An (unnamed) Guy is a Dublin guitarist/singer-songwriter who makes a living by fixing vacuum cleaners in his Dad's Hoover repair shop by day, and singing and playing for money on the Dublin streets by night.

Guy meets Girl, and they get to know each other as the Girl helps the Guy to put together a demo disc that he can take to London in hope of landing a music contract. During the same several day period, the Guy and the Girl work through their past loves, and reveal their budding love for one another, through their songs. Written by Charles Delacroix

I write these for friends and if you like movies that are a friend:
saw a movie last night was so good that I have spent the last hour
seek information about it on the Internet Movie Data Base and < br> links of interest. I included the website of Fox Searchlight for
film at the bottom of this review so you can listen to music. So now I know
it was done in 17 days and at a cost of less than $ 150K and
reflects a Dublin of 10-15 years ago, when Dublin is much poorer and more
working class.
And I would be much poorer in the life and spirit, and my heart, like most of us
, included in the scar tissue of living, do not seem so vulnerable
and again if I had not seen this movie. A simple story of a street musician
in Ireland, singing covers during the day euros, and
his own music at night for pennies. A skate in the middle-aged man, still living with his
Da, repairing vacuum cleaners in a small tent and write songs
his lost love in her bedroom Tinian. As a child approached, a
immigrants, who loves his songs, he took pain
who gave them life, and soon find themselves in a music store with the girl playing the piano together and demonstrate
that art is not produced from large budgets or
green lighted by ten vice-chairmen and seventeen days and a pittance
I can bring goose blows trying to write a review of what I saw in a
dark theater with ten other people in a complex dominated by
Shrek, Pirates and Spiderman.
I knew a woman Once only read novels about unrequited love. Which
wonderful phrase: unrequited love. Archaic, not reciprocated, love,
universally known and unknown, and as a friend says about the film and
his songs: no great art came from happiness. But the movie is not sad,
is pulsating with life and music and the incident and the process of how art is made
. I've always been a sucker for movies about how art is made
: Shakespeare in Love, Topsy Turvey, as examples, but in both those
, art that was known. On one occasion in the streets of Dublin, an Irish
and a Czech girl, remind us how, in my generation,
guitar was king, a guitar, bass, drums and piano a symphony orchestra,
and there is no power like the power of rock and roll. In all
generations, love sought, found, lost, recovered and sometimes is the
things that brings us to the theater, to book the film.
'm in the midst of reading a book by an Irishman, a detective novel, the hero of
a reader and the author uses the book to the list of books he likes:
a ... 'Moves the body, mind and stays circles developments
the past. "This should be true of writer / director.
not forget these people. I can not forget their songs. We
they all meet, my friends who love cinema, and talk about this movie in a bar in Chicago
I know it has great music on the jukebox, cold beer cold
and is quite dark and that all are well. Neil Young sang:
only love can break your heart, Once asked "how often do you meet the right person
, and as a fellow movie attendees ask how often can be the right film
carried out, is shown in its local and break and cause you to the seven heart of a beautiful summer
Year's Eve? This is the best film of the year. Perhaps the
past five years. But I am not a dispassionate critic, I loved it.
(My synopsis) Guy (unnamed - Glen Hansard of the Irish banda
Marcos) is singing her heart out on the streets of Dublin for the tip
money. One day, a Czech girl (unnamed - Marketa Irglova) stops to listen to
Guy playing his music. She is very impressed by his songs
and she asks him if he wrote his own music. The Guy says he writes and
loves playing his own songs himself, even if people want to hear street
other music. It's a good idea to earn tips, but that's not what his music is
. The Guy life at home and helping his father repair
vacuums, but he has a dream of becoming a recording star.
His girlfriend of many years has just left him and now lives in London.
You can tell that what he has done to their emotions, and being
reflected in his new songs. The Girl who's going to have a fracture
vacuum also has a musical background playing the piano and write songs
. His music brings them together and begins a Girl
Guy to help realize his dream. They begin to share his music and
their feelings for each other. He has compiled a banda
street with other players and rent a recording studio for the weekend to record two
demos. This could be the beginning of a new and wonderful life.
(My comment) The story is almost like a reality TV show.
The people are not actors, and are naturally doing things in your life that
what they want to do. This is not your typical Hollywood movie about
the end and, above all costs. The writer / director John Carney
made the film in 17 days for an unbelievable $ 130000. John Carney did not have
face constant cam cameras, but he used hand
cameras with telephoto, so I would not have to get permission to film
in Dublin. You will notice the movement of images and hopefully
not give you dizzy, because the film offers a stark
sentiment which in turn makes you feel real for the audience.
Hansard and Irglova are charming and very together mutually supportive. All
three people were in the selection that I have attended, and that there was a Q & A session
4 and sang songs after the movie. All three have been friends for many years
. That is why I said that the film is like a reality TV show
, when friends gathered to make music. Hearing
to perform live after the movie, I admit that was the same performance that
I've seen on the screen. Now on the music, personally, I liked some of
songs, but most music was not the kind of music that I
hear on the radio. In general the film will give you a single
experience and realism that does not normally leave Hollywood.
(Fox Searchlight, 1:25 runtime, Rated R) (7 / 10)
