Finally it took a while but it's finally in theaters so I go to see it. I saw the teaser when it first premiered online and when Ryan Gosling finished singing City of Stars I knew I had see it. Along with the fact that my wife Emma Stone is in it. LOL! No but I ugh I knew it had to be special. Mia, an aspiring actress, serves lattes to movie stars in between auditions and Sebastian, a jazz musician, scrapes by playing cocktail party gigs in dingy bars, but as success mounts they are faced with decisions that begin to fray the fragile fabric of their love affair, and the dreams they worked so hard to maintain in each other threaten to rip them apart. I am not a big fan of musicals but to name a few from the past I do enjoy they're Grease, Les Miserables and Into The Woods. But this is the best Musical I have ever seen. It even feels like an old Hollywood original film. Mia (Emma Stone) who is an aspiring actress works at a coffee shop right next to a building where they filmed Casablanca and has posters in her room. Sebastian( Ryan Gosling) is a pianist who loves Jazz and has a passion for it. You can tell just n the first 15-20 minutes by lines of dialogue. You could totally get into there characters because of there passions. The cutaways for the film reminded of like a serial or old TV show or movie even the way it ends. The reason I'm not a big fan of musicals because when the movie finishes I usually don't sing any of the songs or they just don't hit me. But I couldn't stop singing City of Stars or the fools who dream when I left the theater. La La Land is the best film I have seen in the genre of romance- Musical has beautiful editing and singing. Great songs that you will be singing long after you see it and has lovely performances from two great actors who have proved to have chemistry. I'm giving La La Land a five out of five, this is destined to be a classic nay it is a classic.
