I am a huge fan of the film Once which won an academy award last year for best song. One of the most beautiful things about the film was its backstory, namely, that its stars Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova who were friends, became a couple during filming. I saw them perform last May at Radio City and they were just so adorable together (which was also clear to anyone who saw them at the Oscars). That rapport and sense of genuine affection certainly helped contribute to the beauty of the film and its music.
So I was really sad to read this story today about their break-up: http://news.yahoo.com/s/eonline/20090127/en_top_eo/80942. Of course life is sometimes like that but next time I listen to the music or see the film, I don't think I will see it in quite the same way. Oh well - it was touching while it lasted!

But arguably the movie ending suggests relationships don't have to be permanent to be beautiful and meaningful...
