OH MY GOD YOU IN THE BEGINNING IS LITERALLY ME I CRY EVERY TIME I START EVEN LISTENING TO MUSIC FROM THE MOVIE IT AFFECTS ME SO MUCH. Like no movie has ever brought out such strong emotion out of me except la laland. it's been so long since i've seen the movie and i still think about it every day. and thinking about it makes me so emotional. listening to epilogue makes me so emotional throughout i just find myself crying and being so emotional i can't even comprehend it. the message about dreams speaks to me so much and the movie just sparked my emotions and dilemmas i think about besides the movie. and the artist life it somehow gives me so much hope but breaks my heart so much. the audition tape and city of stars became my faveorite songs whitin the first 3 times i listened to them and i can't help but feel so overwhelmed when i listen to them. i'm glad someone can relate to that. the movie just sparked so much emotion in me it's unreal. i could write and ramble about it for days i just have such strong connection with this movie and not many people can understand what im talking about. the struggles of being an artist almost always seem to be underestimated but i'm glad the movie shows it perfectly


I just saw la la land yesterday and I annoyed everyone at my school because  I was singing the soundtrack nonstop all day😂😭IT WAS SO GOOD


I love the lyrics to another day of sun but I absolutely love love the scene and song a lovely night it is such a beautiful song and a beautiful dance and just the scenery wow it's just incredible to me that scene


I've been waiting to see this video after I watched the movie!! AND I FREAKING LOVE THIS FILM!!


I definitely related to the struggles of being an artist because at school when. I was in y11, I was in a musical theatre group and school have told me multiple times to quit this because it'll never happen and my dreams are unrealistic. 3 years later I've been offered a contract for a year in a touring show production


i stopped watching this when it was originally uploaded because i wanted to go into the cinema as blind as i could be to what was to come. a few days after, my friend was asking me if i'd seen your cover of city of stars, which i had. shes not generally that into youtube but she had watched it as she'd fallen in love with the song. we organised to go and see it together as we were both desperate to see it. tonight was the only night we were both free, we went and bought some wine and revels and got to the cinema really early to get good seats. we watched the film while getting slightly tipsy (so perhaps i didn't quite appreciate every aspect but whatever), when it finished, we wiped our eyes and hugged each other. it was such a wonderful experience. as an art student, i truly loved how the film was shot. i feel the beginning scene doesn't quite fit the aesthetic of la la land but it somehow works. even if it doesn't effect you, la la land is a beautiful film which i'm sure i'll watch many times again. i probably wouldn't have been as interested if you didn't give it so much publicity, dodie. so thank you. i really needed a night as good as this was, both because of the film and the company.


I'm still trying to figure out why I cried so much. I don't usually cry at movies


She knows this feeling to well
She feels her heart (or lungs) began to swell
La la land look how she's crying
I think she loves you


Oh my God Dodie I went to see this movie with my friend for her 20th birthday and I was just. Absolutely bawling. Even at the non-sad parts. And I've been singing the soundtrack for weeks because it's juts so lovely and beautiful and the story is so perfect and it's so raw and real like you said and just oh my goodness I understand your love so well because this film literally changed my life like it's this perfect love story and you think everything will work out great and yeah they have some bumps in the road but it just calls into question that whole idea of "what's your dream?" and while Mia and Sebastian both technically achieve their dreams, they also lose each other which is just. UGH THEY WERE ALSO EACH OTHERS DREAMS BUT THEY HAD TO CHOOSE and while I hate that they don't end up together I also love it because that's REAL. In a film full of bright colors and cliches and sappy romance, the rose-colored glasses get taken off right at the end after that beautiful dance sequence and you realize that life isn't always like that but that doesn't make those experiences any less beautiful. What Mia and Sebastian had was the most pure and incredible love and while they had to sacrifice it to achieve their goals, it doesn't mean that everything has to be sad and oh GOD I just love it so much


omg, i've just seen it, it was such an amazing moovie, god! it was so perfect from The beginning til The very last second, i loooved it my heart was crazy, a movie never made me fedl that, i just looove this piece of art.


the ending of this video is exactly how i feel toward certain films


I've just seen the movie and I don't know, I think the main subject of this film is love our passion and follow to the end. No matter what it happen. And that makes me think that maybe life is not a la la land, perfect pink world, like the scene when Mia dreams the life she could have been living with Seb. Real world is full of dreams and you decide what dream choose and live for it.  Is a beautiful movie romantic and realistic, and obviously I love all the songs ❤. I would like to read your point of view. Thank you.


'Compose myself'... dear, it is the most perfect description at my reaction just after it ended. Thanks, @doddlevloggle


So when you posted this video i was going to watch it without watching the movie, but then right before you started talking about it i was like... eh i'll see the movie first. And so today i finally watched the movie and yes i left the cinema in tears. And when i came home i was like I GOTTA WATCH THE VIDEO!!! and when you started talking about how every time you listen to the fools who dream you start crying i yelled ME TOO because that song is so beautiful and wonderful and it just made me feel happy because i can relate being an artist and i just started bawling my eyes out, and then after the movie i started crying again because i just kept thinking about that song. I love the movie so much and i say thanks to you for introducing the movie and making me fall in love with la la land.


I rarely cry at books or to or film (with the exception of 12 years a slave) but as soon as La la land finished I just started sobbing. Me and my friend were the last to leave the cinema, even after the cleaner!
On the surface it is a musical in homage to old Hollywood style movies but la la land is just so rich in so many ways. The story is so real - both Mia and Seb have their own dreams and they supported and encouraged each other to achieve them, which is what made their relationship so great. But then in order to pursue them fully, at the time it didn't work being together. I think I connected with it on a personal level too after having to cut ties with someone who has been really important to me (e.g. When they sit on the bench on the hill and Mia asks "where are we?" And Sen relies "maybe we should just keep going, see what happens" - I have literally experienced that) and because I'd love to act professionally but the lifestyle of unpredictability and having to be lucky really worries me.
The cinematography of the colours and swooping camera shots were also so clever. I felt like the whole story and the characters were so cared for in the way it was told. There was something really human about it.
Also you can observe that Emma and Ryan aren't trained dancers from a young age through their physicality when they dance, however it made their characters so much more human; they didn't just suddenly burst into 'hey I'm an amazing dancer' and the characters were sustained. They were amazing dancers, especially as they lessens tap for the film! And Ryan gosling played some incredible piano skills!
The whole ending sequence where it shows what could have been and goes through all Mia's experiences with Sev was so moving and all the different ways it did this ( the silhouettes, the colours) were stunning.
The one thing I wasn't sure about was because it's set in modern day, surely Seb would have been able to message Mia that he couldn't make her performance instead of her not knowing till the show when she bows and sees who's in the audience? Perhaps because he was abroad he couldn't but I don't know. Also the bit in the museum where they start to fly was lovely but it almost didn't seem necessary or add anything to the atmosphere already created.
Finally, the music is beautiful. I love jazz and the themes and motifs that repeat (like in seb's club when he plays their theme on the piano) was breathtaking.
At the start I wasn't sure about the opening number because it just seemed quite cheesy and I didn't really get what the song was about. But looking back and discussing it, it kind of represented the LA expectations of dreams being so easy to achieve there, but the rest of the story shows the reality and difficulty of it, and that it takes so much determination and passion and love to reach your dreams.
I love it so much and I could continue talking about it for ages too! 😊


