"Not many people can pull off a bright yellow like that" As she is fabulously wearing a bright yellow outfit!!! Love the Irony
LOL aww thank you!! (Although to be annoying, my dress is more mustard yellow instead of Emma Stone's bright yellow dress hehe)
My same thought!
I was gonna say the same
Gosling's character was right, jazz music is different every night because they are improvising a good amount of the song, at the very least during solos. The other musicians will often play the chords and rhythm of a part of the song while one solos, and they pass around the solo basically in no predetermined way but in a way that still makes sense musically
Ahh that's so cool. Improvising anything is hard, but having to do it as a group and make sense musically?? That sounds so difficult
Of course it also depends on what kind of jazz you mean. Jazz has gone through a lot of different forms.
In any case, whichever kind of jazz you're talking about, no matter what Gosling's character said or rather whined, jazz is not dying.
Some clarifications on jazz, for anyone curious.
Most of the time there is a rehearsed part, called the head, which is the main melody/intro to the whole thing. After that, the rest of the band start improvising music on the spot based on what the melody was. It's very much freestyle and flowing.
Great reaction btw!
Ooh that's really cool! No wonder he was so intense about it LOL
@@SophiaPhannn yeah but even though he was right he was still also kind of pretentious about it. Or maybe just arrogant. Though when he said that jazz was dying he just came off as whiny. My dads a jazz enthusiast and a jazz musician, I've been listening to various forms of jazz my whole life. And I didn't like this character.
Btw ryan gosling did all the piano work himself. And he didn't even play piano before this movie
Bro WHAT. That's actually insane
Yea he did? He has a band where he plays the piano. He's a piano player. He couldn't read music. But he's a great piano player before this movie.
@@BIGBIRD208 he only played a little by ear, but he was by no means a professional. I could probably do the same with a handful of instruments, but i wouldn't say i *play* them, and i definitely wouldn't be able to play whole jazz pieces on them
@@jonathanfoster4202 I know he trained for the film, but the “little by ear” comment is the first thing that comes up on a Google search. Just watch him with Dead Mans Bones. It’s more than by ear.
What Ryan did is very impressive but if someone put in the hours per day, pretty much anyone can do it...I prefer to play chords myself and the way I'm able to remember how to play some songs is by visualisation and shapes the chords make. It's not easy but with any instrument repetition and practice is the key :)
That epilogue of "what could have been" fully made me sob - kudos to Sophia for actually keeping it together.
The beauty is in its simplicity. The movie had a simple story but the overall cinematography was absolutely beautiful along with the chemistry between the two leads. The lighting was stellar. The soundtrack was catchy. The editing was top notch. The ending was perfect. The audience got to see them together even if they didn’t end up together. Perfectly bittersweet. I don’t see it as boring whatsoever and enjoyed how toned down it was compared to other musicians. It’s far and above my favorite movie and I’m not even a musical fan.
I was living in Boise, Idaho when I saw this movie. When they were sitting together at the table and Ryan Gosling casually suggest that she come to Boise with him on tour, the theater audience erupted in laughter and started screaming, "yes, come to Boise!"
Omg that's so cute!!
To boise🥂
@@SophiaPhannn you should react to stranger thing from netflix
Dude same. I was so excited to hear Boise be mentioned by big names like that in a movie 😂
This film is by far one of my favorites of all time. The cinematography, spectacular. The color direction is like it’s own evolving character (beginning: bright, vibrant colors to symbolize their hopeful futures ahead of them. as well as their love for one another. middle: darker more neutral tones to rep. their maturity. ending: a combo of both bright and darker colors to show how they’ve morphed and blended together to end up there.). God I love it
Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling always have this tension between them in every movie they were in together, and I loved it! I was honestly surprised when they didn't actually get together in real life, and just stayed as best friends, which is totally fine. I simply love their connection, and hope they are in a film together in the future.
Now back to the movie.
