1. Begin Again (2013)
In the film “Begin Again,” directed by John Carney, the protagonists are an aspiring singer-songwriter named Gretta and an unsuccessful record label executive named Dan. By a stroke of good fortune, the two ran into each other and made a spontaneous decision to collaborate on an album by recording tracks in various public places spread throughout the city of New York. Both “Dati Akong Sikat” and “Simulan Muli” share some similarities, including the depiction of an unexpected meeting between two artists, where one is an aspiring artist while the other is a struggling one, and the successful collaboration resulting from their meeting.
Start Again-Plot
Dan Mulligan, a once successful record label executive now living in New York City and separated from his wife Miriam, is struggling to keep up with the rapidly evolving music business. He was drinking after being fired, which led him to a pub on the Lower East Side where he met Gretta James.
Gretta, a young, fiercely independent composer from England, recently broke up with Dave Kohl, her longtime songwriting partner and boyfriend. He is a young, successful musician who slept with a production assistant. Gretta initially rejects Dan’s request to sign her to his former record label because she is mesmerized by his music, but changes her mind and accepts.
Saul, Dan’s business partner and co-founder of the record label, meets with Dan and Gretta, but he doesn’t see the same commitment in her and rejects her. Undeterred, Dan suggests they work together to create their own album, to be recorded live during the summer in various public spaces across the city. Dan sets out to create an album to release by assembling a group of skilled musicians, including Steve (a busker and a good friend of Gretta’s). Dan and Gretta developed a close personal and professional relationship during this time, and he tutored Violet, his teenage daughter and a budding guitarist, and pushed her to contribute to the record.
When Gretta witnesses Dave accept an award on television, she accuses him of giving up on the music business. With Steve’s help, she records a song on Dave’s voice message in which she airs her complaints to him. Back in New York promoting her new album, a contrite Dave answers her call and asks to meet her. He chooses to meet her after thinking about it, and they talk about each other’s albums.
Gretta feels cheated by Dave’s overtly marketed performance of “Lost Stars,” a love song he wrote and performed for her as a Christmas present, and feels that the original intent of the song has been undermined. He said the crowd was enthusiastic and they enjoyed the way he played it. She thinks sharing music with others is what it’s all about, but Gretta says that wasn’t what she had in mind when she wrote that song. However, Dave encourages her to attend his performance of the song at the Gramercy Theater on the weekend so that she can observe the reactions of her followers.
When the record is complete, Dan, Gretta, and Saul reconnect. Saul was very pleased with their cooperation. He sought Dan’s job from Saul in exchange for a larger cut of the income. Undecided, they go their separate ways, but Dan is certain that Saul will finally agree to marry Gretta. Later, after much thought and after receiving a text message from Dave reminding her of his show, Gretta arrives at the venue in time to see Dave perform his original arrangement of the song.
At first Greta was as happy to hear their music as she had imagined as she listened to them play, but when the song ended and the audience began to applaud, she realized that so much had changed. As a frustrated Dave continues to sing, the woman exits the concert and walks around the city with a sense of newfound optimism and closure.
After reconciling with her husband, Gretta visits Dan at his apartment as he prepares to go home. He told her that he would rather sell his record online for $1 than have it released. Dan returns to work with Saul, but he allows Gretta to distribute the album online and help promote it. The next day, Saul jokingly fires Dan for supporting Gretta’s album and tells him that it has 10,000 first day sales.
