This sounds like it could be a great film. Hopefully it will have some music infused into it like Once did, but not if Galifopoluffagus is singing. I didn't follow the trade news on Once, so I had no idea the two leads were even dating. Loved it none the less.

With all due respect here, I don't really understand all the Amy Adams love. I mean, she's a good actress. Not really attractive, rather marginal looking actually. But it's not like she's Kate Winslet doing Shakespeare. I mean, she was in Cruel Intentions 2 for christ sakes! I read here previously that she was the "best part of Night at the Museum 2". Isn't that a little like being the world's tallest midget, or the least strung out meth addict, or the most talented Arquette? It will be interesting to see if Galifanakajingleheimerschmidt can keep the positive flow that is his current career arc going though.

The two leads in Once didn't even fall in love IN the movie! Honestly, did I see the same film everybody else did? I never thought it was about them falling in love; it was about their relationship bringing strength and passion and courage out of each other without them falling in love.

I didn't watch Once for romance. I didn't realize a film about a married Czech pianist helping a struggling Irish musician regain his footing in the wake of a horrible breakup was supposed to be a romance. Color me confused, just like Todd.

I watched Once for a chance to experience a different kind of musical, wherein the songs performed were clearly part of the everyday world of the film, providing insight into the characters that they had not yet realized about themselves. The characters all know they are singing and playing instruments because they are musicians. They don't know that the songs are as psychologically and emotionally revealing as they are to the audience watching the film. It's compelling at the very least.

I kept watching Once for the high quality of the performances and fell in love with it because the score was perfect for the material at hand. Falling Slowly doesn't have anything on The Hill, All the Way Down, or Say it to Me Now. Light and fluffy this music ain't.

Ralphie, I believe that there are different classes of hookers; just as you can find raunchy strippers at your local titty bar, you can find raunchy streetwalkers around the corner. But you can also find extremely beautiful showgirls in Las Vegas, and beautiful escorts or "call girls" in any big city. What I'm saying is, you don't have to be ugly and nasty to find yourself in a position to sell what you have to the highest bidder. Pretty girls get broke and desperate too. And they can charge higher prices.

I agree with everything Robert said.

Once wasn't about finding love in someone, it was about finding love in something. They helped each other realize what they wanted out of their lives and the courage to do it.

And the music is anything but "pansy white-boy" music. If you only take it for its surface value then you're never going to fully understand what most of the songs mean. The best part abou Once is the way he songs are integrated seemlessly into the movie. It's a new way of viewing a movie musical.

And who cares about what went on behind the scenes between Hansard and Irglova, you should have paid more attention to what was happening ON the screen.

I really like Amy Adams. She was delightful in Enchanted. Good in Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day. I have yet to see her in Junebug or Doubt, but I don't expect to be disappointed.

Isn't it nice to see marginally attractive people on screen? It makes the rest of us marginally attractive people feel happy. We can't all be drop-dead gorgeous, can we?

Well I, for one, am glad to see that the rule that all women have to play a prostitute at some time or other is still in effect. We wouldn't want to let one slip by, right? Danged uppity females.

Even Kathy Bates and Lily Tomlin had to do it, although they did opt to fulfill their quota in a Woody Allen film that no one saw.

Phaeolus >> I also think the lack of subtitles for that line was to put us in the same place as his character. He didn't know what she said at that moment, and neither did we (or at least the non-Czech-speaking audience didn't).

Hansard and Irglová may no longer be dating, but they're still together. Swell Season, anyone? New album (Strict Joy) dropped yesterday. Just saw them at a small in-store in tha LBC and they were fantastic.

I tell you what, if there was a prostitute that looked like Amy Adams, I would spend as much time as I could banging the hell out of her. In my spare time, I would recycle cans, comb on the streets for spare change, ravage tip jars and Salvation Army buckets, donate blood, allow myself to be used for experiments and sell non essential body parts so I could go back and hit that again. I would no longer have a name or an address, all I would be is the poor schmuck who helped her get a new boob job or send her and her real boyfriend on a trip to Cancun.

Oh, and I loved Once as well. It was a very sweet movie. I believe that they did fall in love and maybe in another time and place they would have tried to be together, but circumstances made it so they could not be together. They may have loved each other, but they were already in love before.

Anyway, yeah, I'd love to get some of an Amy Adams prostitute. If it was Isla Fisher, I'd probably die of sensory overload and not make it to the front door of the house.

I work in the music shop they filmed parts of Once in. It stocks many pianos. People started coming in and playing the song from Once, Falling Slowly. A lot. So my boss, being the awesome man that he is, banned the song from being played. Hw would kick people out. People were pissed but I say rock on.
Plus, Glen Hansard is an almighty prick.

Adams was great in Doubt (as were Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Meryl Street). Great film.
