Movie: Begin Again

もうひとつお勧め映画。先日のOnceと同じ監督の作品。っていうか、こっちを実は先に見てOnceを知ったのだけど。
キーラ・ナイトレーとマーク・ラファロの映画、「はじまりのうた」を見ました。

よく考えると内容はとてもOnceと似ています。
妻に浮気され、酒びたりになっている元超有名音楽プロデューサーと、一緒に音楽を作ってきた彼と一緒にニューヨークに来たものの、有名になっていく彼においてけぼりの上浮気されて傷心の女性が出会って一緒にデモアルバムを作る話。
Onceと同じように、音楽がとてもいいです。
そしてやっぱりとってもプラトニック。
この監督、なかなかやるな。

One more movie worth mentioning: Begin Again. Actually I watched this first and found Once.
Come to think of, it is very similar to Once.

The guy Mark Ruffalo plays used to be a famous producer but his old fashion philosophy of music making does not go well with the current trend and got fired by the record company he founded.
The girl Keira Knightley plays comes to New York with his boyfriend who she has made music together since uni but feels left behind as the boyfriend (Maroon 5 guy) becomes famous and eventually cheats on her.
The guy hears the girl sing at the open mic night and they decide to make a demo album of her music.

Again, I really like the music. Also, it's very platonic. That platonic aspect really tickles me, who has gotten used to the American, Hollywood storytelling.
Anyway, I really like the director's taste of music. I even like the Maroon 5 guy's song in the movie:
