It's so gooooooooddd for real.
It's been a while since I watched it actually but I just want to share it here in my blog. Cause the goodnees (?) I got from the movie is lasting longer than I predicted. The movie left a special impression in meeeee. It's one of the musical film that i loveeee <3
You can see the poster above. Just by looking at the poster making me feel somewhat dreamy. I dont know why though it's just happened that way. And the title also takes part, I mean doesnt it make you feel dreamy when you read the title? Like it's La La Land. The alliteration tho.
The movie itself tells a story about a woman, Mia, an aspiring actress. She wants to be an actress and works part time as a barista in coffee shop located inside the gate in one of the major Hollywood studio. She occasionally met Sebastian, who just like her, is in search of a way to make the dreams come true. Sebastian is an struggling jazz pianist. He wants to open a jazz cafe. They eventually get close and build a relationship together. They support each other dreams. However things gone wrong and they work hard to make it right.
Seriously please watch it. The movie is so underrated it deserve more recognition. Ryan Gosling and Emma Stones duo is just kewl. They dance and sing in the movie and i dont know how to describe it so please watch. They never disappoint me. It's highly recommended:))))
The moral values are wrapped neatly along with the story line. I dare say that it is the exact portrait of real life. Frankly, i got reality check the moment i finished watching this movie. It portrays what most of common and ordinary people experiencing in real life. We struggle to survive in this life to make our dreams come true. Life is like a roller coaster, and it's super true.
The movie shows that in order to reach your dream, you have to work extra hard. Blood, sweat, and tears are not enough. And holding on to your dream is even harder. You might have fantasies that you will successfully achieve your dreams, yes it will happen of course, but only if you holding on to it and believe in yourself while push yourself till the limit. This movie shows us what kind of way will we face in achieving our dreams. "It's gonna be a long, complicated way, but it's definitely worth it" I feel like if the movie were a person, that's what it will say.
Also, it's not always happy ending in real life. Sadly, the ending of the movie is not a happy ending for Mia and Sebastian's relationship, but they indeed get to achieve their dreams. Sacrifices is a sure thing when you want get your dreams. In this case, Mia and Seb sacrifice their relationship. It's sad for me as I cheer for their relationship to lead to a happy life but it turned out differently:((((
You will have to choose many things and sacrifice anything along the way. Many people will come and go through your life. But those who stay with you are priceless. Be grateful for having them.
All in all, this movie makes me got a reality check. I know all along that life is not always beautiful. That it's gonna be a difficult way to get through but it's good to know that if you believe in your dreams, believe in your self, keep working hard, and never give up, everything that you've ever dream of will come true is good. It's good to know that I am not the only one having hard times. We all are. It's good to know that I'm not alone in this journey because everyone is struggling as well.
This is a song Mia sings in her audition that make her actress. Seriously the lyrics is really awesome, it soothes my soul and touches my heart every time I listen to it. It energizes me, it makes me believe in my dream all over again. and I'm not kidding.
The Fools Who Dream (Lyrics)
My aunt used to live in Paris
I remember, she used to come home and tell us these stories about being abroad
And I remember she told us that she jumped into the river once, barefoot
She smiled
Leapt, without looking
And tumbled into the Seine
The water was freezing
She spent a month sneezing
But said she would do it again
Here's to the ones who dream
Foolish as they may seem
Here's to the hearts that ache
Here's to the mess we make
She captured a feeling
Sky with no ceiling
The sunset inside a frame
She lived in her liquor
And died with a flicker
I'll always remember the flame
Here's to the ones who dream
Foolish as they may seem
Here's to the hearts that ache
Here's to the mess we make
She told me
"A bit of madness is key
To give us new colors to see
Who knows where it will lead us?
And that's why they need us"
