Everything begins with music

Rating: 8/10 (13 August 2016)

Begin Again is just an everyday story about messed up people in this glamour New York City where anything seem to be possible, but the reality is just not so. Yet everything can be changed just because this one song, every single moment can a pearl just because of the music.
The characters were fantastic in the film. The interaction between each of them was just so genuine, especially between Gretta and Dan. I am really glad that the film did not end up like an ordinary happily ever after. We can see that each character had grown throughout the film. It also pointed out the problems of music industry in the society now, leaving the space for audience to reflect to their own lives.
The soundtracks in the film were simply awesome. It is the music that made this film so great and relatable, and it would be a totally different story if the film went without those marvellous tracks. They gave the cold reality a bit of light, warmth, and gentleness.
