This is a love story

Rating: 10/10 (30 March 2008)

If you choose to see this movie which you most definitely should then i give you this one advice: see it then think about it, and then see it again with your eyes closed and mouth wide open. The reason being that the real story of the movie lies hidden in the lyrics of the songs which also carries the movie forward as you would have experienced the first time you saw it. The music is incredibly simplistic yet has struck a nerve with just about anyone I know who has listened to it. Also I highly recommend getting your hands on Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova's joint venture: The Swell Season. I have played music for 20 years and rarely find myself touched by music so intensely and easily as I experienced with this beautiful, soulful and honest music. This is a love story. A story about love of music, creating it, and listening to it!
