With it’s moving music and sweet storyline, Once is a film that touches your heart. The fact that it is an independent, low-budget production filmed with a handheld camera and acted in by musicians, not actors, makes it real, relatable and all the more amazing.
The story is of two people, a guy and a girl—their names are never mentioned—and their connection through their love of music. The paths of their lives cross for only a short period of time, and it is this period of time that the film in focused on. The atmosphere is formed by amazing songs and only improved by the impressive cinematography—which doesn’t include the excessive shaking a handheld camera usually results in.
This film touched the world—and for good reason. For ‘once’, the little fish made it in the big tank. The VERY big tank, actually, if going home with an Oscar in your hand is big.
