Simply brilliant.

I went to see La La Land yesterday (13/1/2017) and I am IN LOVE. I can't believe how long the UK has waited for this movie. One of my favourite scenes is where they dance together for the first time on the hill after the party, they get closer to kiss and the phone goes off. I love how it's got a golden days of Hollywood feel to everything but it's set in the modern day where phones exist and it's just a classic moment that would happen in old films that was subsequently and humorously ruined by a phone! What I loved about this movie was how it was like a dream unfolding in front of me.
I think we've been waiting a few years to see a musical as glorious as this. It's fresh, new and yet it's reminiscent. It invites you in and quite honestly, I would say this film applies to not just people wanting to be actresses or own a jazz club, but everyone who's going out there and dreaming and it's almost a moral of 'Keep on dreaming. Make your dreams a reality'. Yes it's a jazzed (haha pun) up view of the world and the real world isn't as rosy and sweet but it can if you believe in it.
Not even joking, even in the first song I was nearly crying tears of joy because of how happy, bright and amazing it was! I'm such a wimp! City of Stars made me tremble with goosebumps (and also proper tears). The end was made sadder by the audience silently whimpering as well. But I just love, love, LOVE every feeling and emotions you get from it. How it's so bright and beautiful and the cinematography had me. I'm an avid enthusiast of nicely shot camera angles, colours and gradients and there wasn't a camera shot I didn't like. Everything worked!
I wish and would quite happily talk about this movie for hours but I'm yet to find someone in my life who has watched it or love it as much as I do!﻿