I went to see it yesterday I loved it it made me so happy


omg yesss same feelings!! i cried so much and it was not even a sad scene when i started


when i saw the trailer i didnt really like it. but when i saw how exited and emotional u were abb this movie i had to go and watch it. AND OMFG AM I GLAD I DID! ITS HONESTLY SUCH AN AMAZING MOVIE! ITS SO REAL AND SO DJSODHDBDK. And since im in movie school everyone always tells me to watch these old movies because they have this feel to them that newer movies dont have BUT LET ME TEL YOU! THIS MOVIE HAS IT AL! It gives you the feels of an old movie but in a more modern way (idek if im still making sence) but yeah! i just love it so much! thank you for being to exited about this movie and making me exited abb watching it! I LOVE THIS MOVIE SOOOO MUCH!


it's beautiful and meaningful and fascinating but it only made me more anxious about my future career... Even tho it ends happily , it still makes me think that artistic personality is a curse idk


AND IM IN LOVE HOW HE KEPT THE NAME SEBS WITH THE LITTLE MUSIC NOTE AS THE APOSTROPHE IT WAS SO AGH


is anybody else in love with her singing in the beginning of the video?


Omg the soundtrack does the exact same thing to me lmao cried my eyes out


O my gosh la la land was so beautiful i agree with everyone!!!


LOVE THE MOVIE LA LA LAND!!!! SO SO GOOD!!! ❤


I love that movie so much and I just can't stop talking about it or listening to the music or watching ads but now my family and friends won't even try and talk to me because I always end up talking about la la Land and they can't bear listening to me anymore and it makes me so sad


I am not an artist, but I still related to this movie so much. I've been a student in "classe prepa" (which is something specific to France: it's a 2 to 3 year cursus where you basically have no life, and you only study, all the time, in order to enter National Schools, such as Vet School), and it was probably the toughest times of my life. I felt like giving up so many times, but in order to achieve my dreams, I had to continue working, despite the tiredness and everything. The scene where Mia is telling Seb she's basically dropping her dream of being an actress resonated so much with me. I cried 4 times during the movie, and I am still not over it. Such a great piece of art !


I FINALLY went to see this and now I totally understand your obsession!!


Smile, laugh, cry, swoon, it is the best movie I have ever seen.


I finally got off my ass and watched this. It wasn't what I wanted but it was pretty. I'm weak for neon lighting in film.


I've seen it testerday... I was just speechless😭❤


i loved the music and all the dance, but this movie broke my heart


I can finally watch this since i watched La La Land today!

IN OTHER GREAT NEWS:.... Dodie faved my tweet! YAY 🙃


some thing like that happened to me I loved this movie so much n listened to the music and thought about it for quite a few days after watching this movie


One thing I loved about it (although I only saw it the once so I'm not 100% sure) was that they coded the colour of the lighting? That like, red lighting was being live, it was being artistically and emotionally stuck, under pressure from other people (in a relationship/an audience) and that scaring the hell out of you, whereas white lighting was all about artistic and emotional clarity, being in that flow state where everything becomes irrelevant except for the raw art or the raw feeling. You are exactly where you need to be right then and external pressures from other people don't reach you. It also (for me) hinted that emotional and artistic clarity are inherently linked- when you're emotionally trapped you can't art it up properly, and when you get artistic clarity you reach emotional clarity. It just made it all the more poignant to me to make that connection between an artist's heart and their art.<br>What a film!!

What a film!!

This also makes me ending much happier in my eyes! The imagined future and Seb's playing scene is v much white light, showing that, though they are not together, they are happy with where they are emotionally and as artists.


i agreeeeee!!!! i love how real it is. it just speaks to ma heart ;))))))))) xxxxxxxx


i cried so so muchh - watching it. And i cried so much watching your vídeo. thank youuu


A friend and I just saw La La Land yesterday and I agree that this is the most beautiful film I've ever seen in my whole life. I loved it so so so much! I finally made it back to this video haha. I don't know if this is my hormones at work bc I'm on my period (soz if that's tmi) but I started tearing up at just the thought of the film it was just so good. My friend and I were both sobbing at the end and this one lady in the theater asked if we needed a tissue as she was leaving


I thought that maybe he wouldn't know that she got married and has a daughter ... but no, he would know that.  She became a famous star after all.<br>"But I got the bullets!"  That part was funny, many parts were funny.  Some of those shots of idealized LA were awesome too.  Also he was the one that encouraged her to write her own part when it seemed like she hadn't even considered it.  She wrote it herself of course but without that support would it have come to naught?  (I might argue that this is not a musical but it's a movie with music, although not a criticism (I also saw nothing wrong with the opening number, I thought it was intended to 'dip' the audience into this world that was its key role) - a 'musical' from the 50s and 60s would go much further in use of music.  It's a fine point and maybe not that important a point.

I have a movie musical recommendation ... from 1997 the German film BANDITS.  Maybe it's not a true musical either, I don't know - but it does have a lot more songs  = )  The film is German but all the songs are in English.


LITERALLY SAME IM SO IN LOVE THIS MOVIE IS SO REAL IT'S KILLIN ME


THE ENDING THOUGH. I thought "oh, a few years later, mia and seb are probably married and bla bla bla" BUT NOPE


I am SO GLAD !!!! You are as crazy about the movie as me!


this is.... the most wonderful film i have seen. ever.


I loved La La Land but moonlight was a much better film that deserves the best picture at the oscars this year.


I won´t say anything ´cause I don´t wanna rain in your parade
But I´ll say this
I watched this video like I watched the movie: waiting for to be pointed out to me what the whole buzz was about


I have some theatre friends who can't strand the movie...and I'm like..."Are you human?" Haha =) It was my favorite movie. Like yah.


Have you seen all the exit signs in the movie? There's a lot of them.


You and John made a cover Of city of stars !!! I think i am going to die right now !!


I saw it today and all I wanna do is dance and sing.... Ahhhhhh!


Thats how I feel about the perks of being a wallflower


i just want to give you a hug and talk about la la land for hours


i relate to this sssssssooooo much. love


I know I am late on the hype train but GOD DAMN I WAS SOBBING


the what could have been ending was amazing.


I'm seeing it tomorrow. So I can finally watch this soooon


i don't think it's a sad movie, i think it's realistic


Dodieee what do you think about the ending? :)


i agree, best piece of art ive ever seen


I just went and saw it and holy guacamole it was fabulous


I think this movie will be in broadway next years.


You are soooo cute. And adorable. If you ever come to Madrid, would be glad to talk about the film (I loved it and watched it 5 times) while having some tea (coffee, beer, gin&tonic...)<br>For research ;-)

THE POURING OF CHAMPAGNE EDITS WERE THE BEST I AGREE


without a doubt the best I've seen in 50 years and I'm 63!


