A tribute to music and love

Rating: 9/10 (14 October 2014)

Keira Knightley, an artist for whom I have so much love and respect, and Mark Ruffalo an actor I've been watching with a lot of confusion. I was more curious about the mix, than the movie itself. With a trailer not giving away much, and a Adam Levine I can't trust with acting, watching this movie was a choice I made actually to find sleep. But what a good surprise! Begin again is a tribute to good Music. Dan (Mark Ruffalo), a producer who's fed up with the lack of consistency and depth in today's music, struggles to convince his business partner of his point, and decides to just quit. In a hopeless try to drown his pain at a bar, finds Gretta (Keira Knightley) singing with a guitar the exact music he's been looking for. At this point It may seem like a classic boring scenario where a producer discovers what's going to be the revelation of the year, sign her, they sell millions and win awards, but it's not. It's more than that, it's not even close to that. It's the quest of finding oneself, falling in love again with people that matter, and paying a tribute to good Music. I talk about Music with a real band playing drums, violin, cello and piano. The music full of love and joy and magic of the enchanting Frank Sinatra, that Michael Buble and Norah Jones tried to save for our pleasure, and that we're dying to listen to today. As a bonus a very sweet OST.
