By the time jazz pianist Sebastian (Ryan Gosling) and wannabe actress Mia (Emma Stone) tap dance from atop the Griffith Observatory, “La La Land” has laid out its charm: It’s a love-hate
La La Land is Damien Chazelle's best movie; it's a vibrant love letter to the city of Los Angeles and the dreams it represents. The story revolves around the passionate romance of an aspiring actress, Mia, and a dedicated jazz musician, Sebastian, as they navigate the challenges and triumphs of pursuing their artistic ambitions.
In this case, I believe that the music betrays a basic premise of this film, a possibility that Betsy has just validated: the music emanating from my computer as she walks into the room, which evokes emotions remarkably similar to those that arise from hearing the soundtrack Justin Hurwitz composed for La La Land, comes from François Truffaut
What I found interesting, and somewhat modern, about this movie is that it eschews the virtuoso performances of classic musicals. Classic musicals usually feature people whose ability to sing and dance is superhuman. La La Land is low key. Nobody is going to blow your mind with their performance in this film.
“La La Land” focuses on Sebastian, a pianist with dreams of opening his own jazz club, and Mia, an aspiring actress waiting for her casting call and spot in a screenplay. With Emma Stone playing the role of Mia and Ryan Gosling playing Sebastian, I could not imagine a better cast. Their authentic performances bring the movie to life.
Cast: Emma Stone, Ryan Gosling, John Legend. Musical, Drama. 128 min. As a hardened advocate of modern thrillers and horror films, upbeat Hollywood musicals à la Singin’ in the Rain often feel like a tough sell to me. The core issue stems from the oddity of actors randomly bursting into song – how could any sensible moviegoer buy into that?
