Once

Brilliance doesn’t have to be expensive.  For less than $100,000 the movie Once was made and is now one of my favorites.  With a simple story line and music that is so good it’ll make you cry, you need to check it out if you haven’t.  Oh, and it won an Oscar.
Glen Hansard “Once” Say it to me now…

One of the best scenes is Glen Hansard (of The Frames) playing music on the street.  He works as a vacuum repairman for money, and plays music on the street for his soul-food. In this particular scene, it’s late at night, no one is walking by.  No one is tossing money into his guitar case.  It’s just him and his guitar, and his memories of a woman who is no longer in his life.  But the song he was singing … oh!

The rest of the songs in the movie are just as good, but i couldn’t pass up the link to this scene.
