Movie Mania : Begin Again

Begin again. That’s the only voice I hear these days. Not only is the story absolutely riveting, the songs are soulful and another USP! Of course, if one expects to see Adam Levine (Front-man of the band Maroon-5), there must be music, his music. However, it may surprise many that most of singing in this film has been done by the hero of the film. That is none other than the leading lady and awfully talented, Keira Knightly. Honestly, those few lines feel like I have been scripting some award function.

Now, coming back to the story, it’s simple and not at all complicated. As the title suggests, begin again. Once famous but now washed up, record label executive, Dan struggles to keep his name in the latest and changing music world. However, he is fired due to his unprofessional attitude (something Mark Ruffalo does very well) which actually corresponds to his emotional issues with his estranged wife and teenage daughter. With suicidal tendencies, Dan visits a bar on the day he gets fired and is mesmerised by a lost artist’s music. Greta has her own stuff to deal with; a cheating boyfriend and the loneliness in New York City. 

Although, she survives with the help of her music and Dan, who wants to make an album with her. Soon enough, you see music and magic circling the streets of New York City as they create an album with the city, for the city.

It would be unfair if I didn’t credit Mark Ruffalo for his performance. He did a marvellous job with the right amount of depth in the character. Though, I don’t pretend to be a character expert but I do know when a man’s portrayal broken and when it’s actually broken. Dan succumbs to alcohol but his love for music overpowers it.

No spoilers because I want all of you to enjoy this lovely film with excellent cameos and dialogues!

The blogger feels she should write more often but if only Physics got into her , would be real magic!

But she wants you all to read no matter what!
