flowers on asphalt

After hearing about it for a long time, I only found "Once" in the video store I frequent before the festival. It was already after the festival when I watched it. At night, I just finished playing "Fantasy 6", and it was very empty.
The movie is good, the music is good, in fact, it's all music, the screen is full of music, a room full of music, after listening to it for a while, I fell asleep, wearing a sweater, I don't usually go to bed that early, the last melody in my ears is She went to the convenience store late at night to buy batteries for the CD player. On the way back, she sang the songs he composed and her lyrics as she walked. It was a quiet song.
When I woke up the next morning, I finished it. Turn it over and over in the morning, when cooking porridge, when eating, when vacuuming, when washing your face.

Just a story of a meeting, a man, a woman, not even a story, just meeting and leaving.
That night, when the streets were empty, he sang the song he wrote, the climax of the song was like a scream,...because this is the moment you've been waiting for, and it's finally over...she came over, listened, applauded, and played on the piano. Put a dime in the box.
A dime, he said, yes, thank you. Ironically.
...? She was puzzled.
This song is not only the price. He finally couldn't stand it anymore. ...I only sang this song at night, and no one listened to it anyway.
But I listened.
That's right, but you're only giving me a dime.
Are you singing for money?
He was tongue-tied.
She smiled slyly. Who was this song written for?
Not for anyone.
... who is it? Where is she?
she left.
You play this song to her to make sure she changes her mind.
I don't want her to change her mind.

He said, I am lonely.

He's a decadent Irish vacuum cleaner repairman. She is a Czech immigrant who supports her daughter and mother by selling flowers and working as a cleaner. They both love music. A book on Buddhism that I am reading says that all actions are impermanent, and all impermanence has a cause. I don't know what caused them to meet. I don't know what caused me to meet this disc. If you think about it seriously, it is really difficult and difficult. Missing a necessary condition is the ends of the earth.
Maybe there is love, a little bit, it's just singing, it's the sound of the piano, it's an aftertaste, that music contains all the emotions, and a little bit overflows and turns into reality, something that always happens.
Love is music and life is reality.
Just like when Linghu Chong met Ren Yingying in Luzhuxiang, Luoyang, (why did you think of Linghu Chong?), if Ren Yingying is not so persistent, if there is only the sound of the piano between them, is it a more beautiful and exciting encounter in life. "Swordsman" is a good book, but I just didn't see where Linghu Chong is so affectionate and sexual. He is much more hypocritical than Yue Buqun. He never really loved Ren Yingying. , over there grinding with Ren Yingying, not only has a good reputation for infatuation, but also married a beautiful girl from a wealthy family, and she has both money and people. Actually a very realistic person.
Why is Linghu Chong involved? ?
They went to record together, and at the end of the day, he invited her, and she agreed, but in the end, she didn't go to his room. After all, the film did not let two people together, thank the director and screenwriter.
This is the best ending.

I love the supporting roles in the movie. The owner of the bald piano shop, when there were no customers at noon, let them play the piano and sing in the store; the white-collar workers of the record company suddenly picked up the guitar and sang loudly; the sound engineer was moved by the singing; his father, who hardly spoke, listened to him The recorded song, just say, when will you go?

His voice, especially the treble, is powerful, piercing clouds and heart. Her voice, very quiet, was the murmuring of a quiet soul.
Like dewy flowers blooming on the asphalt, the songs of the past...

    - How do you say "do you love him" in Czech? -Noor-esh-ho? -Noor-esh-ho? Then, Noor-esh-ho? -Noor-ho-tebbe. → I like movies because I like music: the songs are so beautiful and charming, they are the soul of the movie . The style of the video is too documentary-like. -2014.01.09 Review by China Film Archive: Once, I met a lot of friends because of the movie; now, I met a documentary director because of the movie.

    One is repairing vacuum cleaners during the day and performing on the street at night, and the other is a single mother who makes a living selling flowers. They eventually overcame many difficulties to form a band for their musical dreams. They will use the most sincere performance to change the stereotypes of well-known music producers. . It's a music-driven movie, starring Glen Hansard as the lead singer of the Irish band The Frames, which I haven't heard of yet.
