Nothing needs to be repeated, nothing needs to be changed, just once

Yesterday I watched Once. After watching it, I was stunned, nestled on the sofa in the living room, not wanting to move or talk, because I didn't want to end it. So I watched the bonus footage on the DVD again. Look at how they made this low-budget movie, and see the emotional exchange between the male and female lead actors that should be much more than ordinary friendship. Glen said, 'I'm so happy to have a movie that chronicles my friendship with Marketa, you know, we're just like that, making music together. And the pretty, reserved and even a bit arrogant heroine from Eastern Europe didn't say much. She said that many people really thought it was a documentary. But it's not.

Once is really like a documentary, and it is the most popular kind of self-entertainment filmed with DV. It's so real and natural. The director said, this story is too simple, it is so simple, you will even wonder, can such a simple story really be made into a movie? But I think I'm going to shoot not just stories, but also music. The actor I am looking for is not an actor who can sing, but a good singer who can act.

End of tidbits. I was still on the couch. Because the music continues. I don't think it's over when the movie is subtitled. Then I felt ashamed of myself, I was fed up with Hollywood's bad appetite for Chinese TV dramas! Yes, that's how it should end! There was no love at first sight, no turning back, no escape in the church, and no last-minute retention in the airport. Once in our life, just once. Yes, it's over, that's it. Suddenly, I was overwhelmed.

I don't know if anyone still believes in soul mates in this weird world. Girls love, boys don't know. The way she chose was to help him fulfill his dream and move on with his own life. She wrote the lyrics with the melody the boy gave her, If you want me, but she knew he didn't want it, so she didn't sing it to him. I also wrote a lyric with a melody I liked and never sang it. The director said that everyone told him that they saw a certain part of themselves or a certain period of time in the film.

Going forward, they meet. The birth of a life requires countless coincidences. How much luck does it take for two lives to meet? How many chances are needed for the two met beings to understand each other and become partners they can rely on and trust in each other's spiritual world? We sang and met. Sing all my favorite songs, farewell. Yes, you know, there will always be goodbyes. You will be on your way and maybe meet your dream your love. I would marry someone, live a normal life, and stop singing. But you will never know, I once said to you: I love you, in a language you do not understand. Yet you never know, I once wrote a song that I didn't sing to you. But it's good, really, good.

Once we sang together, maybe we loved each other.
