Glen Hansard, Marketa Irglova and John Carney talk "Once"

[clealuvs]

my uncle is john carney!!!

[snappyjdog]

they were busking just a block from where my office is... it really kills me that I missed this (but there was no way for me to have known they were there). doe!

[valareedoll]

Once is my favorite movie and i want everyone to see it and love it and be inspired!!

[firstodd]

wow now that's an Irish accent

[rohit9643]

[RazorbackGermany]

Hi guys, did one of you ever try to get a signature from him? I sent the booklet of the soundtrack cd to the adress of his band in Ireland, and asked him to sign it. I told him it is supposed to be a birthday present for someone I know. Now, three month later, I still dont have it back - did maybe one of you guys try the same? Did you get answers?

[Valapaca]

Razorbitchgermany: Fuck it, seriously! Who needs a fucking signature from such a stupid jerk! No worries my friend. He doesn't give a shit.....so, fuck it!!!

You should get an autograph from Rocco Sifredi!!

[jetranger7803]

yes it is takamine after the film was shot he got a new guitar from takamine and they want to redo the film because of the whole in the guitar

[jessicaburlile]

I'm fairly sure its a Takamine

[123456789hellboy]

CAn anyone tell the name of the guitar? at like 0:45 it zooms in really well but i still cant make it out

[Jononinho]

Yep defo Takamine, if you're looking to buy a Guitar a Takamine is a good make, I have one but I would personally prefer to have a Tanglewood. Just my opinon

[123456789hellboy]

Cool thanks man

I've actually picked out a "Brunswick" very prettty, only €100 :D

[womanatwittsend]

@123456789hellboy It is indeed a Takamine.

[LorcanORyan]

Has anybody heard any more about his new stuff with Barry McCann ( your man who sings that song Memory Box)

[thereTHERE7]

humble, talented and also friends in real life so natually successful :)

[dandeexxxx]

these two people are so down to earth, maybe common. I think that is the reason for their mass appeal. So talented

[preetvijay]

Phenomenal

[xgalba00]

Wow, I heard this song many times, but I didn't know that it is from this movie. Also good surprise for me is that it is about love of Czech and Irish musicians. I am Czech and I know these scenes from Dublin personally as I lived there for 2 years

[FrNzC]

Do u know the name of the song they were singing on the video?

[bermicmon]

The song is called "Into The Mystic". It's originally from Van Morrison but Glan and Marketa (The Swell Season) play it very often.

[strahlemaedchen]

is there a hole in his guitar?

best music-film ever.

[meikelkorleone]

It is amazing. No question.

BUT WHERE IS THE VID GOIN, WHERE THEY SINGIN IT? I GOT IT AS A MP3, BUT WHERE IS THE VID? I BEGIN TO HATE MR. MORRISON FOR HIS "CLEANING UP THE WEB WORLD"

[ruthlisgo]

I know exactly what he's saying when he says 'people want to hear songs they know' during the day..that's very true..i was a busker myself in Dublin...loved it every day was so interesting...i miss it now..thinking about it...and i certainly didn't do it for the money..i did it cause i LOVED IT! I covered the song 'Falling slowly' hope you can take a listen..beautiful clip...5 stars to you!

[waterwiggler]

I just saw them live! Wheeeeeee!

[fakynka]

je to pekná pieseň

[Oilcanshottupac]

Totally agree with john carney's comments: i'm 17 and had fun watching "Singin in The Rain", but outside of the dancing i dont see any artistic merit in just breaking out into song. I guess i have a bigger problem with, say, a campy Broadway musical (aren't they all) then with Gene Kelly (who is clearly a standout dancer), but i like the gist: this is real, not contrived, and his decision to go with musicians rather than mere actors contributes to that sense.

[TheTimeShift]

very very good

[hemanps]

Loved the movie and video.  John Carney's comment on age demographics seems misplaced. We are 72 and 76, appreciated Gene Kelly movies, and were really touched by Once. Beautiful souls are revealed by their eyes and their music. Irglova has the luminosity of a young Audrey Hepburn.

[drownamy]

naturalistic and realistic... that's why this movie is so brilliant, unlike many other Hollywood musical movies

[FloydFreak690]

I would so fuck her...she is so hot

[numbtoes12]

U fucking perv! She's Glen's!

[sineaddeburca]

Every person I know who saw this movie came out saying how much they loved it and how hard it is to describe!

For me it was an added pleasure to see Dublin again after spending a year there, this movie really FEELS like Dublin.

[jikkino]

...AMAZING!

[kimmispe]

this movie touches your heart in a way that no other can. it's because these are real people, singer, song writers and i can't thank enough for this music and this movie.

[smailig]

noor ho teebe...evry1 in Once are superb!!!!

[fishle]

this movie makes me want to throw all my other movies away because there's no way i could ever find anything that would reach out of the tv and grab me and SHAKE me like this one did! and yet... it did it in such a gentle way. no words to express how insanely awesome this movie is. Oh... and i'm completely in love with Glen. haha.

[NinaKristina]

I totally agree with you! Including the love-thing ;)

[vgonrod]

I just love them and the movie too!

[joshmurtagh13]

best movie ever!!!!

comon glen!!!!!!!

[photodolly]

Oh, this movie makes me proud to be from Dublin and to be Irish. The music is stunning, so emotional and moving. It's a "must see" movie

[ElisabethGillian]

Markéto, všechno nejlepší k zítřejším narozeninám, ať se ti splní tvá přání a ať se ti daří! Happy birthday!!!

[nonidentity]

what a great movie and great people

[happyhead7]

Beautiful people. A rare treat in movies.

[amandalee7747]

Yeh the van morriosn police will have this down in 36 more seconds

[endlessemiosis]

Superb. Best movie 2007 by far.

[friendmurph]

I think that it is so cool that you cab jump on any corner and simply rip it up. That is what it is all about...not many can do that on this level. Come to Buffalo, NY...our corners are welcoming. Bring The Frames as well...hope to see you on tour in the States soon.

[pickwickbowl]

Brilliant movie, just brilliant.

[mummy2u]

This movie was one of the best that i have seen in a long time. Very touching to the heart and soul. Also loved the way Glen and Marketa make music together :)

[BarcakBarcak]

She is czech!me tooo :) she's good!!!

[starsign1981]

I am czech too...she makes me proud.

[ZYXik]

Same as me..

[quad1951]

Great movie, a truly romantic movie that without having to recur to sex scenes comes out beautifully. Lives you gasping for air at the end, yet it is good to know they date. A great choice of picking them as actors. They are lovely, she is an angel, a sweet girl.

[eightyeightMPH]

Why does the world play such cruel tricks!! I live here in downtown Chicago! I coulda seen em! nooooooo

o well, theyre amazing. they better get the oscar or im not gonna bother with the academy awards anymore.

[RobinLull]

Lori and I would like to personally sing the praises to John, Glen and Marketa!

This movie is a GEM~

Well done, thanks for touching our hearts~

-R&L-

[sharkfrenzy07]

good clip; this movie looks great. something different from the normal romance movies that are full of sex. but this is just plain romance. very nice for a change

[domjenx]

Great clip. Thanks for posting. Glad they went with G & M.
