made me trip to Ireland

Rating: 9/10 (28 February 2012)

Whenever I watch Once, I'm always moved by the beautiful musics, places, story, and so on. Most of all, the musics and Ireland described in Once are just incredible. I still remember the scenery and people of Once by listening to all musics in it. And this movie is the reason why i decided to go on a trip to Ireland. I visited Dublin and Killiney, and got inspired a lot. dropped by the spot where Glenn played guitar and first met Marketa. There were lots of musicians who are very passionate about musics. The street was full of joy and passion toward arts. The movie just describes the usual and real Ireland as it is. i think this is why Once got loved by a number of people from different countries.
Oh and there is one thing i really want to mention. The Swell Season held a concert in Seoul around in 2009, and i was there. Before the concert starts, there was one korean independent band throwing their own small gig in front of the concert hall. It might be a kind of contribution toward the swell season, cause they played musics from Once. most people did not much care about them. Soon the concert started, and The Swell Season made their stages. After a few musics, they suddenly introduced the korean band to the audience and let them play on the real stage.. The Swell Season might have heard about them right before the concert and have been impressed, i guess. The band played its own song for a number of audiences, and the band looked so happy about it. And Last year, i found one article on a newspaper that the band made the independent film dealing with their amazing story about them having a chance to play on the real stage at The Swell Season concert, and the film was about to release.. I was stunned again with the thought that Once actually have inspired people all over the world. The Swell Season and Once probably got the band an 'once in a life time' experience. I must say that Once is truly beautiful because of that.