I RELATED TO THIS VIDEO SO MUCH I LOVE YOU


Personally, I don't see why everyone loves the film and I didn't think the movie was worth the hype at all.  I'm thinking about going to see it again because I feel I didn't quite understand the film. Just my opinion though.


finally watching this video because I just went to see lalaland


I personally don't think that La La Land can be described as musical really or compared to big movie musicals like Singing in the Rain. I think it is more of a film with song in it rather than as equal balance which is what you have in musicals (sometimes more song than not). In the film we don't see Mia sing a song about all her failed auditions or about her love of Seb or something along those lines and the same goes with Seb. Furthermore, the cinematography and generally film aspects of this film are of much much much higher caliber than any other film of its genre therefore if we say it might be lacking in musical aspects then the other musical movies are lacking in film aspects in comparison to this furthering the fact they can't be compared. Loved the film, and I think it will soon become a classic in years to come.


OK OK OK OK OK SOOOOO LIKEEE N KDKJSDKJGKSBVJKSDB THIS MUSICAL I CANTTTT like omg.....ok so i love music so much and it takes an amazing musical to make me cry....well i was in tears from the MUSIC and then the story line on top of it like omg i canttt function i get into such a happy/jumpy mood just putting the soundtrack on like the opening number when i put it on in my room when getting ready or just relaxing im like having a party like OMGGGGGG i cant wait for it to come out on DVD


The Jimmy Fallon parody video was sooo funnnyy


Your outfit is inspired by the audition scene lols


Tomorrow I will finally be able to watch this video


Why didn't Sebastián got to Paris with Mia?


when you just cry because you wish you was on that movie, with that people but you aren't. Oh, i hate it when I fell in love with some movie and I can't be a part of it. I just get really sad because I wish I was there but also very happy because the movie is amazing. It's just a mix of emotions, I dont know what to do, just cry in my bed wishing I was in La la land world. Bye.


CITY OF STARSSSSS JUST ONE THING EVERYBODY WANTSSSSSSS


have you ever seen song to song... I'd say you'd like it 😊


finishes the video
Next video on autoplay: "Why I Didn't Adore La La Land (And Why That's Okay)"

*finishes the video*
Next video on autoplay: "Why I Didn't Adore La La Land (And Why That's Okay)"


who else didn't notice that she was wearing headphones in the beginning


And then in the related bar there is a video of dan not liking it XD


this is me almost four years ago when i watched Her


in the coffee shop scene before she and ryan go on a walk maybe


you cosplayed as like one of the saddest parts


Way too many cuts. I agree with everything though.


LA LA LAND is the best moviein the world!!! i really loveit


"I ran." [Anybody, anybody? LOL.  Loved that.] * https://youtu.be/DOmIpiTMs2w *


i found it so weak..can not believe this film won so many awards, there must be some kind of inside job happening at the oscars. literally felt like such a boring, predictable uninspired story..ALSO why has no one pointed out that the music was SO MEDIOCRE..like litterally, think about the great musicals, a west side story, mouln rouge..such great great iconic music that is just game changing. this doesn't even pare up in comparrison. also didn't move me at all and i found ryan's performance surprinsly flat and there was no chemistry between them whatsoever.


this is how i feel about avatar the last airbender


I can't remember a syllable of any song in this film except for fucking 'i ran'


ok wow this was me with both la la land and moulin rouge


Ok, but can we talk about the filming techniques???? Like the entire opening number was one take. ONE. TAKE. And if you pay attention, most of the music scenes are the same. It's super cool, because it gives it a Broadway feel, and displays the raw pureness of the music. However. HOWEVER!! In the scene where Seb and the band are playing in front of a crowd for the first time, it's so many different shots and camera angles. You get a shot of Seb, then one of the crowd, then one of the lead singer, then one from up above, and so many more. You can see that a lot in modern music, showing different camera angles is very popular. In doing this, they showed how they modernized jazz and changed it to "keep up with the times." Idk, I'm not even a film geek, I'm a freakin writer, but I thought it was so cool.


I had to wait to see this video until after I saw La La land. The first thing I did after seeing it tonight was watch this video. I can not express in words how much I loved this film. The ending hit a little too close to home in all the best ways. So brilliant.


I loved the ending for so many reasons but one of the biggest reasons is that throughout the colours they have been wearing bright colours but at the end mia wears black and seb wears brown. I feel like it represents their acceptance and that they are no longer superficial which is represented by the bright colours

This is unrelated but another day in the sun (the opening song) is my absolute favourite song and ive listened to it on loop since i watched the movie


When you said "I fell in love in LA this year", I went "you go girl!"

Thanks for this adorable video!


I CRIED THROUGH THE WHOLE FILM AS WELL. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH <3<br>Of course I'm totally IN LOVE with the film as well.

I CRIED THROUGH THE WHOLE FILM AS WELL. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH <3
Of course I'm totally IN LOVE with the film as well.


I feel the exact same way. I just saw it last night and it's so beautiful! I love how it and I can't I don't have the words to explain how much this movie has impacted me. When I walked out of the theater it was like I was in love with a movie. Everything was more colorful and more beautiful and the more and more I think about the movie the more I know that being an artist is what I need to do. I need to be creating. I need to impact someone the way I've been impacted! I have to give back what I've been given.


I saw it yesterday night and I feel exactly the same way. I watched it because you recommended it and I didn't understand how it could possibly have affected anyone this much but now I totally understand. I have never cried at a movie so much in my life. The way there love is presented is so perfect and how their careers drove them apart is so upsetting! Mia and Sebastian's characters are so perfectly played! Thanks so much for the recommendation because now this is defiantly one of my all time favourite films xx


I hear you, doddlevloggle! I've watched it 4 times since it came out and I had never watched a film in the cinema more than once prior to this - and it's easily my favorite movie of all time. I was going through a pretty tough time when it came out, and I feel like this movie helped lift me out of a dark place.


I just saw La La Land last night and I absolutely adored it! As an RTV major that film hit me so hard because of how technically beautiful the film was! I was sobbing at the end from the sheer beauty of it. The cinematography was amazing and so inspiring! I hope to create a film like it one day! There were so many old Hollywood film techniques in it. The shot of her writing the script for the play when they used an iris shot, omg. I loved it. And the opening scene with the long take was so much like the opening scene of Touch of Evil and it made me so happy. The editing was beautiful and they did the transitions between the scenes so smoothly, it was like there was barely any edits in it at all.

I just, I love this film so much. I want to see it again just so I can watch it for the story and the colors and the artistry of the film. Not that I didn't see all of that before, but I would love to pay even closer attention to it. I love this movie so much, oooooohhhh my goooood. I want to see it a thousand more times.

And the ending hit me so hard! Just how they both achieved their dreams and got what they wanted, but not each other. Just, ugggh that film was incredible. I didn't want it to end.


You completely nailed my feelings and love for this movie. I still can't think about it or hear the soundtrack without getting emotional. Such a wonderful piece of art. 9:31 nails how I feel about it all.    -Mark


This movie is so beautiful! I've been listening to the soundtrack every day since I saw it. I can't wait to go see it again.


