The whole city is our reverberation room

Record one of your favorite conversations in the entire movie.

- So I've been thinking. Why do we even need to rent a fucking studio?

- Because…you need a desk, a live room and soundproofing.

- Laptop, Pro Tools, a couple dynamic mics, and the city is our fucking live room.

- You mean record outside?

- That's right.

- Like where?

- Everywhere. Fuck him. We don't need a demo. Let's…let's record an album. Every song we do in a different location. All over New York City. And we do it through the summer, and it becomes this tribute to this beautiful, goddamn crazy, fractured mess of a city, New York.

- OK, like, under the bridge on the Lower East Side.

- Top of the Empire State Building.

- Rowing boats in the lake in Central Park.

- Chinatown. Cathedral of Saint John the Divine. OK, in the subway, in fucking Harlem, everywhere, OK?

- OK, so what happens if it starts raining?

- Whatever happens, we record it.

- If we get arrested?

-Keep rolling. It'll be beautiful.

    Kayla is the British version of Yang Mi. Her "lost star" seems to be listening to "The Offering of Love" with insufficiency. The most surprising thing was Sao Dang's performance. He played the role of a scumbag and a musical genius, and his timbre was still the lead singer of Ma Long, who was in love with him back then. It's a great idea to make an album with an urban sound, but aside from the harmonies of a few disturbing kids, it's indistinguishable from what came out of the studio. The whole movie is free and random.

    It should be the last movie I watched in 2014. The love so far, the good music, although a bit idealistic, it is good to use it as a healing movie. I'm falling in love with New York

Begin Again quotes

  • Dan: That's some song you got there. I promise you it could be a big hit. Plus you're beautiful.

    Gretta: I'm sorry, what's beauty got to do with anything?

    Dan: Jesus, you're tricky, aren't you?

  • Gretta: I told you, I write songs from time to time.

    Dan: What do you write them for?

    Gretta: What do you mean what for? For my pleasure. And for my cat.

    Dan: Oh really? Does he like them?

    Gretta: She. Yes, she seems to.

    Dan: How do you know?

    Gretta: Because she purrs.

    Dan: Maybe she's booing.

    Gretta: No, she purrs at Leonard Cohen, too, and she has very good taste.

    Dan: Maybe she's fucking with you.
