Once (twice)

I just finished watching the movie Once, twice. I was watching it while Adam was out shopping and he came back during the last scene. I wanted him to see the scene at the beginning where the two people play together for the first time in the music store. (If you haven't seen the movie you've probably heard this song, it won best song at the Oscar's last year) So we watched that part and ended up watching the whole thing over again! It's not a very long movie, but I usually don't watch a movie twice, and definitely not in one sitting. It's one of those movies where nothing really happens. There's no big action or even any real drama, it's just about people's lives. That's what I loved. It's such a simple movie about two strangers coming together and recording an album. She plays piano, he plays guitar. They both have lost love and rediscover it through the music. They get a second chance. The movie captures carefree moments that I long for in life. Walking on the beach, laughing with friends, just living. I'm sappy and sentimental and start thinking about how it compares to my life. I can't wait to head home for Christmas and see the girls next weekend!

So, if you haven't seen Once, and like music and simple movies, check it out. Let me know what you think.
