Movies and Music

It's really not my style to blog twice a day. So this is a first.

Saw American Idol today, and Kris Allen's performance of"Falling Slowly" reminded me of the beautiful movie i saw in taiwan. It's the soundtrack of "ONCE".




Another music film to add. The film is really simple, not a big-budget blockbuster or whatever. But what made the film so great is the the simplicity and the very-convincing acting. You could see the spark between the two main characters, which made it so convincing. Not to forget that the music in the movie is superb.




PLOT:
An (unnamed) Guy is a Dublin guitarist/singer-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




Awards: Won Oscar. Another 14 wins & 18 nominations

So hope you guys will watch it if you have a chance. :)