I saw it the other day, i am very late, but IT WAS SO AMAZING AND I LOVE HOW THE CHARACTERS AREN'T PERFECT, how they have awkward little moments and it was just beautiful.


i watched la la land last night.
i was waiting to cry, because i cry at everything and everyone said it was sad, and i didn't cry.
nothing really stood out to me ?


I feel like the entire soundtrack is just so beautiful. I think one song I always find myself tearing up on is "Someone In the Crowd" when Emma Stone sings at 3:06 and of course "Fools Who Dream". I feel like those songs really describe the strong aspirations so many people can relate to, when they have a dream they want to accomplish.


Well, I went to watch La La Land alone and I ended up going to watch it again for another 3 times. THAT IS HOW MUCH LOVE THIS MOVIE!!! It is an amazing piece of art, the Cinematography, Music, and Story. All performed to perfection. La La Land is my favorite musical of all time so far!!!

is it me or every time I walked out of the theater I had this unquantifiable pain in my chest :'(  but I still love to go and watch the movie again.


I feel exactly the same. I cried because it was a freaking beautiful movie, and I'm so happy I landed here


I just went to a screening today and I cried for 1/3 of it. it's so beautiful! And after I went to the bathroom and two girls came in behind me and asked me if I was OK. And I had to explain... it was great


La la land was amazing, it truly inspired me how they achieved their dreams but sadly not together:(


Damn. Cried TWICE MORE watching this video. I was so, so overwhelmed by the artistry and nostalgia and /rightness/ of this film. You took the feeling and put it into words more coherently than I ever could. I'll refer this to anyone who asks me why I'm crying during the planetarium scene.


I loved this film so much, the music just blew me away. I dont think I am quite as obsessed as you Dodie, but i can relate. This is exactly how I felt a few years ago reading/watching the hunger games. To the point where you just want to be consumed into these fantasy land ugh its the best!! xx


I feel you. I'm just as obsessed with how dreamy and melancholic it is at the same time. Such a beautiful movie ❤


I avoided this video til I watched it and I finally watched and I'm so glad it's not just me that was intensely overwhelmed purely by how beautiful it was...


Girl you've stole my words...Such in love with this beautiful piece of art!!


La la land was the best movie I had ever seen! I'm glad that you loved it just as much as me. Life changing, beautiful, and so touching to people who dream and love.


the change in expression at the end, its soooo subtle but so BEAUTIFUL and it says so much its so lovely


I just went to see it for the second time and my heart feels 10x the size of my chest I LOVE THIS FILM SO MUCH OH MY GOD


Dodie, your reactions to the soundtrack and the way you talk about the movie are literally me. I was crying so hard and I will, I guarantee you, be crying again when I hear the songs.


I just saw the movie and I finALLY understand. Thanks for making this video that encapsulates how I feel Dodie <3


Okay so this flipping movie made such an impact on me that I cry when I think of it, like not even just the sad parts just how great it is and the fact that it's love the way it should be, about each other and their professions.


I fell in love since the very first scene. And literally cried throughout. I think it's captivating how everyone cries at different parts of the film as they relate. I cried some parts out of pure joy and happiness, sometimes nostalgia. I don't think I've ever cried so much from happiness in my life. xD The part where they danced with the stars had me bawling. It was just sooo beautiful. And I could literally feel the love bleeding out of my heart. I actually felt like I was falling in love with someone, but instead of a person it was a movie <3


I can't even express how much I loved this movie. Mia reminds me of dodie so much. You should do a scene with one of you friends dodie!!


In December of last year, I thought to myself, "My favorite film of the year is still Deadpool, a movie that came out in February", then I saw La La Land, and cried over its beauty.


I loved this movie so hard, I think about it all day all night. It made me smile it made me cry, you're so lucky you got to be at a screening with them 😭 how perfect Mia and seb looked together. I listen to the songs of the movie about 272797 times a day.


I legitimately had the same reaction, I really don't know why but I did and I think thats the beauty of this film. Really glad , that I had a chance to watch the movie before the Oscar Hype. It has been such an important film to me


another lovely little moment: when seb sends mia up the hill to her car before their first dance, even though his car is right outside the party :)))


I can't even begin to explain how much I loved this movie ! It spoke to me on so many levels ! The colours, the songs, the old movies vibes, the costumes, everything was just perfect ! Loved every scene and The fact that we understand important parts of the movies only with just the way it's shown !


I saw the film about two days ago, and I was fine all the way through the film, taking in how beautiful the film actually was, and then the ending came and I couldn't stop crying OMG. I love it so much ahh


When I realised what the end music piece represented, I just started crying uncontrollably. Such a beautiful movie.


My friend and I went to La La Land today and I was so amazed and then walked out of the theater, with a slightly damp face, wide eyes, and a shell shocked brain. It was absolutely lovely


I saw it two times and I want to see it one more time. I hope they make a second one because that would be better than the first. I can relate for you being obsessed over it because I am too. I listen to it all the time.


Came back after watching the movie... it has to be one of my favorite movies of all time tbh.... I really related to the fools who dream I actually cried in the movie theater love that song 10\10


I saw this yesterday and honestly, THIS FUCKING RUINED ME. At the end I didn't cry, I just say completely still for 10 seconds after it ended, completely overwhelmed.


The entire theater gasped at the ending. It was such a great movie and the soundtrack was beautifully done. Also, thank you for doing a legit cover of the 'City of Stars'. It was wonderful


Truly one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen.


i love this film so much that after i'd finished it in one theatre i ran (so far away) to a different one to rewatch it immediately after


I loved the film so much, and I just couldn't stop crying during the ending sequence. It broke my heart, and it was beautiful. And frustrating because I knew I couldn't change the ending... Stunning film <3


Yes, I clearly understand you... I cried more than three times 😢 Is so beautiful, realistic (at the end), inspiring... 💕
This movie teach us so many things... SO MANY. While I'm watching it... I couldn't eat my popcorns & I had a literally "Rat tat tat of my heart" ❤

P.S. I'm so happy to find your video... I literally felt that I was the only one who was affected for this movie 😪🤗☺🙆🏻🎥❤✨


I went to the cinema 3 times! And i legit never did that before with any movie. Like man, this was an absolute masterpiece! I was astonished from the opening number by everything that was happening and how it was made (and also the camera movement wow) and yes. I. LOVE. THIS. MOVIE. (also I study Film among other things so I was even more excited about the cinematography and stuff!)


I've put this video off until I had seen it. The film was amazing. I didn't know much going into it. I didn't know if I would like it as i thought I wouldn't relate but that wasn't the case. I cried during the movie. Every time they played the song near the end I would cry even more. I want to watch it again and again. I hoped that I wasn't the only one crying. Thank you for recommending this beautiful film.


I love how in the end, it's not cliche like they get back together and fall in love, but they live their own lives and you see a glance of what their life would be like if they got married, but they didn't. I love this movie and when I comes out on DVD I'm gonna cry and run to the closest store that sells it


I've finally seen La La Land so I now could watch this video!! and oh man. I love this movie. I love it. It just made me realize that I have a big amount of love for musicals. And ah Ryan Gosling is just the love of my life.


