Anything "Greatest" only happens once, and it has happened via "Once"

Rating: 10/10 (9 March 2008)

After reading all the articles, I'd totally agree with the greatness of the film, but I'd also like to encourage the audience to acknowledge the very essence of this film and its eternal meaning. I am quite a movie observer myself. I watch each and every movie that I do, with a great deal of attention and for any scope of lump. I have to admit that "Once" is one of kind movie. Unlike any other piece of motion picture which I have ever witnessed while I respire. It's a wonderful piece of craftsmanship on reel. I think though the music got the recognition it deserved, there are only a few who are acknowledging the acting performances given by our Guy and Girl especially against the fact that they took no formal training of any sort for their respective roles. I mean I have my own list of great movies, which I keep recommending to people around me ( Nd sometimes force them to see ) but Once had some superb acting performances which totally gel with the movie's theme. Since the movie was shot with handy-cams and essentially was depicting life in reality on the streets of Dublin, this is where the actors did their job to perfection. I mean a girl 17 years in age who never acted in her life, was playing a single mother, who doesn't have enough money to take hold of her difficult life. How often do we see such naturalism in the acting done nowadays. Even glen's part was good, he made it natural, and easy on the roll; this is where the movie was one of a kind, there's just not anything bad about it ?
I am sorry, but I never intended to write this much, but as I said, I love this movie so much, I have gone morbidly obsessed with it. I have listened to the songs of the movie over 700 times already ( in total, over a week ), and I'm still hungry for more.
