Once

 Once in a lifetime Occasionally, human beings come together to create something greater than themselves; Once is just one example. This is a modern day love story that's impossibly original and classic. Like first discovering, chocolate, sex, or our favorite sonnet this movies envelopes and fills with rapture. The music is a sweet cherry a top. My god! I do believe in the human race once again! "This mystery only leads to doubt...and if you have something to say ... say it to me to now..." Wonderful film...amazing music! I finally saw this movie with 2 friends last month after waffling about it for awhile. I'm so glad I did. It's visually intimate -- the camera work makes the environment seem more real. The relationship between Guy & Girl is also wonderful as they don't cross that line that from friends to more -- its not some mushy happily ever after ending in the way most romantic films end. But the best and most important part of all is the music. It's stunning and moving -- I bought the soundtrack immediately after watching the movie and just saw Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova play the Beacon Theatre last night -- its even more amazing live. Highly highly recommend this film and its soundtrack! :) Simply brilliant! Simple and spectacular. This is without question the best film of 2007. Glen and Marketa put on amazing performances...especially considering they are musicians, not professional actors. It's a beautiful love story that is simple on the surface, but has many deep layers. I fell in love with this film last summer and cannot wait for the DVD release. Seeing Glen and Marketa in concert only made the experience and my love for this film that much sweeter. A Gem!! A truly amazing film... Glen is brilliant and Marketa is perfect!! A great movie to watch again and again with a cup of tea (or a glass of wine). Don't let this beautiful film pass you by!! | |||||||||||||
