[@chunkonghui8741]

This ending works so well because it displays what true love really means! Putting another's happiness before your own. The film is all about following your dreams and in the end their character realised that they loved each other enough to let one another go if it meant they could achieve those dreams.

[@MrFrancisco1987]

Never heard of the concept of long distance relationships. It does not work indefinitely, but the longing can also be positive.

[@bw-xv2rz]

It blows my mind that it's a story about love and the cost of dreams but the charlatans view it as Hollywood sucking its own d*ck

[@Kurt77777]

I guess I must have totally missed it. I thought that it was Mia's selfish dreams that were more important than true love. True love is when you put your longtime companion's happiness over your own. Selfish love is when you put your dreams ahead of the one you love, like Mia did in La La Land.

[@shattermirror]

There's just something so raw about this performance in the voice, the expressions, the way it's shot in a single cut, the way all her surroundings seem to fade out - I find it soul hauntingly captivating. This one scene kicked the whole movie from a 'pretty good, might watch it again' movie to an all-time favourite for me.

[@cuppiecupsters]

Yeah apparently this was shot live and in one take. Just shows how flawless she is

[@ericlind6581]

quite similar to when Anne Hathaway sang I Dreamed a Dream in the movie version of Les Misérables. Close camera angle, scaled down rendition, made it very touching.

her first appearance was Superbad. and she pretty much stole the show for me. Jonah hill is funny and he was one of the antihero protagonists but i liked Emma more because she wasn't an anti hero, she was just honestly a good person. you could kinda see how she just.... idk is honestly present. similar to michael cera actually.

Yes, City of Stars is a beautiful song, but in my opinion this song was the one that deserved the Oscar. Is so powerful, and it's more impressive when you know this was recorded completely live and Emma's acting was improvised.

[@mr.manhattan8972]

I really felt conected to mia all the movie.

[@Kurt77777]

I connected with and identified with Sebastian. You're a guy and you connected with/identified with/sympathized with the girl? Or did you mean you were attracted to her? Did you like the way that she flipped off Sebastian at the beginning when he and the other drivers were stuck in that traffic jam for who knows how long and she was more absorbed in her career goals than the people around her? Or how about Sebastian wanting to be at her play but couldn't because he joined the band that he didn't want to be a part of because she wanted that for him but then was angry at him because he wasn't at her play? Or how about Sebastian being on the road flying to L.A. between gigs to surprise Mia with that dinner and Mia getting into that stupid fight and leaving after all that Seb had done for her? Or when Sebastian drives all the way to a different state to find Mia to tell her about the audition and she didn't want to go and also wondered about how he found her as she never told him where she lived (but he figured it out because he listened to her)? Or the song "City of Stars" where Sebastian wonders and worries whether this new love will work out or whether it will be yet another dream that doesn't come true? I guess we find the answer to that at the end when Sebastian is alone and Mia dumped him for some other dude when she could have either A) chosen Sebastian over her career or B) could have had Sebastian AND her career. Before the poison of feminism, she would have chosen Sebastian over her career, but because Sebastian loved her, she would have had both. Sadly, too many people identify and sympathize with Mia in this film when she was a woman who put career first. Screw everyone else. I totally get this song, though, and being an artist and a dreamer who lives life to its fullest with a passion and energy that few have and yet whose dreams never come true along with relationship heartache, etc. But in this case, the mess that is made is kind of Mia's fault as she chooses feminism and the sick, selfish, and lonely world that feminism brings to those who embrace it. Kind of a sad and lonely existence in Manhattan for a liberal these past few decades. Selfishness at its finest.

[@niamholoughlin4174]

@@Kurt77777 we never got to see what the play actually was. She, as a writer, had a vision of what she wanted it to be and that is completely okay. Plus, it's her first play, she may not be that confident to drag in other people who she cares if it could ultimately fail. You never know, they couldve turned her down if she offered. Theres so many things we don't see, so we are expected to fill in the blanks. You may see it that way and I see it my way. I find a problem when you impose your opinions on another person and say that they are selfish for not accepting your view of the film. For someone calling another person selfish, your quite close minded

[@Kurt77777]

@@niamholoughlin4174 Did you mean, "YOU'RE quite CLOSED minded"? I don't force my opinions on anyone and I never once said that someone was selfish for not accepting my view of the film. Where did I say that? And when someone does call another person selfish, how does that make them closed minded? Maybe they really are selfish and the person calling them out is only speaking the truth. I never understood people who read what someone else wrote and then twist around what they said into something completely different. Is it intentional and deliberate or is it just low intelligence and low comprehension skills? It isn't my opinion that Mia was selfish, she just was. My whole point was that feminism is toxic and a very selfish movement. You see the result in the film, Mia and Sebastian end up not together. It's pretty obvious and clear but yet so few see it. I agree that Mia can indeed write whatever play she wants to write, and it is her vision and that doesn't make her selfish for not including her friends in the play. I'm looking at a pattern of selfishness. As to your point that her roommates could have turned her down if she had offered them parts, I live in Los Angeles and I can guarantee you that any wannabe movie star NEVER turns down any offers to be in a movie or play unless they are already involved in a bigger project. Only those who have already "made it" turn down roles/offers.

The reason why Emma Stone won the Oscar for best actress, this shows her pure untamed talent - Leaving her as one of the best actresses of the 21st century alongside the likes of Saoirse Ronan, Meryl Streep and Claire Foy

I would add Natalie Portman and Kate Winslet

[@kathleenheck7910]

She was somehow able to put the entire synopsis of the movie into one three minute song, and put so much feeling into it that it broke our hearts watching it, like we were watching something private that we shouldn't be seeing. She deserved that Oscar and anyone who says differently hasn't really watched this scene and what she put into it. She has grown into such an phenomenal actress and has come so far since the likes of Superbad and Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. Props to her! 👏👏

Yah try as I might this is something where I just can't seem to join the backlash - To me, "La La Land" is a lovely film and surely a highlight of 2016's movie crop. Its deserving of a lot of its accolades including, in my opinion, Stone for best actress. Its not the most transformative performance in recent memory, but it is an absolute star turn that emphasizes everything Stone brings to the screen, and even goes past that in some regards. Ryan Gosling is also pretty strong here in the kind of charismatic romantic lead he's perfectly cast for.

[@HanksJazz]

Imagine a moment where you’re on the cusp of something big-where you’re vulnerable, all walls down. It’s that rare, stripped-back moment, like Emma Stone’s character in La La Land during Mia's audition. She’s there in this dimly lit room, in front of an unimpressed panel, and decides to lay it all out with 'The Fools Who Dream.' It’s not just a performance-it’s a confession. She’s putting her whole heart out there, as if saying, 'Here’s all of me-take it or leave it.' It’s a moment when the world falls away, and you connect with something bigger-where you feel seen and heard for who you really are. That’s the magic of these scenes, these songs; they remind us why we chase what seems impossible, why we risk everything for that one chance to tell our story. So when you hear this, don’t just listen-feel it. Because in that room, in that moment, we’re all fools who dare to dream-a great scene and a great tune!
