我不信《曾经》导演约翰•卡尼没有看过这片！<Begin Again>的故事架构和这片有异曲同工之妙，连演员都有“借”（Glen我爱你！），只可惜比不上自己的处女作了。回到这部，有很俗气的情节，但爱尔兰电影的气质让它没有沦落为“平庸”。在我看来音乐片最重要的不只是歌曲和情节的粘合度，还有“真诚”。因为音乐骗不了人，而一部音乐片通过音乐想要表达的东西决定了其高度。《追梦者》展现的乐队的烦心事没有盖过他们在台上的光芒。无论何时，任何一类艺术都可以成为你对抗世界的工具
隔了十七年，电影里那个认真弹着吉他的20岁年轻人Glen Hansard谈到这部电影时说道：
“I loved making that film but everything afterwards was very confusing. We went to America and they tried to turn us into a real band, it was a big promo gravy train, and the thing is the Commitments weren't actually a very good band. I felt like a cheat. We were being promoted like rock stars, and then it was over. It's a bit like what's going on with reality TV: imagine giving somebody everything they've ever wanted for a month, then taking it all back. It was an awful experience in terms of feeling emotionally robbed. And I was stuck with Outspan for years. Everybody I met thought I was that guy."

以下是剧透短视频的解说文案，用于冷门佳片快速预览。
爱尔兰都柏林小年轻杰米酷爱音乐，
自称是混迹音乐圈好多年的人，
实际上从学校毕业后一直是在干销售做点小买卖，没有正式的工作。
世界上没有任何一个国家像爱尔兰那样，
每年举行那么多盛况空前的音乐节。
都柏林是欧洲一个重要的音乐中心。
上世纪90年代。
都柏林人口仅三百多万，
但有一千两百多个乐队，
杰米为实现理想决定组建一支
“世界上最卖力的乐队” 唱灵魂歌曲，
将美国黑人灵魂音乐引入爱尔兰的都柏林，
要用普通大众的语言，
追梦者：Roger Ebert的影评翻译
