背景简介：
| The Irish romance Once may be a musical, but it is miles away from the traditional Hollywood idea of people bursting into song. The movie's two main characters are not given names, and they are listed in the credits as Guy and Girl. Glen Hansard (frontman for indie rock band The Frames) plays the Guy, a street musician who is playing for change when he meets the Girl (Marketa Irglova), an immigrant from the Czech Republic. The pair immediately bond over their shared love of music (he is a guitarist, and she plays the piano), and the film chronicles their tentative relationship. Both are weighed down by plenty of baggage: his songs are fueled by a painful breakup, and she is a young mother who left her husband behind in her native country. |
爱尔兰爱情电影《曾经》称得上是一部音乐片，但它与传统的好莱坞音乐片有很大不同，因为影片中的角色不会突兀地唱起歌来。这部电影的两个主角没有具体的名字，在演职员表中列出的角色名称是“男人”和“女孩”。 Glen Hansard（独立摇滚乐队The Frames的主唱）饰演的“男人”是一个在街头卖唱的音乐家，他遇到的这个“女孩”（ Marketa Irglova 饰）是从捷克移民过来的。同样怀着对音乐的热爱，两人很快相知相契，他弹吉他，她弹钢琴，剧情就随着他们若即若离的关系向前发展。两人都被现实琐事所拖累，他歌曲的灵感来源于一段失败的感情；而她是一个年轻的母亲，丈夫还留在祖国没有一起移民过来。 |
| Like the independent favorite Before Sunrise, Once is a simple, sweet drama that doesn't rely on an elaborate plot. With its use of digital video and handheld cameras, Once matches its spare visual style to its intimate mood. Each moment feels stolen from real life, and the story is at once familiar and fresh. Driven more by music than by dialogue, Once features a stirring soundtrack of heartfelt indie rock sung by Hansard and Irglova. Songs continue to be performed in a real-world, diegetic fashion, often in their entirety, as when the Girl rehearses her lyrics for one of the Guy's songs (which she entitles "If You Want Me"), singing to herself while walking down the street, or when at a party, people perform impromptu (including "Gold", performed by a trio featuring guitarist Hansard singing harmony). |
和深受欢迎的独立影片《爱在黎明破晓时》一样，电影《曾经》的剧情简单、甜蜜，不以情节设置精巧取胜。影片运用数字视频和手提摄像机，表现出朴素而不加渲染的视觉风格，以此营造亲密温馨的情绪氛围。电影中的每时每刻都仿佛是从真实生活中截取出来的，整个故事立刻让人感到亲切和鲜活。在电影《曾经》中，情节的推动更多凭借音乐而不是对话完成，Hansard与Irglova倾情演绎的多首独立摇滚歌曲贯穿全片，振奋人心。片中的歌曲从头到尾都以真实的剧情声呈现，比如：女孩尝试着为男人的一首歌填词（她把这首歌命名为《If You Want Me》），在街上边走边唱；还有在一次聚会中，人们即兴演奏（其中一首歌叫做《Gold》，由三人乐队演奏，吉他手Hansard配唱。） |
| Hansard and Irglova wrote all but one of the songs featured in the film. The movie won the World Cinema Audience Award for a dramatic film at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. Hansard and Irglova began dating while making the film Once. In 2009 Hansard said that he and Irglova were no longer romantically linked, and that they are now "good friends." |
除了一首歌之外，影片中出现的所有歌曲都是由Hansard和Irglova创作的。电影《曾经》在2007年的圣丹斯电影节上荣获国际影片单元最受观众喜爱的剧情片大奖。男女主演Hansard和Irglova在影片拍摄期间开始约会。但在2009年，Hansard宣布他与Irglova不再是恋人关系，但两人仍是好友。
