Paul Potts (James Corden) share his opera life in One Chance. He was bullied since he was at elementary to his adulthood. He is fat, not so smart and people never pay attention to his ideas or actions. One thing for sure is he loves opera very much.
One day, he met his online friend for the first time..Julz (Alexandra Roach), whose amazingly looks beautiful although she's a plus size. Their first meeting was insanely beautiful, it was love at the first sight. In every successful man, there's a woman behind it, and Julz was the one.
Paul shows his great talent which is singing opera in the talent show in a bar to win 300 Pound to add his saving to went to Venice. He shows up in a clown costume, the crowds tees and laugh him so hard, but he kept on moving. He open his mouth and sings the opera song, and left the crowd's jaw hanging. They couldn't believe it, neither do Paul. He won that night.
Paul finally went to Venice to learn Opera, and continue the long distance relationship with Julz. Venice scene was beautiful, it made me adding Venice as one of my destinations in life. He was great there, until one day he choke in front of Pavarotti and failed. He went back to Wales with broken heart. After meeting Julz, they finally decided to get married.
Paul's struggle started when he was convicted with tumor in his throat that made him stop singing and an accident that caused him stop working. He's miserable and hopeless in life. I guess the one thing that hurt human being the most is stop doing what they love doing. Its just too painful for the soul.
This movie shows how common people deal with failure in their life. We all have choices in life, and our path was decided with our decision. Do we want to continue chasing our dreams and goals, or are we just going to stand in the dark and watch our life fades away, meaningless. Paul was lucky, he had julz who always trust in him and believe for who he is. If you have your own julz today, you should be grateful and cherish him/her in every single day you had. They were the treasures in your life.
I find this movie encouraging me, made me think to all decisions I have made in my life. I know I could not rewind it, but I know in the future I will keep on moving no matter what. If I have to tip toe in every single step, I will. I dedicate this writing to one of my dearest friend, hopefully you'll read this and boost every energy you have. I wish you will find happiness soon!
A perfect Sunday movie, I give this movie 3,5/5 stars!
