listened to the Once OST the night before watching Once, repeating it over and over again, calmly appreciating and feeling the combination of guitar and piano in the music is incredible and perfect interpretation, the OST is really good, every song can be found in The moment when the strings are plucked quietly slips into your heart. I think that I only love female voices. I also think that Glen's voice brings a freshness that I have never felt before. I was deeply moved by Marketa Irglova's The Hill, as if a certain nerve in my heart was trembling, guessing that it should be a song written by a girl to her lover. In the piano melody played with ten fingers, you lingered about the time that passed away and told her thoughts. , recalling the past, or awakening some unknowable complex emotions.
In such a winter afternoon when the thick fog in the morning has not yet cleared, in the quiet dormitory, I finished watching Once, a simple movie that is related to love but not a romantic movie. I have always been someone who doesn't know how to sensationalize, but in the process of Once She couldn't help but burst into tears, and twice, the first time when the makeshift band of Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova finally started recording in the studio at two thousand euros a weekend. Marketa Irglova of guitarist, piano and vocals explained the small details that need to be paid attention to during the recording process. After a simple communication, the first recording of the band officially began. At that moment, my tear ducts were stimulated uncontrollably, The nose suddenly became sour, and the tears fell down suddenly. At the moment when the protagonists realized their dreams, I could feel their passion, their fearlessness when they were making the music they loved, and how they were immersed in the music. I can feel the ecstasy and unrestrainedness. Then, the perfect When Your Mind's Made Up was born in the humble recording studio. In that part, I just want to close my eyes and quietly enjoy the moving melody wafting from the headphones at that moment. ;
The second time, at the end of the film, Glen packs his bag and guitar and sets off on a trip to London with a CD made by the band. Before leaving Dublin, he goes to the music shop the two had been to on the second meeting, where he and She had the first communication and resonance in music, his guitar and her piano produced an unparalleled wonderful spark at the first encounter, everything went so naturally, without the slightest strangeness, in simple harmony Afterwards, the beauty of the piano is perfectly combined with the guitar, and the tacit understanding is born like that. Yes, it is destined to meet, and it is destined to be incredible. The first time is Falling Slowly, and it is also the last song that echoes at the end of the film. Song, bought the piano that Marketa used to play in front of him for the first time at the piano shop Glen. That expensive piano has always been a girl's dream to own. It is a luxury that girls can play for free for half an hour every day. In Falling Slowly's indifference, the piano was sent to the girl's home, and the boy went to the airport with a musical dream. At the end of the film is a happy scene of the girl playing the piano at home, her fingers flying over the keys quickly, and the shuttle beside a sudden The husband who returned to her position guessed that the life that filled her with happiness should be the piano rather than the family that was lost and found. Tears just fell down uncontrollably. After the film ended, the music continued, and my tears came out again without knowing it. Unstoppable, there was no sign of stopping, and I continued. I saw that in the Cast at the end of the film, It's Guy Glen Hansard Girl Marketa Irglova. The protagonists of the story are just boys and girls. They don't even have a name. Yes, it doesn't need anything else, but this code name is enough to support the whole big music dream.
Once is a movie that took 17 days and cost 180,000 euros to earn 10 million dollars worldwide. It is so simple that the hero and heroine have no first and last names, so simple that no traces of retouching can be seen on the actors' faces, and so simple that the camera often shoots from objects on their faces. It slides through quickly, so simple that the props in the story are just a broken guitar, so simple that the protagonists are real singers and no real actors, so simple that most of the photography uses natural light, and so simple that most scenes are improvised. It is so simple that the background is just a few scattered streets and shabby rooms. The simple plot is like a kite string, trembling in the sky. All the simplicity makes you feel the pure moving to the bone marrow after reading it. , Because of its simplicity, it brings a hard-won touch and resonance.
