Duras
I haven't seen such a nice and gentlemanly movie for a long time. I declare that this film belongs to a relatively small musical film group. If I have no interest and affection for it, I will be a little bored. The most beautiful part of this film is the scheduling of a large number of long shots, the lighting of the scene, the collocation of colors, and the composition of the picture, including music and dance, all of which give people profound sensory stimulation and pleasant beauty. Especially in the planetarium, when gravity disappears and flies to the starry sky, the figure is dreamy and amazing.
The original English name of this film is "La La Land", which was originally a nickname of Los Angeles, and was praised by film critics as "a love letter to Los Angeles". There are many landmarks in Los Angeles in the film. For example, the opening group dance was shot on the 1 10 highway, the hero and heroine met in Wattata, and Ryan Gosling sang the first original song named after Oscar, which was shot in Hamosa Beach. The dance of the two stars took place at Griffith Observatory, a dating guide in Los Angeles. (The translation of place names is unknown and has not been verified) LA? Los Angeles? An interpretation of land: immersed in your own world or translated into a fantasy city.
If you just watch the movie introduction, La la land doesn't seem so attractive. For me, an opening dance and a nice translation are enough. This movie is a story that we are familiar with and almost tired of. It is nothing more than parting and missing, but at the same time it is so beautiful. Commander Gao, a pianist who loves free jazz, and Shi Jie, an actress who has a dream of performing, went from meeting and making friends by chance to becoming attached to music, knowing each other and falling in love, and finally had to part because of pursuing their respective dreams. It sounds like an old routine, but it is precisely because of the bad plot that realistic satire works are created, and the beauty of tragedy is the most real and touching. I won't tell you that I actually cried once a year, once a year. It's just that there are few endings, especially in winter. I was caught off guard for five years, but fortunately there was a final montage ending. )
There are many adult fairy tales in this play. In order to make the woman happy, the man gave up his dream to earn money to support his family, and the woman went all out to support him because of his dream. In the end, I found that each other's hopes and efforts were far from the original intention. From the perspective of the law of conservation of energy, what was gained was bound to be lost. Just like in The Gift of the Magi, the man bought a hairpin for the woman's watch, and the woman cut the man's long hair and changed the watch chain. It seems that two people who have nothing have gained the most precious love. Also like the dream catcher in the play, he achieved his ideal life with the most beautiful regrets. The most painful thing is that you spend your life trying to decorate other people's dreams, which is also considered imperfect in perfection. So many years later, when Mia became famous and dressed smartly, she went into the coffee shop where she worked to buy coffee. The star she once met in the shop is now a waitress in a coffee shop. I read this online, I don't know if it's right. Isn't there a better example to interpret and satirize the sentence "Life is like a play, and a play is like life"? The woman realized her dream of becoming an excellent actor, and the man realized his dream of opening a jazz club, but their lives have long belonged to each other.
This love story in Los Angeles seems to have happened yesterday, today and tomorrow. It is so real and rational. In the end, the director projected the illusion of love with the theme song "Star City" played by the hero himself, which gave everyone a knowing blow. We met just to prove that life is not so beautiful at first sight. Even if love becomes a thing of the past, we should have confidence.
Behind-the-scenes tidbits: The director is Damien Chazelle, who surprised the 20 14 Oscar with the musical "Burst Drummer" which was abandoned for many years and could not find an investment script, and got this film with his classmates who also like jazz. Without his persistence, I'm afraid there would be no film!
