La La Land (2016)

20170107:
I don't keep up with the latest movie releases, but Ada heard about La La Land and wanted to go watch it. Since I didn't even look up any trailers or reviews, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a musical.

La La Land was an amazing movie.

Trailers: A Dog's Purpose (2017), The Zookeeper's Wife (2017), Patriots Day (2016), Gifted (2017), 20th Century Women (2016), The Shack (2017)

This film was leaving Netflix and I remembered enjoying it. While I had given my mom a copy and can probably borrow it, I opted for the convience of seeing it on Netflix before it leaves. Of course, I'm sure it would return in the future. It's such a great movie for it not to be.

On 20240115, Netflix determined the movie for me as a 95% match. I decided to give the movie two thumbs up.
Instant Comments:
1: "No Jamal, you be trippin'."; 2: Hahaha.
2: WTF. "One woman shows are always terrible." Why'd he come see the show?
1: Ada cried when he told her to follow her dreams and go to Paris.
1: Unexpected ending.
2: This time I knew the ending and it made sense... Perhaps moreso that I'm older as well. On the one hand, in the dream sequence, they could have had a happy life together, but instead followed their dreams and that likewise has brought them happiness. I would say there are absolutely points in your life where following your dream makes sense, but sometimes dreams are just dreams. I guess the film is about showing the tension that is contained in the pursuit of one's dreams.