Skipping the jazz part because so many people already explained it, and with me once being in band and have a sister in a jazz ensemble, what they are saying is true.
Now for the ending:
I actually really love the ending. I'm glad it went the separate ways in a love story. Not a lot of romance movies would do that unless the characters have a nasty falling out which explains why they split up. If two characters were decent with each other, the movie would have done the typical characters wait for each other and getting back together ending.
But no, they actually split them up, live separate lives, and the two are friendly with each other. Bittersweet to some, but that's life, and I wish more romance movies have an ending like this where where the main characters don't get together whether they had a falling out or just grew apart.
I love your earrings I like that the inside of the lemon is clear✨🍋
Didn’t notice that lol
Seb's enthusiasm for jazz = my enthusiasm for this movie 😂😂
OMG I didn't even notice the continuity error at the beginning of the movie and I've watched La La Land an embarrassing number of times.
It isn't if you look at it as his memory of the day vs hers. 🤗
@@etherealtb6021 Ooh thank you very much for that.
Never seen the movie, and just seeing these parts, even i was tearing up at the end D;
You gotta watch it bro!! So good!
I have to agree with you on the simplicity of the plot itself but at the same time, I was kinda surprised that they ended it in such a way that the two characters didn't end up together but it's still sort of a 'happy ending.' They got what they both wanted even though they were no longer together because they weren't happy where they were. It's more realistic for their characters. I think in real life, two people need to be supporting each other and give way for the other in order for things to work out. Because she still wanted to fulfill her dreams, she can't because she needs to support him and he can't do the same for her.
I felt the same way about it. It wasn't exactly the type of musical I was looking for but overall it was a well done film. Now if you really want to scratch that musical itch, if you find a way to watch Galavant, you should. This goes for everyone, it's criminally underrated.
Oooh I've heard about Galavant. Perhaps I should check it out
@@SophiaPhannn I think it's super funny! You just missed it being on netflix though :(
I gotta mention Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. It’s a musical tv show like Galavant but umm... survived past 2 seasons.
In my opinion, this is how musicals should be done, not a song every 5 minutes, just sprinkled in there to help the plot move forward
I like to compare this movie to “signing in the rain”. That film doesn’t rely on its musical numbers and its plot could still work relatively well without them. The epilogue here can be traced directly to the scene in Gene Kelly’s head in “SITR”. City of Stars is the equivalent of Gene Kelly signing Signin in the Rain.
It’s is a great movie that doesn’t rely on its numbers to drive the plot. That what makes a film great and not just a musical. That what makes this film better than THE PROM. I enjoy The Prom, but this film is so much better
It’s Singin not Signing
@@randywhite3947 Does it really matter tho
if your musical can work without the numbers, then it kind of sounds like it's a shit musical. The musis and songs SHOULD be the parts that push the story along. Not just random things for fun.
Which is nice because they are able to use the numbers to enhance the experience, not to carry the film. While in many musicals, the songs are the most important seller, they are able to pull through with a simple story but amazing cinematography, lighting, an amazingly intricate wardrobe and color scheme, and video choreo
La La Land is what life is REALLY like when you find the right person at the WRONG time in your life. It hurts but it’s a real part of life and there’s no way to romanticize more than this. I just hope that people find their “happily ever afters” without the terrible parts. Life finds a way to make you experience the ugly regardless, so no matter what it’ll always be an equal experience. Thank you for this reaction. When I watched this with my GF at the time, I kinda knew it was foreshadowing and it was. I miss her. But life is that way. No need to feel bad for me, it is what it is and life is a marathon, not a sprint. Thank you for your reaction! It gave me some fuel to believe in that magical love and all that!❤
I relate to your experience with this movie. I had a similar one. Good luck to you having your "happily ever after"!
When they thought of how their lives could’ve gone. 😭 TEARS !!!
