Magical and Enchanting - Modern Day Musical

Rating: 10/10 (17 January 2017)

It's been a long time since I've felt so invested in a movie. I can go through romance films and like them, sure, but this one immerses you and makes you feel.. almost like you are part of it, feeling all the emotions. I really can't pinpoint what it is exactly, but this movie tinkered with my feelings hardcore. There's something magical about this movie. I can also attest to say that I don't usually like musicals, but I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and like all the songs.
Admist the theatrical and creative style that carries this film, this movie is real. What I mean to say is that it resonates even though it may do things that escape the realm of reality. I think that's why I love it so much. You can relate to all the little feelings and actions these characters do.
I think they did a good job of setting the tone for this movie by introducing the characters and what they're passionate about. This makes us understand them, and root for them. It's the driving force for the entire film. We care about this movie because they're so passionate about something, and it shows them pursue it despite the odds. It's truly a beautiful, admirable, and difficult thing to do.
I think at the end of this film you learn some lessons that are open to interpretation, but no matter what it is, you do take away something from it. I've seen it twice in theaters already and plan on buying it when it comes out on DVD!
