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.
惊悚元素运用得比老版好，但剧情还是很鸡肋。
就⋯shallow and boring⋯
当下有太多把种族主义放于电影中的作品，但大多都显得刻意而多余。然而在本人看来，这次翻拍的糖果人却把两者融合得很好。
影片充斥着矛盾的概念和表达，candyman如果说是少数族裔仇恨和不公的复仇化身，男主的身份和变身的过程就隐含着一种刻意和恶毒，为了恐怖效果而本末倒置，非常可惜。
是种族问题 但看了电影还是不知道你在讲什么
就还行吧，没注意到是乔丹皮尔作品，否则就该知道铁钩上的wasp应该是WASP啊
08.27.21 The camera language is amazing! Some really talent perspectives shooting from the city and buildings. 'Get-out' style build-up and slow burn. What an awesome thriller work.
皮条客和“小三”通过性联系在一起的故事，如果两个人有什么感情，也是对比自己高一层的那个阶级的向往，绚烂的手法拍了一个最俗套的故事。
又是对着镜子召唤 啥啥都是镜子的锅 对着镜子骂街能出来啥？
存在这么一系列明显的“社科电影”，它们在影片中大声朗读出议题，并标记了一整套符号体系以凸显其主张——但它们偏偏是叙事性的；于是，故事成为元素，能量在积聚前就被指向，议题在丰富前就已固定，观众并不感受、并不观看，而仅是阅读。本片对中产社区生活的精致指向如同其所批判的内容一样虚伪：这只不过是另一立场的宣言，以及名为痛苦的痛苦
yeah,yeah,胜在无聊。92年版本就不咋地，重启的更废。直接续集，意义太过明显，要传承，要继续续集。避免不了的黑人种族议题，白人至上主义，无聊。
感覺各部分比較割裂，不算恐怖也不社會，也沒看太懂⋯⋯
惊悚元素运用得比老版好，但剧情还是很鸡肋。
这很芝加哥
恐怖片就别加社会议题了，用candyman的形象能吓唬住谁呢。
用恐怖片进行政治表达当然可以，但应该认识到的第一件事就是，主题表达的冲击力和全片的恐怖程度，是直接挂钩的。
赞美影片的镜头！首先是多段穿插剪影的表现方式，有种内敛的震撼力。然后是构图，不管是男主角独自走在曲折的回廊里，镜头由下往上使得四壁给人以不断挤压的狭小场面，亦或是相对镜子里呈现无数映象，高楼大厦中一扇窗上映出谋杀现场等的宽阔场面，都十分具有张力。
温子仁不拍恐怖片了，乔丹皮尔的种族隐喻却玩起了超级英雄式的灵异戏码。黑人对白左的仇恨和守护意识，被受难的同胞亡灵继承，从地狱的业火中苏醒化身为“黄蜂侠”…
一部黑人血泪史 糖果人和隐形人设定相像 都是你看不见 但危险就在那里 观众比角色更能感知危险从而加重了惊悚 以及通过媒介在剧情设定和摄影上玩花样（镜子-任何反射的东西/衣服-任何能覆盖或沾染的东西）
布景很精致，他们的公寓都好漂亮。BLM主题，故事平淡，完全没有惊吓点，作为恐怖片不合格。工作日白天去看几乎包场。
