Oneof the best story on earth!

Is THIS a kissing movie?

Video is amazing. I love the editing and your take on the movie, which is my favourite movie I've seen

I made a report on this amazing movie in my freshman year of college. I focused on how the women are portrayed in the movie, as infantile and yet catalysts to propel the plot forward. I watched again recently and it’s even more profound and interesting. In Mark’s perspective, the 2 women that he views as competent shapes his view of how he sees himself, Erica and the lady at the end of the movie both uttering a similar quote. It is very profound and I wish there was a video focusing on how the women are portrayed in the movie.

I just discovered Ryan Gosling with "Barbie" and I have seen all of his movies and they are very different, especially the earlier one. I am really fond of "Lars and the Real Girl", but he is really good even in the ones where the script and movie isn't. I do like La La Land and most of his movies.

yes, the song "Ironic" doesn't actually include one example of irony, now THAT's ironic

This movie still hits me harder than any movie I've ever seen. When seb is explaining to Mia why jazz is so great, is literally me explaining why this movie is so great

World class Sceenwriting, World class direction, world class composing and world class editing meet to make world class filmmaking.

Yes it is perfect.

was lucky enough to see this film with a full orchestra conducted by justin hurwitz himself. life changing experience. i will never forget how i felt being there.

Great video!

FINALLY someone who sums it up so perfectly and says everything I didn't have the words for! This is a MASTERPIECE in my eyes. I am writing a paper about this movie and your video helped me so much. THANK YOU!!!🙏🏼

seeing my personal favorite film whiplash in your top three was cool

this is fire

Absolutely perfect

So pretty

Whens this absolute banger coming out on apple music

Well... that was... interesting..?

Heart dropped at the noti

I love la la land so much I can't even explain it. the fact that they both believe in each others dream more than their own and how they will always love and support each other even if they're not together. its the definition of bittersweet.

Thanks for opening the box so I could understand what is.

Short, simple, gets the job done. I liked this review! I myself didn't really think much of the 'irony' part, but you're right. It's very well-done, in multiple ways.

thank you!

I get filled with pure beauty in my body and in my soul and I only needs to here those five tones of the melody to be back and filled again. That’s Lala Land to me and it’s my all time favorite movie♥️💙♥️Pure beauty!!

wow !!! just wow !!! what an amazing breakdown !!! just loved it thoroughly

1 season was 'enough'; we're OVERDUE for a 'reunion'

This is fuckin art my boy. Art

Amazing 😮🎉

Banger

The goat!!!

There are those rare movies that you watch and finish for the first time, and they end up occupying your mind for days and weeks after. La La Land did that to me. One of my favorite all time movies ever.

wow. i had never thought about all this. i love this video almost more than la la land

me watching this while weeping

Transformers was better moive

I wonder how many of us went from Inception as a favorite to La La Land? 😂 well I went from 89’ Batman to Hook to Inception to La La Land.

With the exception of the sensation of spinning at the very end (which will take a few hours to recover from), this was an exquisitely perfect synopsis. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

I think La La Land had a good ending and I’m tired of pretending it didn’t

Perhaps I missed a bit but I believe at the end Mia is an Actor when her dream was really to be writer also? She gets the perfect role where it is written around her but it seems to imply at the end that she is a successful actress and that she would be performing as an actress does

I don't even know what my favourite movie was before this. I love it so much its just so undeniably real. The juxtaposition in the movie was insane, the piano scene where he decides to play jazz music is what hooked me, as the camera pans from right to left and our view is obscured and is he actually going to play? And then the spotlight on him just in the zone. The themes of dreams and life in capitalism are well played out, how we "grow up" and abandon our dreams. Even Mia towards the end was obviously being subsumed by Capital. The breakup was iconic, she should have not ket the conversation go so long since he was an asshole but those emotions were obviously keeping her there. The absolute romance of the dinner straight to the point that they have no chemistry etc., was scathing and I knew she was going to walk. Its very real and how people would genuinely act. I generally dont like redemptions unless they are truly deserved and I would like if they played down the love aspect towards the end, and Sebastian got Mia to follow her dream moreso as a friend. I think it leaned too hard into the starcrossed lovers trope, since sebastian wasnt fully redeemed at that point in my mind. But i still love this trope and it was done well. I liked the chance meetings and the only part of the movie i didnt particularly think was as good as the rest was the ending although I love the tropes in it.