Once is not a love movie, and the relationship between Guy and Girl is not a love. The two people met so perfect, I couldn't help but make me as an audience eager to participate in this perfect encounter. Attracted and moved by the musical talent of the other party, only then did we cooperate again and again. This kind of attraction is very important to everyone's life. It is enough to have such an encounter once in a lifetime. The first time they collaborated, at the free piano shop where the girl went to play the piano every day, the first time they played Falling Slowly, the second time they collaborated, Guy composed a song but did not write the lyrics, the girl promised to help him write the lyrics, and the girl brought the CD When I got home, I listened to it over and over again. I heard that the battery was dead in the middle. The girl got change from her daughter's piggy bank, went to the nearby supermarket in her pajamas with the CD player to buy batteries, and then plugged her headphones into the supermarket. Continuing the unfinished lyrics, since leaving the supermarket, the girl has been immersed in the music of two people, that is, If You Want Me, which is very touching, the girl sings while walking, wearing pajamas, holding a CD player, and plugging headphones, Ignoring the amazed and puzzled eyes of others, I walked through a dark alley. On that road, there was a girl's music. If you want me, you satisfy me, it is a particularly beautiful scene. Everything in the world has nothing to do with me. Only the music I composed myself, the repeated singing reveals the girl's expectation and desire for love. After being hurt, she is still full of expectations for love. The betrayal of her husband did not make her lose the courage to live, but made her more fulfilled. She lives on the ground, works hard, works as a cleaner in other people's homes, sells flowers on the street, and earns money to support her family. Just as she said, I have a responsibility, I have to go home. The simple and poor family is not allowed to Tough, she gave in, and the older mother and two-year-old daughter lived happily and healthy under her care. The life at the bottom of society did not make her have dark thoughts about life, so when he met the talented Guy, he didn't care. He hesitated to agree to be his partner, and the two cooperated to organize a band to release a record. When doing these things, she was happy, when her fingers danced on the keys, she was happiest, and Guy gave him a chance in life , a turning point, she grasped without hesitation, instinctively, this is probably the true meaning of that sentence: You are my destiny.
In the resonance of the music, a spark between the two was when the girl played The Hill. The song that touched me the most in Once was when the girl walked out of the recording room during the ten-minute gap during the last recording. When I found a dark piano room, only a light was lit on the piano. Most people who love pianos will have their eyes glowing the moment they see the piano. Guy then went to the piano room and encouraged her to play his own songs. The girl is afraid of not being perfect, and the boy encourages, it's all right, it can be great. Girl played, OhMyGod, that's my favorite The Hill:
Looking up the hill tonight
When you have closed your eyes
I wish I didn't have to make all those mistakes and be wise
Please try to be patient and know that I'm still learning
I'm sorry that you have to see the strength inside me burning
Where are you my angel now
Don't you see me crying
And I know that you can't do it all
But you can't say I am not trying
I'm letting myself die
Satisfying you
I wish that you could see
…
Singing here, the girl burst into tears and could no longer sing a word. This should be a song written by the girl after her husband left, but because she couldn't meet anyone who appreciated it, the girl could only bury her sadness deeply and put all her love towards her. The longing is buried in the music, in the words, and in the peaceful life. Then, Guy lent his shoulder to the girl, and the girl leaned on his shoulder and released her tears with peace of mind. That moment should be very relaxing. There are people who know how to appreciate listening to their music and mood. You will meet in life. Those who know the most, the secret tears can be best vented on the shoulders of those who know best.
On the steps in front of the girl's house, the girl is listening to the unwritten tune, which is also later If you want me, the body gently shakes with the melody, and then there is an interesting dialogue between the two,
Girl: it's romantic.
Guy: yeah , it's romantic, I used to that romantic days.
Girl: when?
Guy: when I was at your age, I suppose.
Girl: I see, you are an old man now.
Guy: yeah, dying.
(girl uttered laughter)
Guy: cynical.
The girl is younger than Guy, is a single mother, her deserted husband is in the Czech Republic, and the girl is with her mother and daughter in Dublin; Guy's girlfriend leaves him, he always sings the songs he once wrote for her, watching her and her Videotapes related to the past years cannot come out of the haze of the past. Two lonely hearts met in an incredible way on a musical journey, and then sparked an unparalleled spark, nothing to do with love, the end of the film, the girl's husband went to Dublin to live with them, the girl had the piano of her dreams, With the happiness of being able to play the piano every day, Guy went to London and released records, but he wondered if he would still find his girlfriend who had left.
After the two parallel lines intersected to produce an instant light, they staggered again, and each returned to their own way, and life continued to move forward.
I have to say, this is the ending that I am more satisfied with... I missed it, it is not very beautiful.
