      Still a jazz movie instead of a traditional musical

      The director is a die-hard jazz fan, and there's no doubting this claim. This new film continues the style and advantages of "The Burst Drummer", and uses the element of jazz as the power core of the plot, which not only renders a romantic atmosphere for the love at first sight of the male and female protagonists, but also lays a fuse for the subsequent conflict of ideas between the two. Magically pushes the plot forward.

      Friends who like jazz will definitely enjoy their ears. Several...

      Regret is the inevitable loss of life

      Years later, Mia has a successful career and a happy family. When she saw Sebastian, who had his own club, who was giving a speech, she heard a familiar tune. What did they think at that moment?

      When Mia and Sebastian met, they were both in their own moments of self-discovery and self-worth. After they each experienced the setbacks in the early days of their lives, they saw in each other's eyes the frustrated but persevering self. In this relationship, there is joy, quarrel,...

      Anywhere is so bad

      After brushing "La La Land" twice, I said two things, dreams and love. If the director really didn't have any sarcasm in it, then it would feel almost meaningless.
      1. The fools who dream
              just say this paragraph, the song is good and the lyrics are good, it penetrates into your heart and makes you rekindle the dream buried deep in your heart. But sing it from the mouth of Miss Mia, who is "bitch", feels very insincere. Those who refute, please first sort out the difference...

      How to advance your dreams

      Beginning in about 2016, movies will be selected through the circle of friends. There are usually differences. For example, friends who write will talk about "Roadside Picnic", is that also called poetry? ! Full of contempt, the explicit lines and subtexts are better written by yourself. Again, this isn't a movie. Some people like it too.

      Can't say it's not affected. But you will still respect your own feelings. For example, I feel good when I look at the curb. I don't use a...

      La la life

      In fact, I have never liked to watch musicals. For the kind of plot that starts singing and dancing as soon as there is a disagreement, as soon as the music sounds goosebumps, the soldiers line up, which is simply an embarrassment outbreak. But as a story revolving around music and acting dream chasers, the whole drama does not violate the harmony, just like . The pictures full of retro style and OST, and the plot perfectly match. While sitting in the theater, I thought, this is an OST...

      No five stars, I'm sorry for the current impulse, it is false and willing, and I will think about it later if I change the score. Opening low and walking high is getting better, from a slightly deliberate retro tribute to the free growth of one's own soul, and it is like a dream after realizing it. On the one hand, people continue to be superstitious about the charm of light and shadow, and on the other hand, it is the unparalleled dream above reality - when we reach our respective distances....

    Movie plot

    The story takes place in contemporary Los Angeles. The lonely young actor Mia's ambition is to be an actress and playwright. She is obsessed with old movie stars. She works as a barista on the set of Warner Bros. and often skips work to audition. If she does receive a play, even the small role will make her ecstatic. Sebastian is a jazz pianist who wears a silk tie, and has a close-hygienic pursuit of art. He wants to open a club, but...

    Evaluation action

    Although the story of the film is relatively old-fashioned, in the presentation of audiovisual language, Director Cha Zelei used a lot of installation art, using color blocks, geometric shapes and light and dark divisions to make clear stylistic characteristics. In the choice of songs, he is also unique and uses music to tell stories. (Movie review   )
    The film is not perfect, but it is speechless in terms of style display and...

    Movie quotes

    • Mia: Maybe I'm one of those people that has always wanted to do it, but it's like a pipe dream for me, you know? And then you... you said it, you-you changed your dreams, and then you grow up. Maybe I'm one of those people, and I'm not supposed to. And I can go back to school, and I can find something else I'm supposed to do. 'Cause I left to do that, and it's been six years, and I don't wanna do it anymore.

      Sebastian: Why?

      Mia: Why what?

      Sebastian: Why don't you want to do it anymore?

      Mia: 'Cause I think it hurts a little bit too much.

      Sebastian: You're a baby.

      Mia: I'm not a baby.

      Sebastian: You are.

      Mia: I'm trying to grow up.

      Sebastian: You're crying like a baby.

      Mia: Oh, my god.

      Sebastian: And you have an audition tomorrow at 5:30. I'll be out front at 8:00 a.m. You'll be out front or not, I don't know.

      Mia: How did you find me here?

      Sebastian: The house in front of the library.

    • Mia: It's over.

      Sebastian: What is?

      Mia: It's over.

      Sebastian: What?

      Mia: All of this. I'm done embarrassing myself. I'm done. I'm done. Nobody showed up.

      Sebastian: So what?

      Mia: [crying] I can't pay back the theater. This is so... I'm gonna go home for a while.

      Sebastian: I'm gonna... I'll come see you tomorrow.

      Mia: No, I'm going "home" home.

      Sebastian: This is home.

      Mia: No, it's not anymore.

    • Sebastian: I just feel that people, when they say that they, you know, hate jazz... they just... they don't have context, they don't know where it comes from. You know? Jazz was born in a little flophouse in New Orleans, and it just, because people were crammed in there, they spoke five different languages, they couldn't talk to each other. The only way they could communicate was with jazz.

      Mia: Yeah, but what about Kenny G?

      Sebastian: What?

      Mia: What about Kenny G? I mean, what about elevator music? You know, jazz music that I know?

      Sebastian: What about it?

      Mia: From my life?

      Sebastian: Mm-hmm?

      Mia: I just, I mean, I-I find it relaxing.

      Sebastian: It's not relaxing. It's not. It's not. Sidney Bechet shot somebody because they told him he played a wrong note. That's hardly relaxing.
