CineSketches_Begin Again (2013 Hollywood)

Rating: 9/10 (16 November 2014)

Size and Scale: Fits All! 'Must Watch' in a theater while you pay for friends and family! Home collection too! 10 on 10!
CineScope: One of the best Hollywood musicals of recent times. Very successful / talented Dan's (Mark Ruffalo) career is nose-diving along side a troubled marriage, making him alcoholic. Gretta (Kiera Knightly) who has devoted her teen / young life for her boyfriend's career but who has cheated on her. It's about Dan and Gretta's struggle and then beginning again successfully in their respective lives with unparalleled passion and conviction.
BFB (Bang For the Buck): Must watch for the songs, for songs Kiera sung and enacted on screen, for Mark Ruffalo's drunkard but a very passionate song producer. For the wonderful chemistry between both of them and for lots of beautiful tracks that will last in your memories forever.
My High! Incidentally both are songs: 1. Song 'A Step You Can't Take Back': Cut 1: At a bar Gretta was pushed by her friend to sing this even though she is not prepared, and she sings beautifully w/o any supporting instruments. Cut 2 – Dan in the audience at the same bar, the very moment, heavily drunk, having a great ear for the music, immediately picks up this song, and starts composing it adding and orchestrating various instruments IN HIS MIND. Directorial marvel! And he thus sees a Superstar in Gretta 2. Song 'Like a Fool': Comes at an emotional turning point in Gretta's life. Just the light bass guitar, subtle keyboard and Kiera Knightley's soft but very sad voice and equally deep portrayal of emotions. Unforgettable!
ScreenEsha Speaks: At least 2 Oscar nominations and most likely a win at 2015 Academy Awards. 1. Mark Ruffalo: Best Supporting actor 2. Best Original Background Score 3. Best Original Soundtrack from one of the above 4. Kiera Knightley: May be for the Best Actress
