A blown away movie from Keira Knightley and Mark Rufallo.
I've heard the sound track, before I see the movie. Listening to Lost Stars is such an experience, that urge me to watch the movie instead.
So what is this movie about? It's about standing up again after falling hard down to the ground. How do you get up? By helping others, its just that simple.
Keira Knightley played as Greta, a young English lady who was recently broke up with his boyfriend Dave Kohl played by the one and only Adam Levine, it's like playing the name of Dave Grohl ;p. Mark Ruffalo played as Dan Mulligan, a drunk man who got divorced to his wife, after his wife cheating on him to other man.
Greta is a talented song writer, but shadowed by the famous boy friend Dave who become the next superstar in the city of New York. Like any other relationship, when one of them is too famous, the other is just an underdog, even when they have the same talent. She also writes beautiful songs, but too afraid to show the world her real talent, or should we say, his boyfriend never give her a chance to show it.
Dan, was thinking about killing himself when he heard Greta sang in a local bar. After failing at his marriage, he become an alcoholic and drove himself to the ground. The record company he built fired him, and he was just lost.
After their meeting in a local bar, Dan tries to convince Greta about her talents, but she just doesn't bought it. They finally found a relationship in music, by showing their music library. Yup, it's not a musical movie, but it really shows lots of great music.
Their relationship grow, when they made their own outdoor music. They record the music in the whole town, it creates something beautiful, and paid every effort they made. A trophy at the end of the game.
This is one of the best movie I've seen so far. Keira's act is flawless! Seems like she just played as her. Mark Ruffalo is also one of the best actor, I have notice him since he played at Now You See Me. They were just like a great combo together, plus Adam Levine as the bonus. A must see movie, and a must listen music. One word "Magnificent"!
I give this movie 4/5 stars!
