Once

I just sat down and watched this movie for the first time. I have to say I was moved. Not blown away as I was hoping I would be, but it was a wonderful movie. Definitely in my top 5 of the year. The music was so powerful. Mainly because the main guy (Glenn Hansard), his voice is so emotional that it really drives all the songs home. (He reminds me of Thom Yorke or Maynard from Tool in that regard.) Here is the main song from the film:



What I really loved about this movie is that the main relationship was never taken it past the platonic phase. It was just this perfect thing that was emotional, but not overly so. It's the same reason that I love Lost In Translation.

Anyway, I would say that if you have yet to watch it, take the time to do so. It's a wonderful film.
