It's a movie about love, and it's also a love for movies

After seeing the last twenty minutes, I finally understand why the score is so high.

I basically didn’t get into the state for the first hour, especially when the road was jammed in the opening section and then danced. I almost laughed, trying to gag popcorn to prevent myself from shaking too much. I’m sorry, I really watched too much mom. The video of fighting dance is a bit big.

The picture is as beautiful as in the trailer, and the vocal part is not disappointing at all. It is not surprising that it is worthy of the title of its music film, and it makes people constantly think of Songs in the Rain. It will inevitably remind people of previous artists.

As a music idiot, my evaluation of songs can only reach the stage where they are good or not. The part of men and women dancing under the main street lights is really very moving, and the silhouettes under the stars in the observatory are really romantic. And I finally got the charm of Commander High in this movie. He is really a good actor. Whether he is dancing or singing or acting emotionally, he is very beautiful. I checked his information and it turns out that he is also a singer. He is really a man. Carried up the performance quality of the entire movie. Sister Shitou, I can still understand her face, but her eyes are too big, so her close-up shots are very strange. There is a segment in which she sings and needs to be particularly beautiful. The climax is watching her. Her face is too strange, and then she will be brought out of the plot by this strangeness. In the rival scene of her quarrel with Commander Gao, she can really see the gap between her and the good actors.

Generally speaking, it’s not as good as I thought, but I particularly understand the reason for the high score of this film. I believe it can poke the hearts of many people who love movies. In addition to the tribute to old Hollywood, there is also the reappearance of old movies. In addition to the beautiful pictures and music, the most important thing is the last 20 minutes of editing. In fact, the story of the whole movie is not very good. The lines and plots are average. If they are placed in ordinary dramas, it will be six to seven. The divided movies, and even certain sections, can be said to be a bit vulgar, but the last section of the editing is so beautiful. I think everyone who likes movies can stand and applaud for the last twenty minutes, which fully demonstrates the charm of the movie. A movie is an art that uses pictures, and the selection of each frame and the splicing of each montage expression and display may bring us a completely different story (in fact, it is in line with the story of the film). In my opinion, lalaland is a beautiful and moving love movie, and also a love letter to confess the art of film.