I'm so glad someone is fangirling as much as I am. I saw the movie for the first time this Sunday (29th) and as it went by I felt more and more.... affected by the whole magic feel this movie gives us. Goodness, I left the last movie session with my cousins and the mall was empty and we were just dancing around it because we just wanted to make that feeling last. It was amazing! I'm so gonna subscribe to you channel! I loved your video. I loved that you're so into it that you didn't just write little notes, but at least two pages of notes on your notebook, because that's how much you love it!!! omg omg, this is so exciting! I love the cover, btw. It was so good!


I am so late to the La La Land love party but I'm here nevertheless. I saw it yesterday and have been in a daze ever since. For me it felt like the musical I would create if I made one.There was a vibrancy to the film, so much colour and aesthetically pleasing. The relationship between Seb and Mia was so wonderful yet not perfect which I loved. The ending broke my heart A LOT. However the idea that you can achieve your dreams was such a powerful message throughout and despite the two not being together I had grudging respect for the ending (grudging because I wanted Mia and Seb to be together and achieve their dreams. Although Mia's daughter is soo adorable, so that was a plus). The way they showed an alternate ending that was never meant to be was such a beautiful touch whilst still managing to break m heart even more.I adored the musical references/inspiration and if they ever did a stage production I would die of happiness. I am too emotionally invested in this film already. The whole production was incredible and the cinematograph - wow! Definitely need to go see it again and again and again!


I went to see it today and I ADORED IT! but what made me upset was that there was only 6 people in the entire theatre! This movie deserves more love!


Well Dodie, I followed your advice. I just came back from the theatre and watched your video. I really liked the film. The colors, the music, the actors, the aesthetics in general were stricking. It is a beautiful film, that's for sure, and I was somewhere else for two hours. I loved its appearant simplicity, when everything is in fact so sophisticated in the way it's been directed. But, still, I'm not quite satisfied with the scenario. It could have gone further, developed characters more, etc. But I do agree. Mia was a very interesting person to portray, and Emma Stone did her justice. Really, the actors were perfect in here. And then... came the ending. And I thought it was very clever. Because it is an homage to musical comedies does not mean it needs to end like they all did. And that's what Chazelle perfectly delivered. Something new, but not really revolutionary. It was well balanced and daring.
I do think artists relate to this more than other people. I want to be a professional writer and illustrator, and I've always been told that this is not a real job, that I need to stop dreaming and take my responsibilities as an adult. It's hard not to give up sometimes, especially when the words don't come. And in this way, the ending made me feel sad. Is Chazelle telling us that, to make our dreams come true, we need to give up on those we love? To live parallel existences, never to meet again? This is the kind of undertone that I felt. And I don't really know what to think of that. I already have the impression that some people i've loved have become darling memories that keep me writing. But memories are not that substantial.
Anyway, we will all agree on the fact that this film messed us up... but in a good way ! That smile at the end was a perfect closure.


I WAS GENUINELY SO CONFUSED BY THE END, I MEAN I WAS SO HAPPY BECAUSE THEY BOTH ACCOMPLISHED THEIR LIFE GOALS EVEN THOUGH THEY MADE IT SEPARATE FROM EACH OTHER I MEAN


Dodie I just saw la la land today and I couldn't stop crying thank you for talking about it and making me see it it's the most beautiful peace of art I've seen


I thought that the final sequence, when they were going through their whole story, was Seb's way of saying that he realized that Mia was his real dream all along, and that's why that sequence means so much to me and tears me apart, because of the tragedy of lost love yet knowing that he had to let Mia go and follow her real dreams. He gave up his dream, which was her, so that she could follow her dream.


This film made me believe that true love does exist. Recently I've been thinking that the true love that you see in the movies does not actually exist and that no one is actually that happy with someone and stuff like that. But this film made me believe that that kind of love does exist, but it's just not always the end game for people. You may not end up with the person that you were the most madly in love with because of whatever circumstances, and that is completely ok. For some people, that kind of love is only a phase in their life meant to put them on some other path to what's in store for them. For others, maybe they do end up with that kind of love. But I've learned that it may not be that way for everyone, and that's ok. La La Land made me believe in love again, and that's something beautiful that I will always cherish.


I LOVE LA LA LAND SOOOOO MUCH!!!!! AAAAAAAGGHH!!!! It's such a beautiful film and I did cry....a lot lol. But seriously agh I loved it so so so much !!!


Coming back to this after watching the film. Everyone I went with hated it apart from me. They all wanted to go early and I was like I'M STAYING YOU CAN'T MAKE ME LEAVE. Such a beautiful film.


I started watching this video after I had watched La La Land, stopped, went to see it and came back to see what Doddie had to say about it. I agree with everything she's said here and I loved the film and the music in it SO MUCH it hurts. However I didnt quite like the fact that she ends up having a family and he ends up alone because it gave me a feeling of "as if she needed someone to fulfill her dreams and careers" altho if that was what Mia wanted it's fine, but they dont stop there too much. Anyways, I loved the colours, the themes, the jazz and Mia and Seb and this film is art


I started crying at lovely night and then proceeded to cry throughout the rest of the movie and for about a year afterwards


I just watched La La Land this morning. And I can't even put my love for it in words😍
I felt so overwhelmed halfway through the damn opening number, and I don't even know why. It was such a beautiful production and darn all the pretty music.
I cried SO HARD in the end. Yes, I know it was kind of a good ending, but the fact that they achieved their dreams separately is just SO. HEARTBREAKING.
The epilogue number is SO BEAUTIFUL. I teared up even when I listened to it at home.
In conclusion: JUST A BEAUTIFUL AND OVERWHELMING FILM. I WAS SO TOUCHED. ❤
And oh my god the swelling lungs feeling? I FEEL YA DODIE💓


I watched this before I saw the film and what Dodie said made me want to see it because she is so passionate about it. Coming back to this video after I've watched the film, I started to cry because I can relate with what Dodie is saying SO MUCH and they are the words that I wanted to say but couldn't think of. UGH! Its so beautiful!!!! You can't just listen to a musical's soundtrack you have to SEE a musical's soundtrack because that's how it was supposed to be perceived!!


I'm going to be arranging Another Day of Sun for my acapella choir. It's my first arrangement so I'm slightly nervous about it but I'm so in love with the film I knew I needed to find some way of paying tribute to it


I only caught it last week, pretty late. As  i walked out the cinema, I thought the golden globe awards were a bit overhyped - it's a good movie but not spectacularly awesome. Then a strange thing happened, as I think it over I start to like the movie more and the songs keep playing back in my head. I've now heard the soundtrack so many times and I've come to love the movie so much more then when I first walked out the theatre.


I jsut watched it and wow, It hit me so hard, specially in the part where ema starts that monologue of the story of her aunt. as someone who loves art and who chose a path related to it. crazy dreams are always here, in my mind and i just deadass started ugly crying in the theater. just letting me know that im not the only one who always thinks of other paths... of the crazy dreams. makjna i loved th movie so much it was such beautiful directing and the music and AHHHH everything was just spot on for dreamers. I'll just go cry in the corner now dsmvskv


I'm so obsessed with this musical , I don't care how cliché this sounds , but it made me feel all warm and fuzzy !


when in the ending you see them together and you cried of happiness until it went back to the reality if her being with the other guy,but at least they both achieve their dreams. Here's to the fools who dream.


