One of our daughters and her husband and kids gave us a subscription to NET FLIX for Christmas. Talk about weird. We have picked out some movies based on a chance they would be good. One such movie was "ONCE". It was different, but we actually liked it. Here is a summary:



In this charming contemporary musical helmed by John Carney, a street musician (Glen Hansard) in Dublin, Ireland, strikes up a friendship with a migrant street hawker (Markéta Irglová). Over the course of a busy week, they compose, rehearse and record a series of songs that mirror the duo's burgeoning romance -- and help the young busker release his musical passions. The actors wrote the tunes they perform in this film that was recognized at Sundance 2007.

Last night the song they wrote for the movie "Falling Slowly". won an Oscar for Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures, Original Song. Unbelievable! We just watched this movie last Tuesday. What a coincidence.

It is not a movie for everyone, but loving music, I enjoyed it. I enjoyed the passion the characters had to create the music. There is some swearing here and there, but otherwise it's great.
