ViTaMeA

ONCE，曾經。

沒有峰迴路轉的愛恨情仇，沒有姓名的男生女生，沒有時下風行的情慾片段，

整部片像是清粥小菜般地簡單純、純粹，動人而雋永。

男主角情感豐沛的高亢歌喉與女主角細柔的歌聲互相唱和，

他們以歌聲邂逅、相知相惜，聆聽著彼此的曾經。

然而籌了錢、錄了試唱帶，夢想完成了一半，

這段柏拉圖式的愛情終究曲終人散，徒留無限美好。

好愛這個故事，好愛男主角歌聲中傳遞的孤寂、期盼與希望。

愛情的終點也許要的不是一個結果，

曾經中的美好，

才會是永恆留在心底的部份。

少有獨立製片的小電影獲得小金人的肯定，

但是FALLING  SLOWLY今年得到了最佳電影原創歌曲!

ACCEPTANCE SPEECH

Glen Hansard:
Thanks! This is amazing. What are we doing here? This is mad. We made this film two years ago. We shot on two Handycams. It took us three weeks to make. We made it for a hundred grand. We never thought we would come into a room like this and be in front of you people. It's been an amazing thing. Thanks for taking this film seriously, all of you. It means a lot to us. Thanks to the Academy, thanks to all the people who've helped us, they know who they are, we don't need to say them. This is amazing. Make art. Make art. Thanks.

Marketa Irglova:
Hi everyone. I just want to thank you so much. This is such a big deal, not only for us, but for all other independent musicians and artists that spend most of their time struggling, and this, the fact that we're standing here tonight, the fact that we're able to hold this, it's just to prove no matter how far out your dreams are, it's possible. And, you know, fair play to those who dare to dream and don't give up. And this song was written from a perspective of hope, and hope at the end of the day connects us all, no matter how different we are. And so thank you so much, who helped us along way. Thank you.

FILM SYNOPSIS
An Irish singer-songwriter performing on the streets of Dublin befriends a young Czech immigrant who is selling flowers to support her mother and child. The pair begin a musical collaboration with the hope of producing a marketable demo, working together easily as they skirt the more difficult issue of the unexpressed attraction that is growing between them.
