I thought there was no hope.
I thought there were no answers.
And then I found God,
God may not always be on our time.
But he's on time,
We're never alone.

-Sir? Go, have a talk with God .
-Right, man, okay. I'm gotta have a little talk with God, all right? And thank you! What if he doesn't answer?

The timing of this conversation is clever when Dan just got fired, With wife Miriam not being able to untie the knot and daughter Violet in a rebellious period, this is the only sombre tone in the whole film, the reason why I say it's time is clever because God does have been on time appeared and he answers actually.
The name of the film is "Begin Again", to be honest I don't really like its Chinese translation "Music Changes Life", I prefer its literal translation "Begin Again", this is a belief, in life When entering a downturn, there is a belief that one day it will be possible to start anew; when there are differences in the maintenance of a relationship, the attitude of the two parties at the moment determines whether each other can start anew.

That's what I love about music. One of the most banal scenes is suddenly invested with so much meaning. All these banalities, they are suddenly turned into these beautiful effervescent pearls. I've gotta say, as I've gotta old, these pearls are just becoming increasingly more and more rare to me.
(What I love about music is that the most mundane scenes in life suddenly have so much meaning. All those trivial things, they suddenly turn into shiny, flawless pearls .)

Like many music lovers, Gretta engages in music creation when she is inspired, and doesn't need to wrap it in money, and she doesn't need to think about who to write the song to, she doesn't need so much pressure, just when the desire to create occurs. When it comes to expressing your feelings in the form of songs, it is good. A good singer-songwriter meets a good record producer, the potential between them is immeasurable, and then there are countless creative feelings. They record songs in the streets and alleys of New York City and subway stations, and the breath of the whole city appears in their music, without too much capital investment, without too much packaging, exaggerated singing skills, along with the breathing rhythm of the city, release inner joy.

Woe is me.
If we're not careful, turns into reality.
But don't you dare let our best memories bring you sorrow?

The X-mas gift Gretta gave to Dave was this song "Lost Stars", but with Dave's utilitarian approach, Gretta found that the way the two treated music deviates, perhaps just like this relationship can not be maintained. down.
There are many begin agains at the end of the film, Gretta's life starts over, Dan and Miriam are reconciled, and Dan is fired again and life will start again. When I was watching the poster, there was a sentence on the poster that said Guarantee to put a smile on your face, not only after watching the movie, but in life you should smile more.

    The modern city is small and fresh, telling stories in every corner of New York. The idea of ​​capturing the sound of the city is great. I really hope that the band can have more passages, not enough. Of course, compared to "Once", this film has been polished more American, and many edges and corners are gone. And the songs I used to listen to are better... In addition, KK's clothes are particularly good-looking! !

    When I'm bored, watching a movie like "Songs Change Your Life" is a relief. I remember that Keira Knightley has always been so skinny that she has no chest. After watching this, it proves that the memory is not deceiving; , looks very beautiful, forget it after reading it. You can watch this one and "Once Upon a Time". There are so many talent shows in our country, but we can't make a music movie; we have such a plausible youth, but we can't make a decent youth movie.
