Once

I just want to talk on Sundays movie Once. This was a really good movie but I was bothered by how it all played out at the end, the guitarist (played by Glen Hansard) not getting the girl, (which was played by Markéta Irglová) but more importantly the part she played in the outcome in particular. One thing about her seems clear to me, she wanted no romantic relationship with him, but it was painfully obvious that he did, so why did she put him through all this heartache. At the beginning, he wanted nothing to do with her. It seems like she was just cruelly playing with his emotions. The guy was hurting at the end but she was smiling, happy being reunited with her husband as if nothing happened. The guy left broken, but then again, he was broken to beginning with. Then I started thinking of what she said at the beginning when she threw her 10 cents in his guitar case," I see you every day playing and you never played that song". I think what she saw in him was a gifted man in pain, that give up on life. I think all her questions, prying into his personal life was really just, her trying to figure out why. It turns out that he has a treasure trove of songs that he abandoned when his girlfriend left. I think Markéta Irglová  only intention were to get him to act on his talent. Yes, just like in the beginning, the film shows him broken again but this time he's going somewhere with his talent. She seems coldhearted at first but now she seems more like a mastermind. When it comes to her getting involved in his life, I believe she was just trying to ride the rail of, not enough to get him to do anything, to just enough, for his sake.