Cadillac Records is a good movie if you haven’t seen it already!
omg my favourite movie of all time. i really never saw the movie from that perspective since it feels tailor-made for me but i do get what u mean, it really all does come down to personal preference. umm if you'll excuse me I'm gonna go rewatch the movie lmao.
I feel the same. So it looks like we've stumbled on a view that's tailor-made for two 😊
No, but seriously...this movie really spoke to me as a dreamer. Everything felt so relatable and also inspirational.
LOOOOL when Mia stands in front of the theatre monitor your reaction was perfect 😂😂 literally like everybody watching that movie must be PISSED!
I love that part in the Epilogue where the choir starts singing and they dance surrounded by the lights.
The epilogue is so amazing! Have you seen "Whiplash"? Is another movie directed by Damien Chazelle.
Oh, and a second question: have you seen "Sweeney Todd"? The adaptation made by Tim Burton
Never seen Whiplash, but I lovvveeee Sweeney Todd!
@@SophiaPhannn Riiiight? I love it too. "Johanna (Reprise)" might be my favourite song.
Have no interest in musicals or la la land but the second I saw that it was Sophia uploading I was like "yep this is all me" .she's introduced me to a few movies I'd never thought of watching
She even got the yellow dress on😂😭🤟🏾
Lol I saw this in theaters and bawled my eyes out. Then I told my friends how much I loved it and how hard I cried. Took a group of 10 comp sci nerds to the theater. When the lights came up, every single one of them had tears running down their faces. It felt like really well-rounded characters just being actually realistic. I personally enjoyed this more than what you seemed to think; I'm one of the people that would 100% hype up this movie. It's still good to hear that, even if it's not your favorite, you appreciate the film for a lot of the same reasons I do.
I loved this movie so much....and for me I was fine with the movie till the final scene but that final scene/dream sequence came out of nowhere and it hit me so hard....also that scene of Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling nodding at each other and acknowledging each other hit so close to home because I do have so many people in my life who I was so close but we then drifted apart but at the same time we all helped each other when we were there for each other and this movie made me miss them....
It's refreshing to watch a reactor who feels free to be a critic. It seems like other reactors stick with the positive to not offend fans of the movie, which I totally get. But I'm in complete agreement that this movie overall didn't feel like a musical. At times it did, but plot sections would get long and I'd forget, and suddenly there was singing and dancing out of nowhere. This is why I much prefer The Greatest Showman (same composers), which felt much more like a consistent musical.
tbh i think the hype is more about the visuals and the amazing music idk. love the movie but i agree with u the plot is a little simple.
As a former student stage technician with a focus in lighting I feel validated
First time I cried in a theater
My mom and I were sobbing. But that wasn't our first time! 🤣
Maybe you wouldn't have found it so boring if you hadn't heard the soundtrack before and you didn't know the ending? I also think you would've enjoyed it more if it wasn't so hyped. I watched it without knowing anything about it and without knowing how much praise and hype it had received (yes, I've been living under a rock)
I also found it boring when I watched it, and I hadn't heard the soundtrack and I did not know what it was about. Only knew of the hype.
You should try watching Blue Valentine. It stars Ryan Gosling too.
Good movie, really sad though
Okay hear me out...Flipped. It’s wholesome, heartwarming, happy and meaningful. It’s just so sweet! Such a beautiful ya romance with lots of GREAT character development.
Yes, they said they were inspired by that Sleeping beauty scene
And most of that argument scene is just their adlibs .
Yooo finally someone agrees! I think the lighting and cinematography are phenomenal, and the songs are great, but the plot is just not it. The best part is that ending sequence, it's so beautiful!