"Their last dance has no color because neither chose to chase their dreams". I disagree. The problem is they both *chose* to chase their dreams... rather than love.

Best marvel movie yet imo. It felt more humanizing than any other Avengers films. I love the other three, but this sure hits harder.

this is such an excellently presented video essay, I've never seen anything quite like this :D The narration, montage, editing and music is on point. Keep going

I watched this movie 15-18 times (I lost count). I can’t figure out why I’m so obsessed. Maybe it’s simply because I’m a nerd. 🤭🤓 Oh and by the way, you did a magnificent job with your editing, explanation and the tone of your voice is satisfying. Thank you. 🙏🏾

Fantastic video essay! I agree with you that there’s something undefinable about this film that lingers with me. It hits me in so many different ways each time

I love this movie as well but a small thing that always bothers me is in the “someone in the crowd” musical scene, when the camera pans up to the Palm tree while Mia and her friends are going to there car, it bothers me that the palm tree I not lit up like a Christmas tree. Would’ve been so easy to do and would’ve looked amazing.

The Social Network is 13 years old, It has remained my personal favorite movie of all time till Christopher Nolan gave it a run for its money with Oppenheimer.

I know full well I'm in the minority here and it's okay if anyone disagrees with me but I literally got nothing out of The Social Network. I felt absolutely nothing for any of the characters; Zuck's two qualities are that he's smart and an *sshole( not "morally grey" just a jerk). Garfield's character feels like he exists solely for us to feel sorry for him. The only thing I knew about the film going into it was that it was about Facebook and that one of the characters gets betrayed. Andrew's first line is "Hey Zuck I heard you broke up with Erica(*puts palm on his chest ), I'm here for you" I was like oh wow I wonder who he's going to betray. I don't feel like I have anything in common with either of the lead characters because they both come off as caricatures. I'm sorry but "following a character around" doesn't make me automatically feel more connected to them. Garfield is devoted to Mark for no reason other than he's a nice guy who never does anything wrong. This isn't meant to be a criticism of either actor but they have ZERO chemistry. Almost every conversation is just them arguing or disagreeing with each other. I never felt like there was a genuine relationship between any of the characters. The theme is meant to be betrayal but I saw it coming a mile away and nothing is done to develop their relationship in order to make the betrayal carry any actual weight. Zuck and whats-his-name NEVER felt like friends to me. I wish they would have had inside jokes, shared moments of growth or carried on conversations like Vincent and Jules do in Pulp Fiction. Because of this I felt absolutely NOTHING when he betrayed him. I never felt like Zuck was "seeking" approval from anyone, otherwise he would have different approaches aside from being a jack*ss. He would have at least tried to be nice to someone, and I guess he kind of was at the end, but I don't believe that it would have taken him that long. Everything feels shallow, melodramatic and pretentious, like it cared more about showing off than telling an actual story. Everyone praises the dialogue but I hated it; it felt contrived and nothing had the natural flow of an actual conversation. It's like Sorkin cared more about his character's having some kind of Zinger than using it as a vehicle to deepen the story being told. My favorite example of this was when Timberlake's character asked something to the effect of: "you ever walk into a guy's den and see a picture of him standing next to 14 trout?" "No, you show the 3000 pound Marlow." "YUP." I HATE dialogue like this because literally no one talks like that; no one responds to an analogy they've never heard before with something so specific. I like it when dialogue carries subtext(by this I mean it tells you something about the characters indirectly) which happens a couple times throughout the film but not many because everyone is too busy throwing around one liners. Also the character who says it is just some dumb bimbo AG's character is seeing who lacks any depth. On the surface everything is technically brilliant; the cinematography and performances are all fantastic, but that is the definition of Oscar bait. Also I LOVE Fincher; Mindhunter is one of my absolute favorite shows, but this I think is his weakest project that I've seen.

I remember first watching this movie a long time ago and not really connecting to it too much. Then I came across your video and watch half way through and was like “hey, this guy might be in to something” So I watched the movie again, and again, and again. The second time I watched was cause I was searching for what you were trying to say, and then the other watches was because I started to fall in love with the movie. I came back to your video and now I can understand and appreciate such a beautiful film. This film will always be in my heart and be one of my top favorites. Thank you for opening my eyes to deeper meaning and appreciation for masterpieces.

This movie made me think of the synergy between scenes, soundtrack and color grading. This movie would easily float today the way its been shot and produced. Timeless piece.