I cried at the end💕it was just so amazing 😇


nO BUT THE ENDING FFFFF-
probably one of my favorite parts was when the two made eye contact (Mia from the crowd, Seb from the stage) and you can almost feel the physical pain they have in their hearts knowing that they still love each other, yet they will most likely never be together. theEN THE WHOLE DANCE SEQUENCE OF "WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN" OHHH BOYYY
it is all so beautiful? like, the scenery, music, and dancing in that scene?
also, the thought that every time Mia hears jazz now, she is going to think of Seb and all the times that they shared together, him honking his horn obnoxiously to make her come outside, the pep talks about auditions from Seb, etc. AAAA
but as someone who has considered giving up art so many times, "The Fools Who Dream" almost made me have an ugly crying fit, even though I never cry in movies.
also can we talk about how adorable mia was when seb was playing with a band at a party she was at? she was just dancing and singing like a cute nerd eeee
I can go on for hours someone please send help
(not so) In conclusion, this entire movie made me an emotional wreck and it is so beautiful and aaaaa
 (I would flip tf out if dodie actually replied omg hi ily)


its so good i wasnt EXACTLY crying but it inspired me to actually go to a camp that could point me in the direction of a music school that im super anxious about

and i know exactly that swelling feeling you're describing!!!! something happened and i just fell in love


I waited to watch this until I've seen it and we just watched it in class and oHMY GOD I ACTUALLY REALLY LIKED IT everyone else hated it and my choir teacher walked out of the room and said "I'd rather be sick" which was quite unnecessary in my opinion but I LOVED IT SO MUCH NONETHELESS AND AAAAAAAAHHHH


ME TOOOOO, i watched it with my friends and i was so focus to the movie bcs HOW DARE YOU IGNORE IT??? lol jk i cried like a baby and my friends were like 'ah you're so sensitive blah blah' and i said 'guys its just too beautiful i mean i already cried before the sad-yet-happy-ending bcs its beautifulness, im in love' (sorry for bad grammar)


I just can't. omg 😭 It's the most stunning piece of art I have ever seen. It just brings me to tears. oh my. The end 😭😍


I love the ending. They couldn't have done it any better. Yes, they don't end up together. But the moment that I knew everything was going to be ok was when they shared a smile. It was one of the most beautiful things.


I sobbed so much. I'm doing "Fools who dream" in a performance soon and I don't think I'm going to get through without crying (but yano, can say I'm acting). I just found it so incredibly relatable when Mia was saying "But what if I am just not good enough? What if this isn't what I'm supposed to do?" because I GET THAT SO MUCH. I don't have tons of world experience, but I sure have been told lots of times that what I can do isn't enough, at one stage I refused to sing in front of people for four years straight. And not only that, but the fact that she gets up from there. She needs a push, but she works her ass off and gets herself into the world. Even that is inspiring, and the fact that she achieves her dream in bloody heart-breaking. Also the music is gorgeous and I love how the intervals aren't boring and use more complicated melodies and AGH. And the characters actually have really well developed character arcs and you see them developing, and I totally get what you said about mannerisms! I love when films/shows pick up on small details like that, it's so pretty. I love how it shows that things don't always work out the way that you want them to, and you might have to bend away from your ideals and your comfort zone to get where you want to be, you may even have to completely take things into your own hands and push yourself forwards, but you can make your own success and find your own happiness in the way you potentially didn't even know you wanted. The happy ending you get might not be the one you thought you wanted, but it can still be perfect 💕💕


Watched la la land cause of Dodie, never been so thankful. THE MOVIE KILLED ME


the ending absolutely killed me too - but it had such a timeless ending. I like to think I can predict how movies will end and i'm usually correct - however I don't think anyone can honestly say that's how it would end.  I'm obsessed with the soundtrack and currently learning it on my Yamaha keyboard.  So impressed Ryan pulled off the piano and it WASNT a different person ( I work in movies and know all the tricks, it's I could tell from the shots it was actually gosling...) Emma stone's emotions through the film during her auditions - the first scene in the bar where we THOUGHT they would kiss and he brushes her off - how they went on what...3 ??? 2?? dates and didn't hook up  -  it was genuine and he walked her to her car all the way up the hill. The entire film was incredibly written and shot, my hats off to the crew!  I fell in love with this film from the moment it started on the freeway - I was born in LA and sometimes I really despise this city because of the traffic, the fakers, the posers and the rude people who do anything to get ahead of you - but from the LA party scene - to the coffee shop on the movie lot (which is real) it was perfect.  Your video is really cute - thanks for sharing!


can we talk more about the music, about the flashbacks, about the revisited concepts, about the "fragile vocals" that gave them so much power and strength, the rawness genuine heartbreaking story but maybe not so heartbreaking love that is shared. i just can't. can't stop thinking about it. talking about it. going to watch it to the cinéma. share it to everyone. i just can't stop wanting to notice more and more details, more and more motions. but it hurts so much, how can such a beautiful and perfect thing make me so happy yet sad. i guess that's how love works. ps: this is so satisfying to see you obsessed with it as much as i am, and love it as much as i do. i might have laughed, and cry, and cry of laughter or laughed sadly idek


I'm back! I cried when they fought, I cried when he came to bring her back and I cried at the end seeing how they were supposed to be together, but they're not. Love is my favorite theme, so them not being together really broke me. <br>AND I DONT WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT ANYMORE. Thanks for making me go see it Dodie~

You embody my exact obsession with this film!!


I couldn't believe that after watching the movie, my friend turns to me says she didn't get it. I mean come on! And now, after watching this video, just makes me so glad that I'm not the only one who's in love with this movie.
I LOVE how the movie kind of made a contrast between the fantasy and the reality. For example,  the opening scene, I think it showed the world that we hope to be in, where people would jump out of their car singing and dancing during a horrible and annoying traffic, feels so positive about everything, then brings us to mia and see, who were not having the greatest day.
And oh the songs! I listened to every single one of them every morning on my way to school and they always make me smile through the morning.


Since I watched it yesterday I just can not stop thinking about it. I'm singing city of stars all the time and as I searched the song here right after the movie, one of the first videos I have seen was your cover :) Its very nice! It also inspired me to finally make my dream come true and learn how to play piano. I wan't it soooo bad right now


I LOVE LA LA LAND SOOO MUCH i listen to the soundtrack everyday! It's so beautiful I just aaaaah


I Loooveed the movie  and I'm glad I wasn't the only person crying my eyes out in the theater...I had to  cover my face with my jacket because I  a mess. And it took me a while to get to a normal state ahaha. The movie is just a masterpiece, from the genius writing, most beautiful movie soundtrack ever and emma and ryan just perfection! the cinematography was so beautiful<br>...gosh, this movie hit me really hard and I can't honestly understand why so many people don't get  the brilliancy of  it!

but i also loved this video so much!!!! it's like you can almost touch your excitement


It's so funny cause I have same thoughts as you and I feel just like you! :D Such a good movie!!