I think the point is that the plot is simple and relatable, but it all feels very grand with the cinematography. They use a back and forth motion between the two main characters with their current life directions to lead to the eventual split between them. Although it is simple, they are able to pull it off so well. They make a relatively normal story that a lot of people can relate to. I think that as viewers, we expect so much to happen since often times we expect the relationships between the main characters of a movie to be insanely monumental, but in reality, a lot of people in this exact dynamic break up and never come back together, but to us they don’t fall hand in hand because we obviously lack the what could’ve been montage, the music, the chemistry and banter etc
A lot of people who are big musical fans didn’t exactly like la la land because of its focus on the cinematography, but I really think that’s what makes it a modern masterpiece. It’s impactful in short scenes, they’re attentive to small details, the characters are passionate but we see that they are affected so heavily by each other and choose to compromise. In a way, mia and Sebastian were similar to jazz composition, as when Sebastian was chasing his melody and passion, mia was compromising, which later switches. When compared to say broadway musicals, I get that the plot is not as grand. But keep in mind la la land is still considered a musical FILM.
It's a musical...you kind of don't have to take it that seriously •́ ‿ ,•̀
Musical and theatre people do tho
Not true. Musicals can often center around very serious topics (i.e. Fiddler on the Roof, The Color Purple, Hairspray, etc. Just to name a few really big ones.) It really depends on the plot and this movie had a trash plot and subpar dance numbers. People liked the songs and how pretty it is.
This film really shows us a new current version of "New-York New-York"
YESSS! LALALAND is my favorite musical, hope you like it
have you seen the Princess Bride? if you haven't, you should DEF do a reaction!
this movie and soundtrack is one of my biggest guilty pleasures,, i lowkey love this movie 😶😶
How is this a guiltily pleasure it’s considered to be one of the best films of the 2010s?
emma is so pretty and i love her voice
Great video! La La Land has become one of my favorites of all time and though I could defend some of the criticisms you’ve given it that seems pointless 🤷♂️ Glad you enjoyed it! Was really fun watching your reactions.
That detail of Mia's hands at the beginning of the movie never observed that much even though I watched the movie so many times😮😮😮 and that sync part they have very little time to shoot at the exact time of the sunset that's why maybe🙂🙂🙂
8:49 So now that you've watched the movie you get Twice's reference!!!😃🥰 So happy that you noticed and mentioned, the only K-pop group that I'm an actual fan by the way lol, and my first show ever will be theirs on Feb 6th, 2024😁🥹🥳
girl i have been BINGING your videos and how have you managed to watch...every single one of my favorite movies? your taste is *chefs kiss*
Same. I watched this movie in theaters reluctantly with friends because I thought it was just another corny romance movie starring 2 very beautiful actors like so many others. But I was dead wrong by the end of that movie. I watched Damien Chazelle's previous masterpiece Whiplash at home, andI bought tickets again 2 days later. Still one of the few movies I watched twice on theaters.
I actually avoided this film when it came out because what came to mind was that ryan gosling and emma stone are the leads so even if the movie sucks, people are gonna love it anyways. I waited years to finally watch it and my favorite part of the film is when they split up and reunite years later. If they had given us a cliche story where they end up together, i would've hated it, but they both achieved their dreams which is exactly what their story was about. I was pretty pleased with it. Not one of my favorite ones but it's cute.
13:29 Hun when you dance with someone you are head over heels for it does feel like that. The whole world disappears.
Idk I still think Twice did that dancing at dusk scene better 🧡💞
Anybody else remember how this won Best Picture?
Okay I'm going to watch this after school I watched all of you avatar reactions and loved it the reactions were amazing (your my favorite reactor)
Typically with jazz, there’s a main melody that everyone eventually comes back to, and solos and improvisations are constantly tossed back and forth between the players
I LOVED that Another Day of Sun song!
I appreciate your perspective. For me, I liked this much better than the musicals you refer to for the exact opposite reason you like them. I always hated when 2 people would be having a conversation and all of a sudden they break out into song. It's what I didn't like about musicals. So I understand why you didn't like this movie as well as the musicals you are used to and love. Also, you never get true enjoyment when people build it up so much you get disappointed.
