Once

Once, written and directed by Irishman John Carney, is hands down one of the best films to come out this year and, contrary to what the critics may be saying about Atonement, this is the best love story since Titanic. (Ok - not a huge Titanic fan but that is what the critics are saying about Atonement and I guarantee that movie isn't as awesome as Once).

I've haven't seen Once yet - your crazy.

If you love someone or want someone to know you love them, rent Once and tell them "miluji tě."

Once is a modern musical, for all intents and purposes, and tells the story of one-week in the life of a Dublin street musician (Glen Hansard) and beautiful Czech girl (Markéta Irglová) whose paths cross in the most energizing way. Together the two (who are real life lovers and bandmates) make the most incredible music ever, record an album and then.... well that would give it away wouldn't it. Fall in love? The movie was produced on a "shoe-string" budget and is hands down one of the most intimate films I've ever seen. You fall in love with the characters as they fall in love with each other.




That second video is so fucking powerful. Sometimes you gotta lay it all on the line, right? Tell someone you love them or live forever wondering? Picking up the mess you've left behind.