I really like how you express yourself. I think it's adorable.


The ending made me sobbbbb in the movie theatre, I was actually sobbing


I love how on the end it shows what would've happened id it was the cheesy happy ending instead of what actually happens. BUT THAT LOOK AT THE END THO BETWEEN MIA AND SEB O MHYYYY


omg I´m just going to explode from your awesome personality and spirit. thanks for existing


My best friend and I just saw it last night, and it was so beautiful.


There is some parts in the movie, where the scenario and everything else, just disappears. And it feels like their are alone in the world, make the best they can, make the thing they love. I love this movie because of these moments. They've left me breathless. Im a singer, some dude that just love singing, and I felt this once. Its the best feeling in the world. I also Love La La Land. I think, somehow, i connected


i start crying simply by REMEMBERING the movie <3


I cried and awed so much the guy next to me thought i was insane. He kept looking over and gave me weird looks


I sat in the theater about 25 minutes after the movie ended just sobbing. This movie was so god damn good.


During the end when it showed what it could have been if Sebastian and Mia stayed together I started sobbing and I looked at my mom and mouthed "I'm not okay" ughhhh but the movie is just so good it's freaking amazing it's probably my favorite movie now


I just watched it today... the ending I cried Dodie, i cried


hi my name is paris and this film fricken sums me up I've seen the film 10 times everything about it is perfect. i can relate to this so much as an artist myself and when you feel like nothing and want to give up but you keep going. And I'm so you while listening to the music HAHA #feels it's such a beautiful movie and i love how anything can happen it is just the best. and don't even get me started on the ending like omggg i could go on and on about the movie


IN THE END ALL I COULD THINK ABOUT WAS WHEN THEY TOLD EACH OTHER THEY WOULD LOVE EACH OTHER FOREVER AND WHEN MIA IS JUST STARING AT HIM LI KE UFHGHFGJhsgjkdahgkjs a i cried so much it's so beautiful


Hi dodie!
So I did stop this video (as advised) at 1:28 and went to see la la land before watching the rest of your video, and I am SO SO glad that someone else felt the same as I did watching this incredible, beautiful film.
Firstly, the opening seen was absolutely wonderful! It was such a pleasure to watch, as was the whole film.
I felt such an overwhelming sense of "oh my god what is happening to me, this is so beautiful why cant I stop crying" (that's the best way I can describe it). I think I felt so attached and drawn in to this film because I could really relate to Mia's character and the paths she had to go down to follow her dream.
The ending made me BREAK oh my god...as if I hadn't cried enough in the film, the ending BROKE ME. It was such a bitter sweet feeling because you are so happy for the Mia and Seb for achieving their dreams, but yet so sad that they didn't end up together.
Overall I am truly in love with la la land and it was so nice to hear how passionate you are about it to, thank you for sharing your take on the film dodie :)
Jess x


I thought I was the only one that felt like this 💗


I saw La La Land and fell in love with pretty much everything! I uploaded a cover of "City Of Stars" because it's the song I felt most connected with :)


ART. I could listen to you talk about this all day


I just watched it. My heart.

Also, I am in love with the way you talk about it.. sdjfklhsdfj


I love this i love this so much like this was literally me when I sad it


Hiya, just stumbled across your vid. What do you think of the theme of dreaming and daring to dream? Also the colours and imagery really appealed to me.


This movie fucked me up. I cried and I laughed and I giggled and I sobed throughout this movie. Everything about it, is just perfection. Ryan and Ema were amazing, the dancing and the singing, and emotions they portrayed got me choked up often. OST is A M A Z I N G. I don't know how to play any instrument, but I was soooo captured by Seb's and Mia's theme that I had to learn it, and I did.  This movie is full of little nuanses that are perfectly put, and If you catch them, you can fell the magic is almost real. The end was heartbreaking, and even though I know it's not possible, listening to the song that Seb's is playing, I have hope they eventualy somewere in the future, end up together. Because he didn't played the last note...I share this obsession with you, 100%.


i was crying since the cinema scene and could not stop till the very end. afterwards i was shaking for the rest of evening, i feel you, doddie < 3


I saw it today and I loved it sososo much 💕


the only thing I didn't like was the tap number, it was so simple and the sound of the taps on concrete made me cringe. apart from that, it was gorgeous. I actually loved the ending, as it was more of a focus on realism over the audience's happy ending; they still reached a happy ending. I love it sm


not so much the acting that inspired me, the music, light and colour were what caught me


I waited weeks to watch this video because the movie wasn't on in my city, and now I watched it...  I danced at the bus stop for twenty minutes in the rain... <br>pretty wet now.

pretty wet now.


AT THE END OF THE MOVIE I TRIED NOT LET THE TEARS FALL AND RUIN MY MAKEP BUT I SOBBED SO HARD. SO. HARD.


Just watched it yesterday and i am in love with this film


LA LA LAND WAS SO BEAUTIFUL AND SAD I SOBBED WHEN IT SAID THE END :( THEY SHOUDLVE STAYED TOGETHER :((


i want a longer, downloadable version of your pretty version of Mia and Sebastien's Theme plz


I can't get over how beautiful it was like OMG bye


I JUST SAW IT AND I CRIED SO MUCH. IT WRECKED ME.


ugh, none of my friend have watched la la land and think i'm crazy when i talk about it. one of then loves hamilton and they talk about it so much and roll their eyes when i talk about la la land lIKE EXCUSE ME I LISTEN TO YOU TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING YOU LOVE,  LET ME TALK ABOUT SOMETHING I'M SUPER PASSIONATE ABOUT. I EVEN WANT TO SING CITY OF STARS FOR OUR SCHOOL'S TALENT SHOW AND THEY AREN'T SUPPORTING ME


I think I loved this movie so much because Emma stone looks really like my friend. I'm now gonna go on a date with her to go watch this movie again lol....


Lol, I think that beginning part is how we all felt after La La Land.


Dude, I'm crying just whatching this video, and I'm a bearded man. Damn you Chazelle!


