If we meet again, how can I congratulate you? In silence? With tears?

If you have been like me, crying like a fool after watching a movie. Then you will understand that the colors on the screen will become colorful.

The last time I watched a movie and cried into a idiot, it was "Once" nine years ago. It was also late at night, and under the effect of dilated eye drops, I listened to the whole movie. Outside the window is unclear rain, I can't sleep because of someone, and she doesn't know.

And nine years later, there was this "La La Land" again. I cried into a idiot in the singing, but said to myself: Hey, how have you been all these years?

The story is a very clichéd one. The unwilling jazz pianist and the actress who can't accept the show are in a city full of opportunities. Until 10 minutes before the end of the film, I still thought it was just a clichéd inspirational story. However, when the familiar piano sounded and the montage began, Commander Gao walked past Sister Shishi. This time, he did not miss her, but hugged Sister Shishi, hugged and kissed. At that moment, all the emotions could no longer be stretched, and there was a click in my heart, tears gushing out.

Crying is not because of sadness, even if this is a story of not being able to be together. I cry just because I understand.

If you were once bruised and bruised because of your dreams, and did not hesitate; if you were once intoxicated by love, but now you are separated from each other; can you still remember each other's appearance? Have you realized your dream now?

This is a sweet and sad movie. It responded to Byron's timeless poem with the magical pen of the last 10 minutes:

If we meet again
How can I congratulate you?
With silence, with tears.

With tears?

No, with a smile--

    Dancing is worse than falling in love.

    Three major selling points: dreams are all about luck, love doesn't work hard, and music is shit.
