There is a line in the movie "Magic Moonlight": "What has magic is always love". The joys and sorrows on the screen have indeed added a lot of insights to us in reality. 
Just this week, there is also a classic romance film full of magic that will be re-released.
It was once the "perfect love bible" in the hearts of countless audiences, and it was also a beautiful love letter to musicals, jazz, and Los Angeles, the "City of Angels". 
Even if 7 years have passed, it is still a near-perfect romance film in the hearts of countless audiences, and it has squeezed into the 227th place in the Douban movie TOP250.
It is the most popular work of domestic fans that will be re-screened on the special line of the Art Federation from today and directed by Damien ChazelleLa La Land
According to incomplete statistics, after being released around the world since 2016, "La La Land" has won more than 127 awards. first broke the history of the Golden Globe Awards, seven mentions, seven hits, and even the opening of the awards ceremony was a tribute to the film;Then he swept the British Academy Film Awards, winning five awards including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actress;
In the end, he received a total of 14 nominations at the Oscars, which is comparable to many classic films such as "Comet Beauty" and "Titanic". 
Although "La La Land" lost to "Moonlight Boy" in the final Best Picture attribution, "La La Land" is successful enough by the standards of a love song and dance film. 
As director Damien Chazelle's second feature film after "The Crackling Drummer", the script of "La La Land" actually began to take shape as early as 2010. But when Damien came to Hollywood with confidence to sell the script, he was met with cold eyes and ridicule. 
At that time, film companies generally believed that in such an era, no one would love to watch such a "boring" song and dance romance. He had no choice but to save the country and wrote a script with a smaller cost and easier to hit the emotions of the audience, which led to the later "Burst Drummer". 
Finally, after the fire of "Burst Drummer", the director's longing "La La Land" was finally put on the big screen.
If you look at it from the current perspective, the story of the film is a bit "old-fashioned". 
The heroine, Mia (Emma Stone), is from a small city and dreams of becoming a great actress and playwright. But in Los Angeles, where actors are everywhere and beautiful women gather, Mia looks ordinary, her acting skills are mediocre, and her future is far away. 
The actor Sebastian (played by Ryan Gosling) is a ** person who dreams of opening his own jazz bar. In order to survive, he had to work part-time as a piano in a restaurant. Everyone advised him that Jazz was in decline and that he should give up his unrealistic fantasies.
One is an unambitious young actor, and the other is an empty and talented ** person, and the two met like this. They also pursued their dreams, met each other in the city, and fell in love while singing and dancing. But the game between dreams and reality also made the relationship between the two face choices and tests, and after a series of setbacks, they had no choice but to separate their dreams and regrets.
Although the story is ordinary, "La La Land" reflects the ultimate appearance of regrets, tributes and dreams under the surface story. Through the four seasons of "winter, spring, summer and autumn", the film shows the texture of those universal emotions that shine with the passage of time.
Let's talk about regretful love first.
Just like the classic romance films "Casablanca" and "The Umbrella of Cherbourg", Mia's love affair with Sebastian did not come to an end. But "La La Land" presents this regret in a more romantic way.
At the end of the film, the director uses the fantasy montage of "If Mia and Sebastian were always together" to tell endless beauty and regret. Although we have already achieved fame, there is no other person in that dream.
"La La Land" uses this kind of love to tell the audience: regret, reluctance, and nostalgia are all part of life, and it is precisely because there are so many uncertainties that love is so obsessive.
Let's talk about the ubiquitous fan tribute. "La La Land" is a film carefully designed by the director for lovers of musical and dance films, from the costumes, songs to choreography, it pays tribute to the musical and dance films of the Hollywood ** era. For example, the opening scene is 3 minutes long, which can not only be called a textbook for scene scheduling, but also pays tribute to many classic works such as "Liu Meihuajiao" and "Eight and a Half Parts".
Another example is the classic starry sky walk and dancing scene in "La La Land", which pays tribute to "Broadway 1940" and Disney's animated classic "Cinderella";
The male protagonist Sebastian's red jacket is the same style as James Dean in "Rebellion Without a Cause", and the scene where the female protagonist Mia uses curtains as costumes pays tribute to the 1961 classic song and dance film "West Side Story".
It can be said that from the popular "Singin' in the Rain" and "Moulin Rouge" to the unpopular "Unruly Night" and "Follow Me", the song and dance scenes paid tribute to in "La La Land" are almost the entire history of the development of Hollywood song and dance films. That classic scene emerged, which aroused a strong resonance among the fan group.
Finally, let's talk about dreams. Without a doubt, dreams are the biggest theme of La La Land.
La La Land is not so much a must-see love myth for adults as it is a booster for all dreamers. The film's male protagonist, Sebastian, is a conservative music fan who is obsessed with niche jazz and has a sneer at today's pop music.
The lead singer played by singer John Legend in the film broke the ground: "You said you want to save Jazz, if no one listens, how can you save it?"Because of people like you, Jazz is dying, and you hold on to the past, but Jazz is talking about the future. ”
This is the director speaking his heart through the mouth of the character. "La La Land" uses two dreamers and scenes of singing and dancing to tell the audience that some movies should not be forgotten. It can be "briefly resurrected" in the form of romances, because change is what made them so popular.
So even if the whole world ridicules "musicals are an outdated art", even if there is only one small director named Damien Chazelle in the whole of Hollywood, he still insists on it. But as long as the dream in the heart is not extinguished, the song and dance film has the potential to sparkle and bring tears to people's eyes.
The meaning of La La Land is not how long the emotion lasts, but the moment when they illuminate each other. Romance and dreams are fading, the movie doesn't allow it, it wants to finish this dance with you again, and become an eternal memory in each other's star tracks. This winter, let's go into the theater and witness the classics again.
I sincerely hope that those lost dreams will be remembered, and every emotion will be confirmed, just like the one conveyed in the movie: "Respect those who dream, even if they are a little stupid, respect those who are hurting, and honor the chaos we create." 100 Families Help Program
