Every time I watched Once, this strange feelings always occurs.
I knew about this movie in 2011. I was in the middle of my Eurotrip, in the small village in Germany. I visited a good friend of mine which we met in Taizé back in 2008. I stayed for two nights in her home with her lovely family.
I had a wonderful and beautiful time there.
Before I came to that village, my trip was rushing. But in that village, my good friend showed her slow and quite life in the middle of the big field of corn and wheat. We rode a bike, we cooked, we sat under the shades, we listened to good songs. Until on my last night there, she introduced me to a song which I never heard before. It called "Falling Slowly" and she said the song won an Oscar for the movie Once.
Then she took a guitar and taught me how to sing it. The song is a duet, she said. She taught me the guitar chord. Then we sang it together. In that warm and cosy living room, somewhere in Europe.
Back in Indonesia, I looked the film. I watched it.
And it struck me, inside out.
