Better than expected

Rating: 9/10 (22 April 2017)

La La Land is a movie full of life, love, music, dance, cheerfulness, and a lot of other twisted emotions.
First, it's different, it presents a simple love story, a woman and a man met by chance, and decided to love each other. Nothing complicated about it. And that's what I found enjoyable about it. That it just doesn't have that much of twists and trouble.
Then, there's the filming, which was the thing that really hooks you up from the beginning. It's just the aura of these old musical films about it. The music and The dances, it's just so colorful and cheerful and charges you with positive energy, and makes you smile while watching
And, there's the story, Some people say that the story isn't something new, two young people, trying to build a career in different fields, search for a way to realize their dreams and have a relationship along the way. But it's not about the story, it's about how it's put into the film. Sebastian's dream of having a Jazz Club and Mia's dream of being an actress, how each one supports the other into reaching, and how in the end they had to choose between their dreams and their love. How their choice to support each other in the first place, was the reason of them breaking up. How as it is shown at the end of the movie, they could have made hundreds of different choices to have the life they wanted. and how in the end they still loved each other but went on with their life despite it. The movie is just so packed with emotions, it's cheerful, amusing and simple.
And I would really recommend it for everyone who doesn't have any objections against musicals.
