Acquaintance

From a 4:3 black and white frame painting to a Technicolor widescreen, it pays homage to the classic Hollywood movies. Under the package of musical dramas, men and women meet and know each other by fate; the obscure coffee waiter dreams of being a star, the jazz keyboard player is obsessed with outdated artistic persistence, and the Hollywood purple is drunk and gold fans. It is a bumpy road to pursue dreams, similar to Singin' in the Rain (1952) and A Star is Born (1954). In the opening scene, under the bright sun, traffic jams the road, people dance, and the first move is ahead; the night is long, the street lights are dim, the duplicitous duet sings, sparks and cuts through the loneliness; a song "City of Stars", which runs through the whole film, The melody is winding and exciting. The stage of DreamWorks is like a phantom, the moving camera movements, and the long shots in one go, blurring the boundary between reality and fantasy; at the end of the reunion, a song affects a dream. (An American in Paris, 1951) last seventeen minutes of ballet. Hollywood turned out to be a dream, with gains and losses. The past is over, I looked back and smiled, but I regretted that there was no way to eliminate this situation, so I raised my brows, but turned to my heart.

    Worse than Birdman and Burst Drummer combined

    I listened to the big screen with Norwegian subtitles naked. If the realization of each other’s dreams surpasses love, then what touches the audience is another parallel world of love itself as a perfect dream that has never been realized. This sounds a bit paradoxical, but it seems to be a let-off bet for this movie. . No matter singing, dancing or music, it is a wonderful fantasy that breeds in LA and the world of movies.

La La Land quotes

  • Mia: I've been to a million auditions, and the same thing happens every time, where I get interrupted because someone wants to get a sandwich. Or I'm crying, and they start laughing. Or there's people sitting in the waiting room, and they're... and they're like me but prettier and better at the... because maybe I'm not good enough.

    Sebastian: Yes, you are.

    Mia: No... no, maybe I'm not.

    Sebastian: Yes, you are.

    Mia: Maybe I'm not.

    Sebastian: You are.

    Mia: Maybe I'm not.

    Sebastian: You are.

  • Mia: Maybe I'm one of those people that has always wanted to do it, but it's like a pipe dream for me, you know? And then you... you said it, you-you changed your dreams, and then you grow up. Maybe I'm one of those people, and I'm not supposed to. And I can go back to school, and I can find something else I'm supposed to do. 'Cause I left to do that, and it's been six years, and I don't wanna do it anymore.

    Sebastian: Why?

    Mia: Why what?

    Sebastian: Why don't you want to do it anymore?

    Mia: 'Cause I think it hurts a little bit too much.

    Sebastian: You're a baby.

    Mia: I'm not a baby.

    Sebastian: You are.

    Mia: I'm trying to grow up.

    Sebastian: You're crying like a baby.

    Mia: Oh, my god.

    Sebastian: And you have an audition tomorrow at 5:30. I'll be out front at 8:00 a.m. You'll be out front or not, I don't know.

    Mia: How did you find me here?

    Sebastian: The house in front of the library.