What II did really enjoy was your reactions while watching this movie as you try to figure out what was going to break them apart. We of course knew what would happen, so it was interesting to hear your thoughts as you watched. You did a nice job analyzing the agrument they had, but I was hoping to see your reaction as it happened. I was so sad and stunned like she was sitting there! What he said to her really upset me .. "Maybe you liked me when I was on my ass 'cause it made you feel better about yourself". It was so cruel and didn't match what their relationship had been like. But as I think about it now, it was very realistic because that's what people do in an argument - they say something they would really regret saying just to get the upper hand. You did comment you thought it was over the top. Thank you for this video - extremely interesting and thought-provoking.
I think the problem with them as a couple was that she expects too much from people and is fixed in her ideas not allowing room to change or vary and that he takes his troubles out on other people and has a tendency to come off as sulky.
In any case Chicken on a Stick is a terrible name for a jazz club and so are his reasons for wanting to call a club that. I know it's a reference to Charlie Parker but if so then at least call it 'Bird' or 'Yardbird' since those were his actual nicknames.
The beauty, in this outfit, is giving me throwbacks to the wardrobe department of this film.
Speaking of you skipping out on the film when it first came out, it's understandable. I wonder if Moonlight (Best Picture Oscars 2017) will be on your 'What to Watch' list later?
Thank you! The wardrobe in the film was beautiful, I agree. I also thought my dress matched it well
Hmmm I've wanted to watch it, but I'm unsure if it's a movie I would post on my channel. Perhaps I'll think about it!
This film is a partial homage to the tragic beautiful operatic French musical “The Umbrellas of Cherbourg” which is described as either the happiest sad movie or the saddest happy movie. It’s a love letter to knowing that you loved & lost & loved again… but you still have that… feeling of wondering what could have been.
The saddest part of the ending is… in her mind, if they stayed together, he didn’t get his dream.
just found you by luck, and tbh its been 3hrs and I have been non stop watching your videos. Your amazing :D
One of my favorite movie in my whole life, its so pure magical and i will never forget how its magic do things to me in the big screen. 💛💛💛
And specially that i never knew i will love Jazz so much and changes my taste in music.
Her: “Man, I wonder if anyone’s gonna come to her show.”
Me: “Oh, honey, just you wait…”
It’s funny to me that you noticed the continuity error of Emma’s hands being in different positions, but not the fact that in the flash back she doesn’t actually flip him off. It’s her index finger instead of her middle finger for some odd reason
this is easily one of my fav movie ever
fun fact! the song at 3:27 was done in one continuous shot! I think a few of the songs were
The freeway scene was the 110 over the105. What’s funny is something similar happened once on the 105 when there was a huge deadly car crash and ambulances couldn’t get to the cars dueto the traffic and people trying to off-road to go around but getting stuck. I was stuck with the car turned off for 5 hours and people were playing music and dancing between the cars with strangers. It happened about 4 or 5 years before La La Land so I wouldn’t be surprised if someone involved with the film was also stuck with me at the same time.
Gosling did have lots of dance training as a kid (google some of the videos, so cute). Emma had done some musicals, but no heavy dancing.
BTW, this movie has MANY homages to MGM musicals and the numbers being intergrated into the plot are very much a part of those musicals. That lighting is very Vincent Minnelli.
If you wait 4 years, you'll always be underwhelmed by movies people raved about! 😜
as a fellow musical lover, I enjoyed this movie a lot. it's no West Side Story (my favorite), but it gets a 'thumbs up' from me. as someone who had their heart broken by their first love, the ending of this movie broke me. I could not think straight for weeks... I've been happily married for 17 years, but every once in a while I do wonder what my life would've been like with my first love...
I know what they were doing with the 'what could've been' segment, but in it till could've had a plot twist. Even the 50s MGM musicals it referenced had a plot twist where something went wrong only to be resolved again later. That's what a story is. They weren't just stories where one good thing happened after another.
