WHAT ABOUT THE END?? HMMM?? HMMMM? WHY AREN'T THEY TOGETHER

WHAT ABOUT THE END?? HMMM?? HMMMM? WHY AREN'T THEY TOGETHER

@zester lester Yes they would have been together, but Seb wouldn't have owned the club. Someone else would have his dream.

@zester lester Yes they would have been together, but Seb wouldn't have owned the club. Someone else would have his dream.

Jessi Walker because this movie in every way is sooo true. They just have a metaphorical way to show it. E.g :
bad driver after wining girl,-happen  most men..
dancing in the stars,- when we really fall in love and have that first dance..

Also the transition from the 'what could've been between us' montage to reality just fucking killed me in the worst possible way. Just thought I'd add that..............😭😭

Well I was also upset about the ending but, it's the Hollywood life, if it wasn't for each other's inspiration they wouldn't have made their dreams come true. I know one thing is that they won't forget about each other even if mia is married and who knows what if one day seb finds a girl with the same plan as him, both were married to their dream, so they went a separate way, it shows us that even if we meet someone so inspiring we should be grateful, like Sebastian said "this town worships everything and values nothing" :)

Jessi Walker IKR I WAS LIKE <b>WTF LA LA LAND WHY YOU HURT ME THIS WAY</b> I FELT SO EMPTY AFTERWARDS I LITERALLY WENT AND CRIED IN A CORNER

i liked the ending it gives the film a sense of realism because not everything works out and sometimes you need to make sacrifices to follow your dreams

They either had to pursue their dreams or their relationship but in order to do that they had to give up things and they couldn't pursue their dreams and still be together because they were going down different paths. It's realistic and raw.

thestaceofspade but is that realistic? Is that a shock for an audience who has already witnessed people choosing love over careers or getting love with their dreams? They both found love in their careers. Their lives can't be perfect and finish on this happy happy ending because that's not the way life goes x

that is not necessarily true. She could have done her movie, him get his club and then come back together.

that is not necessarily true. She could have done her movie, him get his club and then come back together.

I feel like it's the idea that you can't have all that you want. Of course they want each other but they want their dreams more and they've worked harder for them. Plus, it's a musical, most musicals never have a happy ending x

ok i have an opinion on this (shocker): obviously, i want mia and seb to end up together SO BADLY. however, i enjoyed the end because it proved that life can go a million different ways and for some reason i felt a sense of closure?? idk, those smiles at the end made me feel all warm and fuzzy and like it ended the way it should have. even though i wish they were together, the ending of the film made me feel like it was correct and i dont know why!!

I think that's because they both chose to pursue their dreams <del>"the spotlight"</del> by the cost of their "once-in-a-lifetime" love.

The end completely broke me, but I understood. My mom and dad met through a show as musicians, unfortunately they are not together, but both successful. I don't think I would have enjoyed the movie as much if they ended up together.

worldofsteve SAME HERE. Like I was honestly speechless.

Jessi Walker THEY WOULDNT HAVE GOTTEN THEIR DREAMS IF THEY WERE TOGETHER <br>IT HAD TO HAPPEN AWWW SO BITTER SWEET

Jessi Walker THEY WOULDNT HAVE GOTTEN THEIR DREAMS IF THEY WERE TOGETHER
IT HAD TO HAPPEN AWWW SO BITTER SWEET

Jessi Walker The same dreams they were helping each other make true were the ones that pushed them further away from each other. i actually think its really beautiful in a tragic way.

I didn't like the ending but they were trying to celebrate the idea of moving on and heart break and how their dreams would not have worked for both of them

but that's exactly it, they gave him such little screen time he was never gonna be that interesting<br>AND it just seemed like they were super rich but not necessarily that in love, ie in the contrasting ways they sat together at the club where with the new dude they were so far apart and she looked so uncomfortable (obv cos seb was there) but u could see the line of lamps between them and then with seb they were all cuddled up and sooooo HApPY

Cath Flem OMG thank you that's exactly how I felt!! it's not just because she's not with Seb it's because this guy seems Sooo not right for her! ya know?? thank you

Cath Flem I don't think we saw enough of him to call him boring.  He was only on screen for a few minutes and he was interesting enough to hear music and be intrigued and to want to go to an underground jazz club.  I think it was intentional that we didn't get to know him at all- but she seemed happy.  And like they had a baby.  I think they want us to believe we know her well enough to know she wouldn't marry and reproduce with someone she wasn't in love with.

the problem i have with the end is that the dude she was with was so bleh and boring like you've made us care about her SO MUCH and then all that the end did was make u want her to be with seb still like if ur gonna do that whole 'it wasn't what u wanted but it was for the best' thing then it should be for the BEST and not just for some boring shmuck/for someone she is clearly LESS in love with then her ex bf

how i see it is that they loved each other so much they let each other go to let each other pursue their dreams. to me that is the biggest sign of support and they knew how much their dreams meant to them

I felt like it was so realistic bc throughout your life you meet so many different people and they affect you in so many ways and you never stop loving them even if you both move in separate directions.

