SONG ONE, A moment can change everything
Even though I have a lot of things to do especially on my requirements, I still find time to watch a movie and enjoyed it a little. I definitely chose 'Song One', starring Anne Hathaway and Johnny Flynn.
Below is the plot I copied from Wikipedia.
Franny Ellis (Anne Hathaway), an archaeology student, returns home from her PhD thesis work in Morocco to see her estranged brother, Henry (Ben Rosenfield), a musician who entered a coma after a car accident. To revive Henry and repair their relationship, Franny uses writings from Henry's journal to travel among New York City music clubs, where she takes notes on the phrases and music she observes with hopes that the similar sounds, once played in his room, will awaken Henry. Eventually, Franny meets Henry's favorite musician, James Forrester (Johnny Flynn), at a concert, and convinces him to play for Henry. Franny and Forrester develop a romantic relationship, and Henry awakens. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Song_One)
I recently watched musical romantic movies like Once and Begin Again. I am fascinated with this kind of movie wherein music was perfectly mixed up with a love story.
Music is written with love. We cannot really observed it but 80% of the songs we hear has a connotation of love. This love does not only pertain to a mutual relationship, but rather it defines love in all things. May it be love for God, nature, family and etc.
Aside from the unique dating process of Franny and James in this movie, I also love how the way the story goes with the relationship of Franny to his brother, Henry. I convey the love story, but I was catch up with the issue of the two siblings. I have experienced fights with my brother and actually, even now, we still fight especially on who will lock the door at night and on other simple things. This movie portrayed the importance of forgiveness in the family circle. It also shows how important the communication in every family because one day we will really regret why we do such cruel things to them. I can relate on this story because I had a recent issue on my brother like this one. We didn't say, 'I'm sorry', but we let time heal us both. We can still have some arguments, but we're okay right now.
On the love story of this movie, I find it so romantic especially that James was really a big help to Franny on facing her dilemma on her brother. Their dating process is also a two thumbs up for me especially that they simply roam around the city, having a night view with the beach and the simple playing of guitar by James. I am fascinated with musicians especially if they will play my favorite songs. For me, a guy who knows how to play a guitar is an A+ plus. I consider it as a talent and I honestly find it so romantic when a guy will sit beside you and sing the most romantic song just for you.
Love and music is a perfect rhyme. Every word and tune should be recognized and checked.
