JUNE 17, 2007 entry taken from my previous blog
Last night, I went to watch "Once" at the Arbor. This movie stars Glen Hansard of The Frames, and follows a musician (The Guy) just trying to make his dream a reality while picking up the pieces of a failed relationship. He unexpectedly develops a friendship w/ a Czech immigrant (The Girl) who is trying to support her family in Dublin.
The two share a passion for music and collaborate on several pieces written by "the Guy". Weaving in piano and female vocals breathes new life to these songs and the duo decides to record the songs for a demo. After all, it's "the Guy's" plan to move to London and pursue love and his dream.
The friendship develops into something more, but it seems undefinable. You sense the love that they have built for each other and find it to be an unconditional love. A true love w/o expectations of one another.

I admit, the movie sounds cheesy, but it exceeded my expectations. I would recommend people get out and watch this movie. The music and the story are magical and you seem to lose yourself. So, if you're in the mood for a good love story, check out Once.