Ive been waiting to watch this video until after seeing la la land. anD OMG I SAW IT LAST NIGHT AND IT WAS BEAUTIFUL


IT ARRIVED SO LATE TO MEXICO AND I WAS JUST SO ANXIOUS TO SEE IT BECAUSE OF YOU AND YESTERDAY I SAW IT AND EVERYTIME I REMEMBER IT I CRY IT IS PERFECTION


i'm a guy. and i love this movie. many people in my school called me gay for loving la la land. i tell them to watch the movie. and they love it too. lol


One critique that I thought you might address that you didn't was the fact that La La Land was the "sure you can copy my homework but make sure you can tell it was mine" of Last 5 Years by Jason Robert Brown. Don't get me wrong I fell head over heels IN LOVE with La La Land but being that I have also been head over heels for Last 5 Years, it was extremely evident that La La Land was almost it's carbon copy. Like there's a line Mia says at one point about how whenever she goes to an audition their all wearing the same thing but most of them look better than she does, where in Last 5 Years during the song Climbing Uphill where Cathy says, "standing in line with two hundred girls who are younger and thinner than me" and the fact that Mia & Cathy are both pursuing actresses who are having a rough time. Also, just like Mia & Sebastian, Cathy & Jamie don't make it in the end. I love both of the films/musicals but that was one critique I definitely had. (Just saying the soundtrack is a work of genius, I'm in absolute love, it makes me want to quit pursuing music education and become a jazz musician) GREAT VIDEO & I loved the cover <3


you know what!! forget about LA LA Land .. i could stare at your natural beauty forever<br>❤❤❤

you know what!! forget about LA LA Land .. i could stare at your natural beauty forever
❤❤❤


Shit after watching this vid I feel like I missed smth. A guy invited me to go see la la land with him, but I was like : No.  Now have to watch by myself haha


to be really honest i can't really understand the hype like the film was good but to me that's it. it was good but not as exceptional as everyone else seems to think. i think I'm missing something


You and me both! most beautiful piece of art!!


i watched film today and film wasn't feminist... IT WAS AWESOME. Sebastian and i, we are thinking same about jazz. I love Mia but the last scene which about thoughts of Seb's... i think we are the same person 😛 and he did a lot of sacrifices for his woman of his life which makes him a hero of the whooole movie for me. Love you btw ❤


Even if you don't like the film itself you must admit that Dodies enthusiasm towards it is adorable and like-worthy


i started crying right after i stopped :^)


i hugged my friend after seeing it and she was really annoyed because i wouldn't let go


OH MY GOD!! i've just seen it probably 20 minutes ago.... I'M IN LOVE😍😍


I am literally at the cinema waiting for la la land to start


Your eyes look great in this video Dodie!!


is "City Of Stars" your favorite song? I can't listen to it without crying. help lol


and finally you upload this movie ahhh i feel so connected ♡


Anybody else notice how the only time Mia takes off her small necklace the tiny green pendant is when she's on her date with Greg. She kept it on the entire time she knew Sebastian, as if she didn't have to dress up or change around him. A tiny detail but I really, really liked that.

Also, the big band adaptation of the Lovely Night theme during their dance is SUCH A GOOD JAM

This film. Aaaaaaaaaaaah this filM!

If the only thing you are going to say in a 11 minute video its "i love that thing, i love another thing" just let the audience know before hand. Thanks.


OK BUT DODIE HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE ENDING CAUSE IDK HOW TO FEEL IT WAS SO DEEP BUT THEY SHOULD BE TOGETHER BUT LIKE IDEK HELP


they should make this movie a broadway musical !!!!

@sayjai bao its a musical though i dont see how they will change it o.o?

OBEDEAR  noo! it's beautiful the way it is on film...no need to interpret it in Broadway format.


I loved the ending. It makes you cry because they aren't together, but they achieved their dreams. The ending is happy, yet leaves sobbing. Isn't that just such an amazing thing to actually pull off in a film?! Not only was the acting and the story line simply WONDERFUL, but also the cinematography was spectacular! It was such a beautiful movie. Ugh I can't get over it either. Haha


I JUST WATCHED IT TODAY N IM STILL CRYING


I don't like the ending because even though they got there dreams they aren't together and that made me sad I came out from watching it and couldn't stop thinking about it :(


omg the end of la la land just has me shook 😂


I watched La La Land and found it boring, but it's a nice movie. The ending was pretty cool, they finally achieved their dreams, but I don't get why everyone loves it SO much. Soundtrack was great, ending was great, plot was great, but not the GREATEST. I don't want to offend anyone, but can someone please tell me why people love it SO SO much?


MEEEEEE I CRY EVERYTIME I LISTEN TO THE SOUNDTRACK

"You're allowed not to like it" (true) BUT WHAT IS NOT TO LIKE PEOPLE ITS LIKE THE BEST FILM EVRRR HCRVSFBKBTDDVJBJJ

Which song on the soundtrack is the one with the big drum beat? X loved the movie!!


The outfit is from the scene where Sebastian cooks Mia dinner and they fight bc Sebastian isn't happy


i love you, but you talk so fast and i'm just a latin girl. this is challenging everytime.


Story of every Bollywood movie.. I don't understand all the fuss about it..


random question, but what font do you use?


OKAY BUT WHAT WAS THE ENDING I DON'T KNOW HOW TO THINK


YOU'RE AN ACTOR, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!


I feel like the only person who thinks this was an awful movie. The entire story was boring and cliche, and not well thought out. The music was mediocre at best. The story just went along, with no explanations for important things. On top of that, there was nothing that angered me more than the ending. Don't get me wrong, I love the whole movie aesthetic-wise, but you're telling me it made me watch 2 hours of a boring story with boring themes + mediocre love story developing, just to have them not together in the end, with no explanation as to why?? You're kidding me?? I mean, I had really high expectations for the movie, but it was terrible. My opinion. :-/


and the jazz part! when mia says that se doesn't like jazz, seb takes her to a club to explain why jazz is so beautiful. he say that the beautty of jazz that the musican is creating the song while playing it, and so each time the "same" song is played it becomes a new song. the magic in this subject is that this idea is applied througout the movie. each time the song is played, its a new song...


The only thing I really don't like is the ending. They where endgame! But I like, that they had the guts to let it end with an realistic ending and not some fairytale happy ending. BUT THEY WERE ENDGAME!


About feminism; Seb is clearly not a feminist, but the film portrays his old-fashioned behaviour rather negatively tbh, making the film itself feminist. Even if Seb acts sexist through much of it, you never doubt the agency and independence of Mia in this film.<br>What hit the nail on the head for me was when Seb hears Mia talk to her mum and ASSUMES that people expect him to be able to take care of her financially. He clearly firmly (if unconsciously?) believes this, but when he (vaguely) expresses this belief to her during their fight... she has no idea what he is even on about. And the mere thought that she would value his money more than his dreams is portrayed as an obvious insult. This choice of Seb's displays one of the main feminist issues for males; that of economic dependency, which is not an issue that men of the 21st century should be dealing with at all, and I believe that it is really important that the film bring up this issue, and do it the way it is done. There should be no guilt there, and no need to sell out for anybody. Not even the person you love. The only care they need is emotional. :)

i lowkey feel bad bc i dont see whats special about the movie, if anything i disliked it. i can appreciate the scenery at the scene where he imagined an au ig ,???


Listen to Queen's These Are The Days. Mia's song is kinda like it because in the song, Freddy talks about how he would do everything again. Even though he ended up dying of AIDS, he would still do everything again. You can see him wasting away in the music video for These Are The Days. The second you see him, you know he's dying but you don't feel sorry for him, you don't pity him because he doesn't. He's not wallowing in self-pity, he's still going. He's still standing, he's not going to stop singing until he freaking croaks.
And that's what he did. He kept going until he was literally about to die.
That's determination.
That's passion.
That's drive.
...
This no longer has anything to do with La La Land... sorry, I got off on a tangent 😂
I miss Freddy Mercury.
Just... look up the song, you'll see what I'm talking about if you even see this comment 😅.


I watched la la land just to watch this video


i just watched it again GUESS WHO I WAS THINKING OF
