I shuffled out of the theater, in a trance, pinching a bag of dirty tissues that had blown my nose and wiped my tears, my eyes and nose were faintly painful, and it was touching my temples and brain, which may be convulsed by soaring intraocular pressure. Back tendons.
Such a strong physical and psychological reaction is enough to explain what La La Land means to me. It is different from this year or other movies I have watched in the past few years. Yes, as long as I think of Mia's look back at the end of the movie and Seb's smile. The tearful eyes and sensibility tell me how different are they? La La Land, and other movies, that's it.
First of all, it gathers all the elements that I can't help but love: retro Hollywood, jazz, love and dreams. Ironically, it is presented in a musical form that I have never been able to eat. I admit that I am a bit biased against musicals. Even though it has been around for a long time, I always feel that singing, dancing, and lyrics are a kind of cute format to supplement the incompetence and paleness of the director, screenwriter and storytelling, just like the narration is also very disgusting to me. What's even more ironic is, if you ask me, take music out of it? I would say, no, it just has to be what we see on the big screen now, as it should be.
Because La La Land does not have the embarrassment and dryness of "talking and singing", not at all, on the contrary, thanks to the exquisite structure of the story and the passionate performances of the actors, the jazz pianist Sebastian, who has never met with talent, and the audition have repeatedly The little actor Mia, who didn’t know each other, had met, fell in love, and separated. They are all "gentle and subtle" rarely seen in Hollywood movies now. I have not seen many old movies but there are some. There is really an illusion of going back to the old time. There is no words. With explicit lines, no sexual hints but full of affection, pure love is flowing in the eyes, fingers, and toes of a man and a woman. Yes, what I have always wanted to say is that the reason why La La Land touches me so much, It's because its retro is not only formal, but emotionally back to basics, it is a true pure love movie.
Therefore, the emotion is in the middle, there is no expression, only singing, dancing, and dancing. When musical is no longer just a format, but because of the emotional power, I was completely persuaded.
As a result, there is no barrier or barrier between me and La La Land, almost since Seb and Mia secretly shake hands with the observatory in the cinema, my tear ducts are out of control. It is my Jim and Judy who are obsessed with James Dean. For me, the Griffith Observatory in "Rebel Without a Cause" (Rebel Without a Cause) is an important landmark that will come to mind when you close your eyes. In La La Land, Seb and Mia have become like The dream of love makes me cry.
It’s said that movies are the products of selling love and dreams, but I haven’t found these two things in movies for a long time. The words that the heart is slightly painful and the eye sockets can’t help being moist are so light and so heavy. La La Land is like this, because it doesn’t sell dog meat, smuggles the soul’s chicken soup or secular value. Two people who love each other are together because of love and dreams, and they are separated because of love and dreams. From beginning to end, the depiction is The appearance and growth of the two people in love, seemingly magical and gorgeous, but the story content is so real, so heartbeat, heartache-
but not heartbroken. Seb said, you must go to Paris to pursue your dreams, and I will stay here and follow my plan. Mia said, I will always love you.
Love is not free from groaning, love is not decadent and negative, love is not pretending to be generous, love is love, so let him/her be him/her, love is dance shoes and musical notes, the most wonderful magic is cast on Seb and Mia.
Love is also invincible, not only refers to the love for a certain person, but the persistence of dreams, the love of the world. In the last Audition, Mia sang Here's to the ones who dream, foolish as they may seem, I almost cried bitterly, but fortunately there were few in the same scene, and I was alone in a row, so I cried heartily and happily, crying to nothing Doubt is not wronged, but relieved to be understood. If you have had a dream, if you have loved, if you have been hurt, you are still willing to love and dream, how can you not cry.
I love La La Land. It is rich and colorful, with wonderful sounds and sounds, but the best thing is that it is pure. Every beat and every drum beat is the key, which makes people face the deepest heart.
I love La La Land. I saw a different Ryan Gosling. Starting from Murder by Numbers, I didn’t deliberately but inadvertently watched him go from a slick and slick young man to who he is today, since Blue Valentine. It's really hard to resist the charm he exudes on the screen. He has an old-school Hollywood temperament. Sebastian has fulfilled my beautiful imagination of him. He is funny but not sly, passionate but not crazy, which is just right.
I love La La Land. I see Emma Stone who is free. I always like her. She has green eyes, white skin and long legs. She likes Easy A and Help, but I also see her inadequate in Irrational Man and Magic in the Moonlight. , Emma, who seemed to be missing something, finally found the right way in La La Land. The overall performance fell on sugarcane, and the final fatal blow completely subdued me.
I seldom advertise or recommend anything to others, because I am a good kind of petty kid who wants to hide his exclusive, but at this moment, listening to the original soundtrack of the movie, I especially want to stand on the hills of Griffith Park and shout:
To see La La Land, to love, to dream.
