Once


Once is a movie which stars Glens Hansard and Marketa Irglova . It's an Irish film . Glens Hansard plays an immigrant who earns his living by playing his guitar in the evenings and working at his father's shop in the mornings . He's had a disastrous relationship experience and has never managed to overcome it in spite of 10 years having passed . It is at this point he meets Marketa who hears him playing the guitar on one of the evenings and is pretty much taken by the music . It turns out that Marketa (who plays a flower girl) is also undergoing a rough time , what with her husband having deserted her , having left her with a kid and a financial mess . She finds solace in Glens company and his music and him likewise . All this while Glens is moving directionless still nursing the wound which his previous relationship has caused him , he wants to put his life back on track by trying to patch up his broken relationship which has caused him so much of hurt , it is at this stage where Marketa enters his life and they find joy and comfort in each other's company (music being their strongest connecting link) . Here the movie takes a turning from it's conventional path because unlike our hindi movies the main leads do not get together but try getting their lives back on track even more forcefully . Marketa tries to talk to her husband and eventually they come to an agreement and Glens seeks his lost love . The best part of the movie is the relationship between Glens and Marketa , they act as each other's motivation for seeking a better life than what they live in presently . The movie is absolutely charming and had me floored completely . The soundtrack of the movie is very pleasant and refreshing . All in all a great film to watch !!!!
