This movie is so magical. Even after 2 weeks of seeing it, I can't stop thinking about it or listening to the soundtrack. Chazelle and Hurwitz are amazing. And Ryan and Emma's chemistry is lovely.
I have seen Hacksaw Ridge and I absolutely love it, but I think La La Land should get Best Picture, it's an amazing experience (coming from someone who isn't actually really fond of musicals). I also think Damien Chazelle should get the Best Director award, his work on the film was almost perfect.
Despite all the widespread critical acclaim Damien has received for this masterpiece, he still manages to seem incredibly humble and modest. So articulate, so soft-spoken and so endearing. Amazing. Love you man
Charles Heiston yeah, the thing is the Academy sometimes wanted to 'share' the award. Since LOTR I guess Oscar didn't have big winner anymore. So yeah I guess we'll see
Ishan Rosha Oh really. You have really bad taste. Please explain how we are supposed to believe that she pulls over for dinner downtown and then just happens to walk right into a club which just so happens to be the club now owned by her former lover. Of all the thousands of places in Los Angeles, she and her husband just HAPPEN to waltz into this guy's club, without her ever suspecting a thing. The worst contrived bullshit coincidence in decades. Horrible film.
darren motise dude why do we need to see films if they're just as realistic as our everyday life? Even documentaries have a certain degree of modification away, no matter how slight it is, from the "reality".
fadedflage how is it not believable? Music & fantasy aside, the love story between Mia & Sebastian is entirely relatable on every level. It's a harsh slap in the face of reality. Love doesn't always work out.
Amen bro! I watched this in theatres three times and I was the only single dude in all three screenings, but I didn't care. It was that fucking good!!!
I am obsessed with this film. I've seen it three times at the cinema so far. I cannot find a single flaw here - they had better rake in loads of Oscars!
I saw it 3 times too! People think I'm crazy but it's really that good! I still want to see it again but I'll just wait for the blue ray to come out at this point.
Incredible film. Chazelle and Hurwitz have got to win the Oscar for this. Lovely and original, a nice nod of the head to old Hollywood. And as someone who loves films from the 50s (and jazz music!) I'm so glad this has started to make a comeback
Lord of the Rings, The Dark Knight, The Hurt Locker, Slumdog Millionaire, Mad Max are some of the movies that also came out this century. Just think about your comment now...
Did you know, if Damien Chazelle (32 years, 38 days at this year Oscar) win. He will be the youngest winner for best director? If he win, he will beat Norman Taurog (32 years, 260 days at the time he win) 84 years, 3 months records. And if Barry Jenkins win he will be the first African American winner. What a historic night it would be
Praisdelo Talumingan I hope Damien wins, this film felt like quite the passion project, the amount of effort behind can truly be seen throughout the whole film, so many variables executed with the finest detail, what a great director.
La la land will definitely win Best Picture this year! It is well-deserved to have 14 Oscars nominations. It is one of the greatest movies I've ever seen & it's truly a masterpiece.
Honestly after watching this interview it seems Hollywood film making is so exciting and amazing experience !!! Hope La La Land wins big in the Oscars !!!
Loved this interview! I learned a lot and specially you realize how little details really make the difference in a movie. LA LA LAND has become my favorite movie, everything is perfect! I love the music, the story, the actors,the crew; literally everything
Yeah, you're right, but the funny thing is that all of them seemed to look at Ryan lol. And honestly I didn't get exactly the meaning of the question (english is not my first language), so your argument makes sense.
I left the theater dancing too! Grabbed my top hat pop corn box, tap danced down the steps, grabbed an old guys hand...we twirled...he dipped me...we parted ways to the bathrooms! A glorious movie going experience. Thank you to everyone involved. Brilliant🎉
Having seen Moonlight, Mancestor by the Sea, Arrival, Hell or High Water and Hacksaw Ridge... La La Land is still my favorite of the group. I really hope this wins best picture.
I love this movie. Highly charming, entertaining with an emotionally engaging story and lead characters. Excellent in a great many respect. A love letter to Hollywood, to Los Angeles, to classic musicals.
Great discussion from the cast & brains behind this film. The idea of how to establish their "universe" is intriguing. In the film Enchanted (with Amy Adams, Patrick Dempsey) one of its delights is the idea of that universe. We are told all the characters sing in the animated world, so when Giselle crosses over, she loses this ability when she gets closer to the human Robert in our world. The film even makes fun of that idea, it was very well done. It all helps to get the ideas across to the audience - thank you LaLaLand :)
An idiot whose first film received critical acclaim and won few Oscars and second film which received the highest number of Oscar nominations. Yeah, he's an idiot, for sure
Vi o filme hoje e adorei! Sonhar e perseguir sonhos faz parte da vida. Chorei, ri e fiquei feliz mas triste por um amor que ficou distante...parabéns e obrigada por recriarem algo que nos fala da parte boa da vida.
it was filmed like the old musicals were in cinemascope and in one take most of the numbers and scenes, like the number at the top of them dancing, was shot in magic hour so it's all real not weird editing there, they shot 5 times in 45 minutes during two nights at the same hour and the second one of the second night was the one they used...they are lots of interviews where they go detail with all this stuff...
This is the Academy Theater in Beverly Hills -- one of the best venues in the world for film, and they are in front of a group of their peers, nominated for best picture of 2016. To put an analogy to it: If you were a Catholic, that's like going before the Pope at the Vatican to be considered for sainthood. It's a charged room and most people in their are excited.
JSN True, I was expecting it to be entertaining like old Hollywood but it's no where close. I had to watch some Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly after, to feel better.
You all talking about the "Old Hollywood" but just remember... Jazz is about the future. Cinema is evolving as we all should do too. It's imposible to get the old hollywood, so our only choice it's to praise the past by seeing this kind of films, were the past has our time's beautiful characteristics. La La Land it's a gorgeous film.
