La la land

Rating: Null/10 (26 November 2017)

La la land" is 2016 American musical romantic comedy-drama film, written and directed by Damien Chazelle. It's Chazelle's most successful movie, what has won all seven of its Golden Globe nominations and has made Chazelle the youngest person to win both the Oscar for Best Director and the Golden Globe for Best Director. In starring roles are Ryan Gosling as a jazz pianist Sebastian and Emma Stone as an springing actress Mia. The location of the film is in Los Angeles, where the whole story unfolds. Mia is a barista, who dreams of becoming an actress, but uselessly. Sebastian is a struggling jazz pianist, earning money as a restaurant pianist, but his boss fired him. He dreams to open his authentic jazz-bar. They met in in a party, where Sebastian plays in a third-rate 1980s pop cover band. After the two walk to their cars where the following story starts. They started to meet and fell in love. Soon they will approach their goals. Mia directed her one-woman play and Sebastian became a member of a successful jazz fusion band. But they weren't happy-Mia's play wasn't successful and even Sebastian's band was at the top, he knew, he doesn't enjoy this music. After many arguments they grew apart and went on their lives separately, but five years later they both have achieved their goals-Mia is a famous actress and Sebastian owns his jazz-bar. Even if the movie seems at first like a light-hearted musical, it's actually thought-provoking and has a good moral. Because it's a big budget film, it has a great camera work and is aesthetically good to watch. The only weakness is that the movie is a bit predictable. Already at the beginning I knew, how the story is going to move. In general was this the best musical film, I've ever seen. Whith the twist of the story and a good moral, it was interesting and gripping to see it.
