I think that Begin Again shows us that people think they have a perfect life but something happens and they have to change everything, start again, meet new people, and do everything they ever wanted to do before but couldn't.

I liked Begin Again because it is not a typical movie about 2 people who fell in love or a perfect woman who found a perfect man. This movie shows that it is important is to be good to yourself and not always need other people to be happy.

Overall, I feel that Begin Again is worth watching because you can learn that sometimes the end is a new beginning and the good things in life are what you love, family, and friends.

This movie has 2 principals actors who are Gretta and Dan.

Gretta represents hope because, she thought she was happy, had a famous singer boyfriend of many years, good friends, and was talented in composing and singing. But when her boyfriend decided to end the relationship, her world fell apart. She had to start again, change her life and in this change she helped to change the life of many people that were lost or were sad.

Dan represents passion because he love music is his passion and for this love he can change his life because he had alcohol problems, a bad relationship with his daughter and his wife, and was fired from his job. When he met Gretta, he thought that he would help her, but she and the music helped him to be a better person and thanks to the music everybody found the way in their lives.

The most important event in Begin Again happens when she meets Dan and decides to be a singer. At this moment everything star she managed to overcome her boyfriend, meet new people, and fulfil her dream.

The part of Begin Again I liked best was when it showed what they had to do to record because they didn't have money and for this reason the musicians were music students, and had to record on the street. They were very witty.

The part of Begin Again I liked least was when Dan felt confused, because in the movie it was not very clear what he felt for Gretta, in one part he wanted kiss her, but in another he wanted to be close to his ex wife.

I would recommend Begin Again because it is interesting, different and funny movie. It is a story with great actors, a great plot and a spectacular soundtrack. It’s not a musical in which most of the movie is singing, it is a drama that is accompanied by good music.
