About Me

從小到大都是超級乖乖牌一名。自我信念極低,只要有人反對自己的意見,就會覺得自己一事無成。溫和友善,沒什麼心眼的好人。很怕獨處時手邊沒有東西可讀。不帶本書在身邊會覺得受不了。有本書在手可藉此把自己腦子塞滿,沒有工夫去做自我反省了。愛音樂、愛舞蹈、也愛電影。

Begin Again

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.
