The Reasons for Recommending
「Once」
「Once」 is a very famous Irish musical film with the theme song ‘Falling Slowly.’
In this film, you can enjoy the unique and subtle healing that unfolds as a rough Irish local man and a Czech immigrant woman, who have little in common, communicate through ‘music.’
The rugged and raw emotions of Ireland blend wonderfully with beautiful music, offering a unique sensibility that is hard to find in other musical films.
I highly recommend it for experiencing the distinct charm of “Once.”

Brief Summary (NO spoilers)
Guy: People wouldn’t listen.
Girl: I listen.
A ‘man,’ an ordinary vacuum cleaner repairman, leaves himself behind and goes to London, unable to forget the old woman who left him. Every day, he plays the guitar and sings on the bustling streets of Dublin.
One day, a ‘woman’ passing through the streets of Dublin listens to the man’s music. She recognizes his musical talent through his song.
Coming from the Czech Republic, she loves the piano but, due to difficult circumstances, spends only one hour a day playing at a piano store.
Following her suggestion, the man visits the piano store to hear her play. As he listens to her piano performance, they recognize each other’s musical harmony and grow closer.

★★★★★ Since ‘Once,’ many musical films have been released. While these films were well-planned and sophisticated, they couldn’t quite capture the audience’s hearts as much as the rugged and raw ‘Once’ did. It is a unique film that allows you to feel the Irish sensibility.
★★★★★ Fantastic music, a gentle narrative, and a lingering afterglow. A wonderful movie that was a delight for the eyes and ears.
★★★★★ The power of music that turns a less polished, rough gem of a movie into a sparkling jewel.
★★★★★ A film that is unfiltered, simple, unadorned, and pure in its essence. Its inherent contradictions are more complete due to its shortcomings.
★★★★★ Even without the characters’ names being mentioned, everything is understood through music. At least for me, it’s a masterpiece..
