Once

I watched Once yesterday night.



The film was about a Dublin guitarist, singer and songwriter who makes a living by fixing vacuum cleaners in his dad's Hoover repair shop by day, and singing and playing for money on the Dublin streets by night. An (unnamed) Girl is a Czech who plays piano when she gets a chance, and does odd jobs by day and takes care of her mom and her daughter by night. Guy meets Girl, and they get to know each other as the Girl helps the Guy to put together a demo disc that he can take to London in hope of landing a music contract. During the same several day period, the Guy and the Girl work through their past loves, and reveal their budding love for one another, through their songs. (i copied this from imdb)

This is an indie movie, you can see it from the lighting, the angles, etc etc. So if you love a blockbuster movie this is a crap. But if you love indie movie (hell yeah i LOVE indie movie. I love MOVIES) this movie is a blast. FYI it won an OSCAR for Best Achievement for Music Written for Motion Picture for the soundtrack, and other 14 wins and 18 nominations. WOW. And really, the soundtracks are WONDERFUL AND GREAT! I guess this movie wasn't made to be a blockbuster, it's not really commercial (yeah because it's an indie movie, silly) and the story is NOT commercial. The ending is realistic, and it's not a kind of you-can-guess-the-ending-from-the-start movie. It's realistic.

Oh, and independent-movie-LOVERS. (lovers? whew) YOU. MUST. WATCH. THIS. FILM. This is a good indie movie, but i'm sure for those who love major movie (what's the opposite of indie movie?) this is a crap, and this movie doesn't have a point. SINCE I'M A BIT WEIRD AND INDIE (not really girlzzz but I want to write this because it sounds good) SO I REALLY LOVE THIS MOVIE, ESPECIALLY THE MUSIC. Oh and for those who love music very much, watch this movie. The soundtracks are won.der.ful.
