在许多小说或者电影中，如果作家或者编剧能够讲述一个打动人心的故事，尤其是给为故事的主人公设定一个逆袭的套路，即由窘迫甚至凄惨的现实到励志奋斗直至收获世俗意义的成功或者突破自我设置的枷锁，其中穿插亲情或者爱情由破碎到和解，以及寻求自我实现的艰辛历程，这样的故事总能收获一大波读者或者观众的喜爱。
若是作家或者导演格外注重细节的刻画和细腻情感的传达，能让大家产生内心的共鸣，这种由低沉而逐渐高昂的偏励志的故事，总能让人会心一笑，或许还能赚到读者或观众的几滴眼泪，顺手打上一个高分。小说《岛上书店》里的书店老板是这样，电影《当幸福来敲门》中的父亲同样不例外。
而2013年由约翰·卡尼导演兼编剧的电影《再次出发之纽约遇见你》也可以被划归为这一类型，但它最大的亮点其实是大量原创音乐与故事本身完美的融合。

这部电影豆瓣评分8.5，主角是饰演过“绿巨人”的马克·鲁弗洛、出演过《傲慢与偏见》女主的凯拉·奈特莉以及摇滚乐队魔力红的主唱亚当·莱文。
故事可以分成两条线，一是马克饰演的唱片制作人丹不仅仅家庭受挫，离婚后与妻子女儿的隔阂日渐加深，更因为种种原因不得不从他一手创办的唱片公司离职，潦倒落魄的他甚至连一杯啤酒的钱都付不起，而他生命的转机出现在酒吧一首歌曲的响起。
该歌曲的演唱者格雷塔（由凯拉·奈特莉饰演）同样受挫的经历则是另一条线索。酷爱音乐的她随男友远离英国来到纽约追寻音乐梦想，然而男友一唱成名后却移情别恋，她愤而离开，继续在底层苦苦挣扎。
小小的酒吧里，格雷塔自弹自唱的一曲终了，台下观众反应平平，但独具慧眼的丹却发现了她的音乐才华。二人一拍即合，决定合作。
尽管面临资金短缺、设备简陋、配乐人员不足等多重难题，他们却在一众朋友的帮助下，苦中作乐，以偌大的纽约城作为录音棚，以街头巷尾甚至帝国大厦为背景，全凭自身的才华和不懈的努力，终于录制出了独一无二的唱片，终于再次出发一路向前，最后大获成功。
在这一逐梦的过程中，丹与妻女渐渐和解，而格雷塔也最终走出了过去恋情的阴影，开始迎接新生活，电影的基调渐渐变得更明朗而欢快。

整部电影的故事线并不复杂，情节甚至算不上多么有新意，一句话概括就是两个落魄的音乐人在命运的低谷中彼此成全并走出困境的故事，但它最大的亮点在于恰到好处而又打动人心的音乐为剧情增添了无穷的魅力。
正是因此，它还曾获得第87届奥斯卡最佳原创歌曲提名。
譬如，丹与格雷塔第一次相遇时，后者演唱这首A Step You Can't Take，恰恰符合丹心灰意冷而又孤立无援的心境，因为它正是为大都市里徘徊在孤独边缘的人所创作。

再比如这首Lost Stars《迷途的星星》在电影中反复出现，唱出了年轻而迷茫一代的心声， Keira Knightley的女生版更轻柔动听。
歌词最后一句话Are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark? “我们是否都是迷途的星星，想要发出光芒，照亮夜空？”将追梦过程中的无奈与希望娓娓唱出。
Please don't see
just a girl caught up in dreams
and fantasies
Please see me reaching out
for someone I can see
Take my hand let's see
where we wake up tomorrow
Best laid plans sometimes
it's just a one night stand
I'd be damned Cupid's demanding
back his arrow
So let's get drunk on our tears and
God, tell us the reason
youth is wasted on the young
It's hunting season
and this lamb is on the run
Searching for meaning
But are we all lost stars,
trying to light up the dark?
Who are we?
Just a speck of dust within the galaxy
Woe is me if we're not careful
turns into reality
Don't you dare let all these memories
bring you sorrow
Yesterday I saw a lion kiss a deer
Turn the page maybe
we'll find a brand new ending
Where we're dancing in our tears and
God, tell us the reason youth
is wasted on the young
It's hunting season
and this lamb is on the run
Searching for meaning
But are we all lost stars,
trying to light up the dark?
I thought I saw you out there crying
I thought I heard you call my name
I thought I heard you out there crying
Just the same
God, tell us the reason
youth is wasted on the young
It's hunting season
and this lamb is on the run
Searching for meaning
But are we all lost stars,
trying to light up the dark?
I thought I saw you out there crying
I thought I heard you call my name
I thought I heard you out there crying
But are we all lost stars,
trying to light up the dark?
But are we all lost stars,
trying to light up the dark?
电影中还有不少其他原声歌曲，与故事情节紧密结合，融入了独特的美感。
总之，这部片子适合在某个阳光温暖的周末午后，一边看影片一边细细体味其中的旋律。
