An Inspiring Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (26 April 2020)

Yesterday marked the first time that I sat down and watched La La Land from start to finish without interruption. I had seen bits and pieces before, as my sister has worn out this blu-ray over the past three or so years, but this actually was my first watch. And I have got to say, why did I wait so long?
Beyond the absolutely gorgeous cinematography, the fantastic lead performances and the undeniably awesome musical numbers, what earns this movie a place among my very favorite is the message it delivers. It's a film that gets me excited about the future ; I am nineteen years old as of writing this, and I'm getting to a time in life where I have to choose what I'm gonna do with it. La La Land inspires me to go after my dreams, as corny as it may sound, and to create the life I really want for myself.
It really is a movie for the fools who dream, and a very good one at that.
