La La Land (2016) - Audition (The Fools Who Dream) Scene (10/11) | Movieclips 

🙌🏻

Ummm......I think life might be a little more complex than a Hallmark card!

@Gabriel Preda And that way lies MEDIOCRITY.

Amen!

It is very possible to live both a cautious & meaningful life

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

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

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.

The entire film was building to them being together. It was stupid to destroy the entire story...Damien.

@@Kurt77777 exactly. Sebastian worked hard to support her dream. She repaid by dumping him.

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

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.

It is one of my favorite scenes from any movie.

I like your summary. 👍👍

Spider-Man?

@@DreamyCityGirl that too. same as birdman, the help, crazy stupid love; she's been in a lot.

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.

please go and watch birdman! Feels like a bridge between both sides :)

Well this scene is the one that won her an oscar

Now if only Emma Stone could sing as well as she can act

@@ShowtuneSampler I bet she sings better than you

No.

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.

@@Kurt77777 omg what the hell is even that? stop with the text, nobody's gonna read this bs. people connected to her cause they've seen themselves in her, stop being an as*hole

Same

@@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

@@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.

Great moment, but regardless, Oscars aren't ever won on performance. They're campaigned or pandered for.

Claire Foy? Really? I've never heard anyone line her up with these others

Put Natalie Portman and Cate Blanchett instead of Claire and Saoirse 🙄

@April Basuroy Biswas brie Larson🤣

TheDCTVshow cate blanchett, Meryl Streep, Emma stone, Michelle williams are some of the best out there Claire foy also very underestimated she was outstanding in the crown, I like soarsie but I think every character she played were similars, she still needs to prove herself

I would add Natalie Portman and Kate Winslet

I see that M-R-S 😏

Great moment, but regardless, Oscars aren't ever won on performance. They're campaigned or pandered for.

Highly doubt that. You'll would've passed out from holding your breath that long, unless you had prior training which you have not.

Good grief, that wasn’t meant literally😅

Our name isn't the only thing that we have in common, this song is everything!

Scott C same here! now one of my absolute favorites that has so many memories and emotional attachments to me now.

..where he leads us... And that's why they need us!

Bevender Thiskellhoff so bring on the rebels the ripples from pebbles

The picture and points and plays Here's to the fools who dream Crazy as they may seem Here's to the hearts that break Here's to the mess We make I trace it all back To then Her and the snow and the Seine Smiling through it She said She'd do it again

She didn't though. Best picture went to Moonlight.

@@lul_9451 it’s a joke. When it was announced, they said *La La Land* won, using Emma Stones best actress win card. People like to joke that she was the first actress to win best picture because of it😂

Oh yeah! La La Land should've won best picture JUST because Emma was in it!

Great moment, but regardless, Oscars aren't ever won on performance. They're campaigned or pandered for.

Mitchell Murray I’m glad I’m not the only one. Well said.

There's barely any backlash tho lol

Its a good movie, but moonlight is better

I disagree. I thought City of Stars was the worst original song in the film. This song is pure magic from start to finish. Great performance before 2:23.

@@Kurt77777 The oscars think in a much broader sense i guess... City of stars with majors intertwined with minors.... a song of hope but mixed with melancholy and all that... But i would have LOVED for audition to win... Audition was the emotional climax of the movie... Emma Stone slays as always...

@@reginaphalange8879 The Audition song was certainly my favorite non-instrumental piece in the film. A relatively simple melody, albeit very nice, but the lyrics are so powerful and moving. I really don't care how the Academy votes. They didn't choose La La Land as best picture, and at the 2020 ceremony they totally snubbed the movie Rocketman.

Why couldn't u stand her?

@@therealdoge4760 Well for starters, it was to do with the fact she was jealous of Shailene sharing scenes with Andrew Garfield for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 as she was supposed to play Mary Jane, and then she got booted off the project. Watching her onscreen however is no different. She looks over and smirks at something that things that aren't funny, sometimes too sarcastic and mumbles to herself in one interview. That was my reason.

@@samkresil6011 This a completely wrong assessment of Emma Stone as nothing in your response is remotely true.

@@aksharpatel2803 In films like The Amazing Spider-Man 2, she seems to show that.

@@samkresil6011 No she does not at all.

No. We are the fools who refuse to sleep.

Tự dưng đâu thấy comment Việt hihi. Cái này tuyệt thật! ^^

Việt Nam numberone 😍

OMG I said the same thing when I heard this....Lol

Ryan can definantly sing, too

Some of the most creative people have difficulty fitting into society and that's what makes them special but can also make them depressed and seek solace elsewhere

​@@MathNotationsVids I actually begged my Art teacher not to hang an expressionistic charcoal drawing of fruit. "Please don't hang this? Everyone will see how crazy I am." Mr.N. "Every artist is a bit crazy." I smiled because he called me "an Artist" ❤
