La La Land is A True Definition of Cinema.

Rating: 10/10 (7 January 2017)

"This is a dream: it's conflict, it's compromise, and it's very very exciting. Here's to the ones who dream." La La Land is A True Definition of Cinema. Here's my thoughts about this magical movie:
I'm in love, like really in love with this movie, because LA LA LAND is a movie which has reinforced my belief in the power of dreams. The first five minutes is like a great appetizer before you get the better main course, ONE SHOT DUDE COME ON. Gosling performance is ridiculously good, but Stone has never been better like this before (the Audition scene, GOD). Chazelle's direction is a gift for cinema, he know how to treat a scene and end a movie (Whiplash, remember?), thank God he's not one hit wonder director. Justin Hurwitz needs to get more recognition, his work is a fine art and I think people will always talk about the music of LA LA LAND. The shots and coloring is a masterwork and a feast for your eyes, bow down to Linus Sandgren and Natasha Leonnet. The final 15 minutes and the epilogue scene is breathtaking. Yes I cried, my soul left my body during this sequence because hit me on so many levels, it's so beautiful and charming and emotional.
It's a love letter for people like me who adore everything about cinema, jazz, Hollywood, stunning visual, Los Angeles, musical, and dreamers. LA LA LAND made me nostalgic and yearn about something I've never experienced before, and I want it more than ever after watch this movie. Recommended to everyone who give up to pursue passion for the arts, because this movie celebrate the dreamers among us (except the pessimistic and cynical ones). Bittersweet brilliance, an instant classic, an homage to the classic era of Hollywood musical, and 2016 antidote for sure.
I can't remember the last time a movie made me feel this way, deepest thanks to all who created LA LA LAND, especially for Chazelle and Hurwitz for this ambitious project, I love you both.
I can talk about this movie all day long, seriously. Please do watch this one in theater, I will drag everyone I know to watch this blissful magical movie, I can't recommend it enough. Last thing to say, if you don't enjoy LA LA LAND, probably you don't deserve to be happy.
