钟无意义。几段配乐不错。
最近看的第三部帅哥和狗的电影。不过渣宁在这个电影里邋遢又糟心。露露狗狠话不多。人与狗同病相怜，最后相依为命。重生的意义，互相的。

当Lulu在葬礼上跑到前主人军靴旁温顺地趴下，泪奔，还好是个happy ending
剧情比较碎片化，也都在意料之中，但架不住对动物题材的天然好感，人和狗互相治愈互相依赖的故事就是很能打动人
丹麦原版我没有看过，一个因为心理问题和执勤失职的刑警被迫在报警电话接听中心工作一段时间，这时他接到了一位被前夫绑架的女性的报警电话，她的家里还有两个独处的孩子。由吉伦哈尔扮演的刑警一定要救下这个女人，哪怕越级越权行动。全片的场景都在封闭的电话接听中心，电话另一头的人物一直没有露过脸，全靠吉伦哈尔的面部表演和台词撑起来，大段的电话对话重复的安抚和女人的啼哭让电影有些乏味。刑警处在高压之下将救人视作使命，一旦使命失败便很容易出现心理问题；应运而生的权限机制旨在分工明确，减少不同部门间投入案件的私人情感代入，这却让人缺少全局观点，情感淡漠只顾得上自己职责范围内的工作。这是一部批判体制的电影，也探讨了什么才是勇气，关注了刑警队伍中普遍存在的心理问题，看完以后回味了很久。
给狗乱喂零食这点不太好吧，还有把狗单独放车里…
和我猫也是不打不相识 可是好起来以后 谁也离不开谁 这种相互救赎的故事太懂了
讨论一条狗的战后综合症
打雷天，为了缓解狗的焦虑，看狗喜欢的肥皂剧，给狗读它主人的情书，哈哈哈哈