"And the winner is...." 🤦♂️
I loved this reaction so much, it made me think about so many things. At the same time i'm like, of course it's gonna be boring if you alredy heard all the songs and alredy know what's gonna happen, not a minor detail but the main plot and intrigue of the whole film. I imagine myself watching Chicago for the first time in thoes circumstances and it sounds awful, there's no way you can have a journey and experience if you alredy have 80% of it stolen, movies are just meant to be seen for the first time as new production, it has quiet scenes for you to process the music, plot changes etc, cuz it's gonna be all new. Otherwise you only have the visuals left.
it's the matching earrings and fit for me
I love her hair ir looks so good
Oh, this is the outfit from your newest insta post >.< So cuuute
I dare you to react to "Call Me By Your Name"
Someone in the Crowd is the best for me.
Did you notice she always wears something blue for casual outfits?
10:41 In a jazz band every member tends to get a solo and solos are improv most of the time, but the rest of the song is rehearsed. So yes and no, but jazz solos can also be several minutes long, sooo, I guess yeah sure there is probably a lot of new material every other gig
Your earrings are a cute touch. 😊
Mia and Sebastian’s Theme lives in my soul rent free
Those lemon earrings! 🔥🔥🔥
Can you please do green house academy. I love that show so much and i have watch it 3 times and because you did avatar the last air bender which is my favorite show so i hope you do green house academy please please please i have also been watching you since toy story 4 and i love your videos please do green house acedemy
yk i was here since she was reacting to advatar :) and we stand ur clear skin
this made me and my mum SOB when we first watched it... and the second and third time too
this movie is hella good bro
Every time i see a new vid from you it makes me so happy ;-;
La la land as in Los Angeles but also as in the imaginary world they escape to together.
is this how you usually watch movies 😂. some quite OBJECTIVE takes for a somewhat fantasy movie 🤣
Anyone else in the Korra reaction waiting room with me?
She said shes not doing korra reactions
I am a patient man.
i still don't get why they broke up in the first place if you loved someone that bad why would you let them go ???
Sometimes love isn't enough. It takes more than love but there needs to be a compatibility in both parties decision to fully commit to the relationship. Both are so ambitious and they both need to fulfill their goals but if one partner is not fulfilled in their lives, one can't truly be supportive. They've decided they just weren't right for each other although they're in love.
If you have to sacrifice what you really truly want out of life for another person, you're going to end up resenting them for that and the relationship will either fall apart completely or be deeply unfulfilling. Especially if one partner gets to continue what they wanted in life while the other has to give it up as a sacrifice because both of their life plans go in vastly different directions.
Wow I haven't watched this movie since it came out and I remember I had just broken up with a Sebastian and was cringing through the whole movie when I heard the name. Another fun time, I had broken up with a Simon soon before Bridgerton was released and was cringing through every episode as well. I have to start picking boyfriends with more unusual names haha
1:50 these are the I-105 and I-110 fastrak lanes.
Omg It was my first time watching this movie I love it
10:44 What Goslling's character is saying about Jazz or at least that style of jazz is very true. My dads a jazz enthusiast and I love jazz as well. But none of that made me like Gosling's character.
you look like you belong with one of the performers in Another Day Of Sun hahaha so beautiful
The scene where the audition gets rudely interrupted happened to Ryan Gosling. And the actress who asks for a refund is played by the director, Damien Chazelle's wife.
And tbh, Sebastian is such an aggressive pretentious elitist douche I feel like Mia dodged a bullet by not ending up marrying him.
Chicago is a great musical
7th time rewatching the film. Never noticed the continuity error with Mia in the beginning
Emma Stone is so freakingly brilliant ( as usual ) in this movie !! And she won an Oscar for her amazing performance !
I love her , and her voice is so sexy .
I'm on a binge right now of your videos! Your personality is so awesome and you are so hilarious. SUB4LYFE
The writers of the soundtrack took 7 years writing it!!!
