Since I got my back pain in these 3 years, I haven’t been watching movies in a theatre as sitting in the theatre for several hours after sitting all day long in office is killing me.
Yesterday I watched “Begin Again”. I felt so excited and searched for review online before watching it. The general comment is that it is not as good as “Once” and quite a Hollywood blockbuster. So I don’t have high expectation.
“Begin Again” is generally a joyful and charming movie, though it really lacks the natural charm of Once. you can feel that the director makes it with self-conscious calculation that inevitably limits its appeal. Anyway, I enjoy the movie as it is better than I expected. The music is the most important element and it builds up the vibe well. The lyrics links the story smoothly.
Knightley does not have an inborn beautiful voice but I think she is fine. She has a soft and lilting voice that suits the material. Overall, the songs are pleasantly engaging if not quite so powerful as the key tunes from the “Once” soundtrack. Still, it leaves me warming feeling after I left the theatre.
