电影《Once》男主车祸离世：先有他写的FallingSlowly才有的电影，剧情也是他的人生
八点英语-双语分享电影&音乐
昨晚看到电影《曾经》男主Glen Hansard因车祸去世心头一惊，没想到那么突然。
看到很多人在柏林Grafton Street街头自发悼念，那是他曾经多年街头卖唱，也是主演Once的地方。
很多人不知道的是这部电影其实是先有了他写的歌Falling Slowly，才慢慢写的电影，主角也是他，导演（他曾经乐队的贝斯手）力排众议定的他。
剧情跟他的人生也很像。因为真实，所以那么打动人吧。
Rest in Peace��
I’ve been seeing videos of people coming out to the Grafton Street to remember Glen Hansard, the same street where he used to busk and where Once was filmed. Rest in Peace. I really like his music movies actually talked about them on my podcast years ago. And what a lot of people don’t know is that Once actually came out of Glen’s music. The director, John Carney, used to play bass in the band Glen founded. They had known each other for decades, and they’d always had the idea of making a movie about street musicians in Dublin. Before the movie was officially filmed, Glen had already written what would later become the movie’s signature song, Falling Slowly. And later, a lot of the emotions and the story itself grew around the music. Originally, the plan was to have a professional actor play the male lead. But Carney decided to have Glen play the role himself. So a real street musician ended up playing a street musician. The whole movie was made for only about $150,000, and they shot it
in just 17 days. There were no fancy sets, and a lot of it was filmed in the same place where Glen used to busk for years. No one expected the movie to become such a hit. And Falling Slowly went on to win the Oscar. Glen’s real life also had a lot in common with the character. He left school when he was 13 and spent years making a living by playing music on the streets of Dublin. He spent his whole life making Irish folk music, keeping it simple and honest. Maybe that’s why his music is so moving. There’s a line from Falling Slowly: “Falling slowly, sing your melody, I’ll sing along.” Yes. You left your melody with us. We’ll keep listening. Rest in Peace, Glen.
