Re: just saw it
[ QUOTE ]
We were both dissappointed and shocked that everybody loved it so much. I felt like it was pretty good, but definately not as great as I was led to believe. I kind of felt like the whole time was spent building up and it never really climaxed or concluded. [/ QUOTE ] ditto |

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Thanks Zeej, I'm going tomorrow...confirm this would be a great date movie, or no? [/ QUOTE ] Absolutely. She will prolly fall in love with the main character which can work out well for you. [/ QUOTE ] Exactly because I am a guitar-strummin boho romeo. Review to come... [/ QUOTE ] Most of what everyone's said I agree with, but SPOILERS NOW MAYBE Was everyone satisfied with the ending? I felt a little let down by the lack of info about his life in the UK, though I do like that they didnt really get together. |

That chapter of his life was over, and a new one was about to start. I think things wrapped up nicely and realistically. |

Re: Once - (Movie recommendation) *SPOILERS WITHIN*
loved this movie and i didn't even like the music very much. obviously it worked very well as an emotive vehicle for the film so i can't say i hated it or anything, but it was a bit pedestrian/coldplay/typical singer songwriter fodder for me and i would never dream of listening to the soundtrack. in spite of this i was still very moved and am very grateful for the experience. (i know this is a bit of an old bump but this thread was the reason i sought the movie out and it just came out in AU)

I clarified that by saying: [ QUOTE ] There is no spontaneous bursting into songs like you would expect in a musical. Instead, the music is actually part of the plot line. [/ QUOTE ] |

Re: Once - (Movie recommendation)
Then the musical episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is the best recent example I can think of (every song actually advanced the plot).
