- When filming the film, director John Carney aimed to show the real look of Dublin as much as possible. Therefore, when shooting a certain group of scenes that need to be shot with a long lens on the street, the staff are also far away. Most passers-by do not know that their every move is collected by the director in the camera, and one of the onlookers is watching the crowd. Unknowingly, he rushed into the shooting scene and injured the person who played the thief in the film.
- The mirror image of Dublin in the film condenses the 10-15 years of director John Carney and lead actor Glen Hansard 's summary of all the memories of Berlin-it is not just a city belonging to the working class.
- The script of "Once" incorporates a lot of director John Carney's own personal experience and life experience, such as: the plot about the male protagonist and his ex-girlfriend living in Dublin and London is a portrayal of the director's own love experience; and the film The boy appeared in the flashback to the ex-girlfriend in the clip, whose actor is Carney’s real-life girlfriend.
- Glen Hansard 's mother was a guest singer at the banquet.
- Since the film is about stories that happen to creative musicians, most of the songs in the film are composed and sung by the male protagonist Glen Hansard. Because he gave enough creative space, Hanside was even more addicted to music. He wrote nine soundtracks for the film himself, and sang as many as ten in the film.
