La La Land
Aug. 23rd, 2019 09:26 pmJust finished watching La La Land, which stars Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone. Loved that they fell in love with each other, loved that she fell in love with jazz. Was not prepared for the ending--or happy with it, really--but I guess that's part of what's driven the interest in it as a movie.
The final scene features a "movie within the movie," consisting of a highly-condensed, alternative script which runs until the final notes of the melody which had been the lovers' musical theme until their parting, some years earlier, to follow their own dreams.
As their eyes met for a last time, across the audience in the jazz club which had been his dream, and which she and her husband had entered unknowingly, I felt a sudden urge to open doors and windows, a sense of panic, almost, to get outside into the open air.
Which might indicate that I need to stick with the more pedestrian and predictable rom-coms, which had been my evening fare of late...
