I’m sorry I love this one. Being in the mood I was in, I really needed something to bring me up, and La La Land does that so well. It’s energetic nature and beautiful setting makes you want to live inside this film and never leave. Despite being not really original or being pretty cliché, not all films are looking to be that new thing. This isn’t supposed to change the game, it’s supposed to be a beautiful, if familiar, film about two people falling in love, and the consequences of what love can do to us. The music, visuals, and tone is brilliant, and I just couldn’t keep my eyes away. It’s a magical  film of love and tragedy, of music and dreams, of what we can do to achieve our desires, and the sacrifices we need to make. I love this film, and I don’t really care who knows it.
