Director John Carney, this Irish guy, the best thing is that he firmly believes that even after 7 years, the stunning "Once" that cost 150,000 euros to shoot now helps him find Keira Knightley, Mark - Hollywood stars like Ruffalo and $9 million in investment, but love still shouldn't take away the beauty of music and chance encounters.
In the first work "Once", a singer and a flower girl meet on the street. Because of repairing a vacuum cleaner, the encounter becomes ambiguous. This red-haired singing boy plays the old-fashioned way of picking up girls: ask her to record an album together, girl She is a good girl, cheerful, persistent, and knows how to say "No" once in the most ambiguous moments. What the young man gained the most in the most splendid and sweet time was a support on his shoulders - that was when the recording was at the third watch, the girl found a piano, the piano she had dreamed of, played a song, and thought of herself. In a foreign land, with her grumpy husband in the Czech Republic, she showed loneliness and vulnerability for the first time.
They didn't kiss.
The lad is leaving Dublin for London. He came to the musical instrument store where the girl played the first song again. Bought a piano and had it shipped to the girl.
"Once" is full of the shaking of a handheld camera from beginning to end, no lighting, basically using natural light, more like a documentary filming method, and only drew a movie face for the last shot: looking in from the window, the girl is happy Playing the piano, the camera pulled away, and she turned into a small picture in the red brick house. The camera panned to the right, and a quiet road and a green street garden appeared. In the movie, Dublin has always been cloudy. It started to clear up, and the light, wind and moon came to an abrupt end.
This is called restraint.
When it came to the second part, "Begin Again", John Carney did it more thoroughly: "Once", love was cut off in the middle, and "Begin Again" directly killed love in the bud.
A down-and-out music producer with several Grammys in his hands. A broken-hearted British girl originally came to the United States with her boyfriend to find a new life, but she was betrayed early. They met in a pub, and the music producer was a treasure, thinking that this was a supernova in the music world, another Adele. But the two have no money, but they want to make an album. what to do? They started recording on the street because they were simple and simple: in a poor street, on the roof opposite the Empire State Building, at home to the voicemail of their ex-boyfriend...
But they said that they saw another good marriage. Why didn't love happen?
No, no, not willing.
In the movie, there are two scenes where something is about to happen, but it is cut off by John Carney "with bad intentions". There was a section of two people sharing music on each other's mobile phones on the street. At the end, the British girl's eyes began to light up, and the heads of the two were getting closer and closer. At this time...the two planned to "go home and sit down". When I got home, it was the second paragraph. After closing the door, the British girl looked around and found that there was no one at home. The light in the eyes of the two became more and more hot. Seeing that the next plot had to be mosaic, the girl's The good friend stood up from behind the kitchen cabinet...
The red-hot soldering iron was poured down from a pot of water, making a helpless sizzle.
However, I think anyone who sees this movie can feel the "kindness" of John Carney. Douse love, keep the beauty of the original encounter in a temperature other than lust, so that after the two unique lives intersect, they will not be disturbed by the mundane things of love, hate, hatred, and when it is time to say goodbye, be dashing Waving his sleeves.
Love is not monosodium glutamate, nor should it be used to freshen up all the beautiful moments.
Over the past few years, producers and British girls may still hear this song called "Lost Stars" at some point, remembering that summer, they recorded an album on the streets of New York, this album, directly Throwing it on Itune, it sold 100,000 copies in one day. They both felt that they had done something a little arrogant.
"Last night, when we
saw
lion kissing the young deer ,
we
were all fascinated by the
stars
Light up the night sky"
