Love is evil, marriage is exorcism

The What if at the end of "La La Land" is very tear-jerking, you can see the passage of time, and everything looks like it's all over again, which is in line with the film's narrative of the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, sighing that people's feelings cannot be reincarnated. return. The over-hearted person couldn't help but ask one more question: If so, so what?

What if they kept going and stayed together? Haven't you become a dazzling star, had children, entrusted the child to a nanny, and carried her husband to the next reception in style? Not playing all night with your buddies in your own bar, listening to the cheers of the crowd, and being alone in your own world? Dreams may be settled, but what about mutual love?

"It's better for them not to be together..." Can you hear the director's sigh when the theater lights are on?

So be sure to exhaust the romantic means on the streets and foothills of Los Angeles, and give an account of the past of these two people, when they were still eating instant noodles for their dreams. So at the end of the film, we have to use up all the glitz and give them a happy life in the extremely beautiful artificial set. Which is more illusory and which is more realistic?

Commander Gao said to Sister Stone: You only love me when I am down. This is really hurtful. Sister Stone broke out on the spot and rushed out of the door, but does it really make no sense? A sensitive and self-respecting person like him must have smelled something ominous. These words must have been back and forth in his heart before he blurted out.

"La La Land" tells you that all songs and dances happen when you are in love, and when you are not in love, there is only dialogue and silence. At the beginning of the film, these two people who will eventually meet are stuck in traffic on the road, but everything is full of hope at that time, and everyone dances, announcing that a love will happen. In the traffic flow at the end of the night, Sister Shitou was in a trance, and we thought what would happen, but the car continued to block, forcing the couple to temporarily leave the trajectory of their lives and find an accident that was destined to be unhappy.

In the movie, you can also regard singing and dancing as a kind of evil performance. If they dance and sing, you will know that the flames of the two people have not been extinguished. That kind of fire would ignite those around, making them dance and sing too. It was frustrating afterward that they sat there looking at each other peacefully, saying instead of singing "I will always love you".

It is the time when it must be interrupted, otherwise everything will come back, as is false at the end of the film, the people who love each other form a family, their faces are blurred in the bright set, and sometimes they become silhouettes. It was like a gorgeous exorcism ceremony, going all the way to get rid of loneliness, innocence, willfulness and dreams, leaving a normal personality and a perfect life.

Well, the flame in my heart is still blown out by the person who is not the one I love the most.
