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.
我最喜欢的音乐剧，没有之一。这是现代歌舞剧和现代社会的完美代表和缩影，也是人类命运共同体的赞歌。
最喜欢“Me and the Sky”和“Stop the World”.图书馆的导赏妹子太不走心了。其实我个人最关注的问题是经历了本次事件的人事后的生活，电影只是折射了一点点他们的PTSD。感动之余，还是认识到这是一个很大的社会问题，严肃到仅仅展现对人性进行歌颂是不够的。我想任谁出生在那个岛上都不会对飞机上的乘客置身事外，但是任何一个飞机上的人生活都永远不会再回到之前的状态。那个遭受羞辱的中东人、分手的情侣、牺牲的消防员，人就是同时卑鄙、无奈和伟大。
“Imagine there’s no heaven. Imagine there’s no countries.Imagine no possessions.It isn’t hard to do. ”不是吗？
非常美式正确的剧，Me and Sky里面 'Be Patient. Just see what happens.'
Too sweet. 毫无舞美的musical正适合看官摄。
视角好好，希望我也在用这样的视角，用人话讲共同记忆。
更加真实
终于看完了这版。几度流泪。我将永远相信残酷现世中存在的人性文明之光。
感觉收音有一点问题，除此之外完美得不能再完美
一面微笑一面泪流满面在音乐剧里是稀有体验，更像是属于罗杰斯和汉末斯坦的时代。但私以为，CFA和音乐之声这种剧存在的意义，就是告诉你，人可以做出多可怖的事就可以做出多美好的事。世界可以像911的纽约，也可以像911的Gander。
关于911的并不鲜为人知的另一面，足够温馨
感动的无以复加！在北美小镇上生活过真的是能够理解每一个细节，每次有人要我描述那个地方，我都称之为世外桃源——每个人都认识每个人，十年间的犯罪率为0，一切温暖与爱都是理所当然给你的。小时候不懂这些东西的珍贵，现在明白了。
歌好听，故事还行
911的20周年，因疫情擦肩而过的Come from away巡演，在此时完成。我还去查了一下纽芬兰岛的位置。希望能早日回归原版剧场
优秀音乐剧有巨大的能量！极简场景中的演员调度和一秒转场神到我了，一路O嘴惊叹。
喜气洋洋喝碗911美国鸡汤。价值观不完全认同，因为立场差异很大，客观讲是好剧，因为我是客观立场。
关于911的并不鲜为人知的另一面，足够温馨
2021.09.12 眼泪从第一首就开始流。陌生人的善意是这个世间还有美好存在的证明。
今日被影版DEH伤碎的心靠CFA来拯救了😭
