Nice!

Rating: 8/10 (16 October 2019)

La La Land is really really good and I wish I saw it sooner. I think I might go on YouTube and rewatch some of the songs. (And a never do that.) I honestly don't know what to say, it's just a good movie.
This film succeeds on avery technicol level. The cinematography, set design, makeup, costume design, editing, and CGI is all great. The CGI isn't there that much but when it is it's pretty good in terms of the film it's set in. This segways into my next positive thing: The fakeness. I know what your thinking but the fakeness is a good thing in this movie. This movie is a commentary and tribute to Jazz and Hollywood. The two leads both have big dreams one wants to be an actor the other wants to own a jazz club. They both retreat from their normal lives with these artforms (plus they both live in LA) this also applies when they are dating each other. Also when I say 'the fakeness" I mean the; CGI, random spotlights, random dancing and montages. It has a sense of Hollywood in its golden age, which I can't really explain. This is called good directing. When you watch it it feels like your watching a beautifully filmed play because of this. The writing is also very good, you get the sense that these people have been together for a while and really know each other.
I got more out of this movie than I thought I would and I enjoyed it very much. This is the best film of 2016 and I highly recommend it. Stay tuned for more reviews coming soon, including but not limited to; Joker, Bee Movie and The Scream Trilogy.
