This is a film that returns to its original beauty. "la la land" satisfies all my fantasies about movies, beautiful scenery, innovation in traditional forms, unconventional architecture, and a tribute to the golden age, not to mention the soundtrack that makes me cry just by listening. The director is very mature and sophisticated, not only ambitious, but also talented enough. The elements of song and dance are almost the history of the development of the whole song and dance film, which is suitable for fans.
la la land is an inspirational, self-absorbed and ambitious self-expression in Hollywood. On the surface, it is la la land, but in fact it is a city that loves shadows. Behind the golden age of dreams, love, nostalgia and praise, it is innovation and prospect. This is a romantic and beautiful love movie, and many paragraphs are revisited? Singin' in the Rain? The feeling. It is la la land, the city of stars, and the place where dreams and reality come and go. Facts have proved how important it is to have a good ending, which makes the original unremarkable narrative step into the sky! Even with tears streaming down her face, her chest is as warm as a bonfire.
Analogous to The Artist, a popular love story is told in the form of music and musical, with the main techniques reaching the peak. Different branches of music, song and dance types in the history of film series (MGM, Jinjie Fred, Big Jazz, Jacques Demi, contemporary band films and concert films) set each other off in different paragraphs, which is not only inheritance but also genre evolution, retro and innovative, and can sublimate the theme of love, both inside and outside.
some people may think that this movie uses clumsy dancing and out-of-tune singing to decorate the American dream complex that is boring to grandma's house. The golden age of Hollywood musicals was in the 193s and 195s. La la land catered to the nostalgia of modern people, and also made a retro model. However, its dance movements are stiff, the songs are dumb and ridiculous, the plot is all routine, and the performance is deliberately embarrassing. It's completely famous, but it's actually very poor. It can be said to be the ugliest musical in history.
Although the story is old-fashioned, the key to musical films lies in music. Not only is every song good to listen to, but the main ost song with various tone sandhi throughout is even better. There is also a delicate framing, and Los Angeles in the sunset is really beautiful. Musical films, as a specific genre, have been passed down for almost a hundred years, and they have better emotional rendering ability. Therefore, to a great extent, I don't understand or like it is not because of the problem of artistic appreciation, but because of the different emotional demands in a specific cultural context.
In any case, the opening scene is a mirror, and the song and dance paragraphs are amazing, the dream-chasing/love description is exquisite, and all kinds of dazzling techniques, long shots, changing lighting and retro art designs show different audio-visual appeal from the bursting drummer, and the young director has made a leap from independence to commercial films. The song and dance part is both a tribute to the golden age and a freshness of keeping pace with the times. All kinds of conventional Hollywood bridges, lighting, choreography and costumes are full of classic Hollywood flavor. The entanglement between dreams and love is even more reminiscent of the golden age after the war. This proves once again that musical films are the most soothing films in the era of economic downturn.
This sentimental film can warm up the cruel reality in the play. Like the director's previous film, The Burst Drummer pays attention to the frustrated people, and those who love it must also love the shadow culture, unprovoked rebellion, honey trap, Casablanca, bringing up baby and Shakespeare's love story, and pay a subtle tribute. At the same time, as a musical film of this type, it is romantic and beautiful as a whole, and the costume scenery is in place, which has a tear-jerking high tide.
once something is lost, it will never be recovered. When the director arranged another life at the end of the film, I burst into tears. People in the world cherish wealth and think that it is happiness. When all the dust settles, looking back, it seems that there is another possibility. And in that possibility, is the real happiness. I believe that after several years, this will be a film of great significance. It has all illusions about love, and it also shows the magic of movie dreaming. It is because of movies that we can make up for the defects in reality, and it is because of the defects that we are so obsessed with love.