Corinne Marie but they could have been together!! the part at the end where she relived her whole life with him:(( but I guess the movies kinda trying to say that not everything in life goes perfect and you can't have everything work out

+Corinne Marie yes I loved that about the film - it wasn't a fairy tale ending and really posed the dreams vs love question

+Corinne Marie yes I loved that about the film - it wasn't a fairy tale ending and really posed the dreams vs love question

My thoughts: People come and go throughout life, and though we all thought they would be together forever, it didn't work out that way. They were actually "soulmates" though, just of each others dreams. One couldn't have succeeded without the other, and though the ending could be considered "sad", it actually made me smile to think that all those special moments in life really propel you and allow you to ultimately achieve your dreams// desires.

If Mia had achieved her dreams, Seb wouldn't have. The whole epilogue shows that they really had to choose between their passion for art and their love for each other.

just to chime in, I don't think the movie would have been as impactful if they had ended up together in the end. It was so heartbreaking, and it made it really beautiful and as Dodie said, realistic.

ya i totally agree!  i also feel like it highlights the idea that life doesn't always turn out perfectly like it did in old Hollywood movies and life is so much more messy than that.  you can still love someone A LOT but never end up being with them

okay so my interpretation of the ending is that it changes the movie from a story about falling in love with the context of following your dreams to a story about following your dreams with the context of falling in love. They're [love & dream-following] both really important themes of the movie but it switches where the focus lies <br>...if that makes any sense? I'm having a bit of trouble articulating at the moment

...if that makes any sense? I'm having a bit of trouble articulating at the moment

They both made their decisions about choosing their dreams over their love - I mean it showed the outcome if all the decisions they made was just for themselves, and not as sole individuals. It broke my heart that they didn't end up together and Mia already had a family, but had she decided to leave that family, I would be annoyed because it's a love story, but they were both happy already with their decisions so I guess it's all about the reality of life and how their paths were really just meant to cross but never to stay. 😭

I think that the montage of if they got together but was like a classic Hollywood ending, but the real ending we got was more realistic :)

BUT STILL I cry over it ;-;

Because you don't have to be together for the relationship to have been important and life changing when it happened.  Because sometimes love doesn't work out but that doesn't change the power of what you had and the invaluable nature of the support that person gave you when they were a part of your life.

I AM SO EMOTIONAL.

i was expecting that as well but i think the great thing about the end was because it was SO raw. and it's not that you can't have love and career, it's that that's not how it turned out for mia and sebastian. i was heartbroken and i cried. BUT IT WAS STILL PHENOMENAL AND I LOVE IT

sarah yes that is true. I guess I was just expecting this big if you sacrifice your love then in the end there will be this huge romantic come back to me scene or something and I felt disappointed. I felt like I can't have the best of both worlds if I chase my career I guess but I know they were being realistic! I just was really surprised with the ending but I did love the movie!! :))

The point was that they had to be apart to pursue their dreams! I think the nod and smile they give each other at the end shows that. They know they're in love and always will be, but they loved each other enough to know that they couldn't be in love and live their dreams at the same time

it's very realistic. they had a choice: love or dreams. both of them followed their dreams. they basically said "go do you, follow your dreams and we'll see what happens." they both ended up moving on after mia left.


Moonlight dir. Barry Jenkins (2016). That's all.


oh no i really did not like la la land at all. and i absolutely HATED Emma Stone's character, Mia, at the end of the movie. she was so "oh look at me" and seemed really self absorbed. i know she achieved her dream and she should be proud, but it seems she lost herself in the fame, and in what she loved.

Caitlin Naylor it's true, both my parents are actors and I hope to become one too

Also, Emma stone isn't a singer!! Sure she can kind of sing but if you are making a musical, pick someone who can sing really well!! They picked her mostly because she has a name in Hollywood and that's all it takes. Doesn't matter if someone is really talented, they will always pick someone more famous over them because people know who they are

Olivia Grace OMG SOMEONE ELSE WHO UNDERSTANDS ME

oh gosh i didn't like her character either :(

nmiburo oh no i didnt notice AT ALL. ;)))

Olivia Grace In case you didn't notice I was being extremely sarcastic, emphasis on the sarcastic.

nmiburo that's not what i said, and you know it. you just want to twist my words & make me look stupid for having an opinion, try again;)

I think to be successfull as an actor/actress or anyone in the show business you have to have this certain, take care of yourself, put yourself first, 'here I am, look at me' attitude. And I also think she has this attitude in the beginning of the film, too. It's part of her character and therefore I don't think she lost it.<br>I don't critisise your comment, I just realised for myself that it makes me like the film even more for the consistency..

