Who is your favorite character in this movie, and why?

Gretta.
I love her elegance and soul.
She is slim and feminine, but she shows strength in her own way.The way she sings is so unique, and fascinating, I always think there are two people in her body.    




What have you learned from this movie?

I didn't know Keira Knightly can sing;
Adam Levine can act, and Mark Ruffalo is totally different from my mental image.
    

Is there anything you want to do differently if you were the character?

If I were Dan, I would drink less alcohol and tell his family what I really think, express my caring and love in more suitable way. Learn how to communicate and share the feeling with love ones.
       




Did you learn anything new about you after watching this movie?

I am obsessed with her meaningful glance in the film. 
At the end of the movie, Gretta rides her bike and leave the bar, I think it's a look of firmness and forgiveness in her eyes. I really like her attitude toward the one she had loved before, neither hatred nor suffering, she really lets go of something haunting for a long time.
     
Which scene or song or any part of the movie that you like the best? Talk about it.

Lost stars sung by Adam Levine and/or Keira Knightly.
They sing in a totally different way, but both of them will touch your heart and moved to tears.
The most impressive part is when Dave tried to win back Gretta, he sang this song on the stage, Gretta gave him a smile at the dim place of the exit. It's subtle but meaningful, none of them speak, but both of them understand everything.
