    Great Actors!!

    I thought it was a great movie. The plot did start out a bit laborious but it got better throughout. I had the feeling that there wasn't really a storyline in the beginning. But i'm glad I sat it out to see the rest of the movie because it was worth it. Obviously Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone are so well played together, because they did two other movies together before this one. The music is obviously amazing, I just got new earbuds so it was even better haha. I really love how the characters kinda 'flow' with the music while their bodies move with the music, right on 'beat' every time. So even though the 'musical movie' genre is not my thing i still loved it.

    Loving you is like loving part of my life

    This movie is infinitely close to when we were young: arrogant, romantic, dreamy, longing for love, but lack of money. Then when we have tasted the hardships and pains of society and finally achieved something, is the person around you still the one you love the most? Only when you have thoroughly pained and loved, can you understand how difficult it is to be innocent love. Only when you let go can you support your dream and fulfill your pursuit. In the end, Mia's fantasy surprised all the audience. This is the fantasy of all sweet love, and it is the most exciting meaning of this movie. I dare say that if there is no final fantasy, or the hero and heroine are together again, this movie will eventually become a second-rate love song and dance drama. Only if you can't get it, can you fully understand the bitterness and sweetness of youth. After all, the most beautiful love is just a flash in the pan. I love you, but I can only wish you happiness. This is the supreme love. This love becomes a part of life and a belief. LA LA LAND, loving you is like loving part of my life.

    A true ode to the Golden Era of Hollywood

    The vibrant colors and use of musical scores to set the mood for scenes transported myself back in time. This movie feels not only like a beautifully nostalgic nod to Hollywood of yesteryear, but also that of a timeless love story. Gosling and Stone have a charm to their chemistry on screen during the musical and dance numbers. All these aspects lead to a raw portrayal of love that many experience in life, with still providing a sense of hope and wonder to the viewers. I was entranced from the opening scene until the final note played by Goslings piano. I absolutely recommend this film to any and everyone!

    • Trivia
      According to composer Justin Hurwitz, all the piano performances featured in the film were first recorded by pianist Randy Kerber during pre-production. Ryan Gosling then spent two hours a day, six days a week in piano lessons learning the music by heart. By the time filming had begun, Gosling was able to play all the piano sequences seen in the film without the use of a hand double or CGI.
    • Goofs
      The day Sebastian visits Mia at her coffee shop, Mia entered work wearing black pants with a yellow bag. When Mia leaves work, she is wearing a blue skirt with a red bag. When they show a long shot of Sebastian and Mia walking on the lot, she is seen to be wearing black pants. Then in the next shot, she is wearing the skirt again.
    • Quotes

      Mia: People love what other people are passionate about.

    • Crazy credits
      Just before the closing credits roll, a title card comes on screen saying "The End" Made In Hollywood U.S.A, very much like the movies produced during Hollywood's Golden Age.
