Movie: Once

Pam and I watched "Once" tonight. Wow, what a charming movie! Mostly a modern musical, set on the streets of an English city. Probably 60% music.

  • No villain. In fact, no unlikable characters, period.
  • No conflict.
  • No denouemont. There's a word I haven't used since creative writing class.
  • Parents, but not the typical disapproving parents (always a cheap source of plot conflict).
  • No professional actors.

A story without conflict? Is that really possible? Yep.

My brother, Rick, told me to see "Once," and added, "You can thank me later." Well Rick: thanks.
