My favorite point is that Mia can walk into Seb's at the end of the film, and the hero and heroine can meet again because Mia's husband heard the jazz playing in the bar and asked Mia if he wanted to go in there. It can be seen from this detail that Mia and her husband both like jazz and have a common hobby. It is even possible that this hobby is an opportunity for them to meet or fall in love.
And we all know that the heroine was influenced by Seb and gradually fell in love with jazz. Seb believes that he has a mission to promote jazz, and making Mia, who was originally "hate jazz", successfully fall in love with jazz, which is also a small step in the realization of his dream.
The two main themes of the film are love and dreams. It is precisely because of the realization of each other's dreams that they meet again and have the last smile.
Therefore, the reunion of Mia and Seb pays tribute to "Casablanca" "there are so many cities in the world, there are so many bars in the city, but she came to my bar" at the same time, it gives the meaning of the dream, and also has Destined ingredients, after all, there are not many jazz bars in the world.
Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine.
The director said in the behind-the-scenes documentary that the ending is set to meet again after the two separated, and at the same time, both of them have realized their dreams. It is like giving each other a gift. Even if the relationship fails, this gift is very beautiful.
Speaking of this film, I have to mention the music. Every piece of music is just right, and every episode is both pleasant and in line with the theme. The Oscar's best soundtrack deserves its name. At the same time, two of the five best song nominations are from this film. , to maintain the dignity of the musical.
Director Damien Chazelle and composer Justin Hurwitz work seamlessly together, and the music and plot complement each other. Here we focus on Mia & Sebastian's Theme , which appears four times in the plot (that is, in the form of non-soundtrack):
First time, first acquaintance. Seb played Christmas songs in the restaurant against his will, and his fingers jumped to the music in his heart. Mia passed by and heard it, walked into the restaurant, and met Seb. This was the second time they met in the same day. The beginning of the ending montage is also here.
The second time, about the film, "for research". Mia had to eat with Greg, who was her date at the time. She felt bored and expected to go to Seb's movie date. When she heard this song on the radio, she decided to leave;
The third time, during the exchange, the two had a big fight, and the relationship broke down. On the day of Mia's stage play, Seb was left to take pictures and was anxious to see Mia cheer for her. The photographer asked him to play whatever he wanted, and he pressed a few notes, which was exactly this song;
The fourth time, we met after five years of separation. Seb looked at her, said "Welcome to Seb's," and bounced again.
Mia & Sebastian's Theme runs through the two people's relationship from beginning to end. It appears when they miss each other, clever and romantic.
A few other little details:
1. The character of the male protagonist is very successful, cute and arrogant, almost perfect boyfriend. I am very concerned about the heroine and memorize the details of the conversation, such as the heroine works on the Warner Bros. studio, there is a library in front of the house, the film that is being auditioned, and I remember the name of the other party in the heroine's phone call, Greg, etc. After the dance, the male protagonist helped the female protagonist get the high heels. The female protagonist found the car and asked him if he wanted to take him to the car. The male protagonist said that his car was not far up the mountain. After the male protagonist waited for the female protagonist to leave his sight, he walked down the hillside. It turned out that his car was at the door.
2. The title of the film is named La La Land. First, it refers to Los Angeles, where the story takes place, or LA for short. Second, it uses the Hollywood alias La-La Land. This film tells a story of chasing dreams in LA, especially in Hollywood, and special locations are a major theme.
3. The first and last time the hero and heroine met was because of traffic jams, which is also a major feature of Los Angeles.
4. The second song , Someone In The Crowd , appeared in the opening chapter , foreshadowing the key to Mia's subsequent success. That casting director was Mia's someone in the crowd.
5. As the story progresses to the fall, a big FALL is used in the film. The pun of fall is used here, not only to remind the season, but also to indicate the crack in the relationship between the two.
Here's some fun behind the scenes, from IMDb's official website:
1. Emma Watson turned down the female lead role in La La Land because of the Beauty and the Beast scheduling conflict, while Ryan Gosling turned down the male lead role of the Beast because of the La La Land.
2. Neither Emma Stone nor Ryan Gosling had traditional professional dance training.
3. Ryan Gosling plays guitar and John Legend (who plays Keith, the lead singer of the band who invites Seb to join the band) plays piano, and they both practice each other's instruments for their roles.
4. The storyline is related to the real stories of the male and female protagonists. For example, Emma Stone left school at the age of 15 and moved to LA to pursue her acting dream; the scene where Mia was interrupted during the audition in the film came from Gosling's real experience.