I loved the film and I think all the press it got was well deserved. However, I agree with you about Mia- it was kind of off putting when it showed how different she was. She was dressed very fancy and was clearly living large. You'd think after struggling so much she'd be humble (not to say she wasn't humble) but yeah. I feel like I don't make sense

Self-absorbed! I guess that's what many people think about artists who fulfill their dreams and become successful.

on a different note, i really love dodie' passion and love for a film. i relate to it so much. when i watch a movie i love it my favorite movie, my heart feels like it's going to burst & i just feel like i'm dying ahhh.

i'll probably get attacked for my different opinions, but i just think the film is overrated :/


I haven't seen it but based on trailers and reviews it just seems so meh. Even in this video all the themes dodie is passionate about sound really cliche. If anything this video has further put me off the movie. Maybe partly because even though I fucking adore quite a lot of dodie's work I strongly disagree with her views and principles and I'm put off by the idea that it's her recommending it. I don't know. I love a good musical and I really want the push to see this one


AND OMG I FEEL THE SAME WAY-me my mum and my sister are OBSESSED


The fools who dream.... FUCK IT HIT ME HARD


Ikr I love it so much too but I've only had the time to see it once :(


people are saying that they dont like the ending, because they didnt end up together, but i think that was brilliant, because there wasnt that stereotypical ending of the guy gets the girls, the end. it makes the film so precious


DODIE, CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN THE ENDING TO ME?!?! WHY?!? WHAT?!? HOW?!?!


I'm still confused about the stain on the roof of the apartment?! what did it mean?! I'm so confused?!


I enjoyed it but I didn't love it ...... however it was lovely to see you be so affected by it :)


I've seen it and I'll gladly talk to you about it :P


The outfit is from.... the dinner surprise thing when they argued ? WHERE MY 10POINTS AT


it's one in the morning and I just finished watching it and WOW


Okay, I get it now. I was on cloud 9 when I left the cinema.


Your outfit is from the scene when Mia leaves! AGHH!!!


"i love LA, fell in love in LA but... eh" SORRY CAN WE HEAR A BIT MORE ??!!!!!


I've JUST watched La La Land, so I'm back!!!!!! :D


I forgot how funny the start of this video is


GUYS ITS DECEMBER 7TH ONE YEAR SINCE LA LA LAND CAME OUT AND IM VERY HAPPY OKAY BYE NEED TO GO WATCH THE MOVIEEEE


the same weekend cos we had rented it only for 2 days. GUYS WHATS UR FAVOURITE SONG? (Mines fools who dream or reaching for the heights)


HAHA ha
(i just watched it today ik I'm late)
you see I like the small things, like specific scenes (the ending especially) and the sets and the muSIC
but god the plot is so cliche
just like nothing about it is original at all?


defined me and my relation with la la land


Your voice reminds me of Sophie from Howl's Moving Castle


THE DINNER SCENE WHERE MIA AND SEBASTIAN BREAK UP I'm sorry I love it too my name is Mia AaaaA💕💕💕💕 x

Also at the start when people are dancing on their cars I imagine them doing this every morning and I listen to that song to tell myself "Oh great! It's another day of sun! 😁💕"


Just watched and after crying I'm brain fucked


OKAY SO WE WENT TO THE CRAPPY MOVIE THEATER AND DURING THE LAST LIKE TEN MINUTES THE CAMERA WAS CUTTING OUT AND WE ONLY SAW LIKE A FEW FLASHES OF SCENES THEN IT WAS OVER AND THE THEATER DIDNT PLAY IT AGAIN HSHDJFKFJCK


The first time I saw this was on a date with this guy I've fallen for and we held hands the entire movie and I got all emotional which I don't normally do but I love this movie and then I saw the movie again today with one of my friends and she loved it too! This movie means so much to me. It's such a bittersweet love story and I literally can't love it enough!


Your sensitivity brought tears to my eyes, I jealous at how emotionally capable you are at expressing these emotions, I could just cry watching you depict these.


I love the film. The work on colour is absolutely beautiful, the music is amazing, and...there's just something magical about the way it's made. I have to admit that the ending broke my heart a little bit. But it's such a moving film, and it's brilliant.


No movie has ever made me feel the way la la land does! I listen to the soundtrack on bad days and I'm instantly better! You described it all perfectly dodie and you are not the only one that feels this strongly! :)


I love the usage of colors in this movie, at the beginning everything is everything is very bright, bold, and colorful but it tones down throughout the film, I personally think it shows Mia's character development from this optimistic and bright eyes girl to a more pessimistic person who's kind of lost her way


Everything is so spot on!!  Ugh the love I have for this film and you ah everything is just amazing haha


I watched the movie yesterday!! it is amazing!!. Deserves all the oscars hahaha. I love how they show all types of struggles and...I know the end of the movie may not be what everybody wants, but it's realistic.<br>Thank god for this movie being made

Almost a month later and I finally saw it. I've been dying to come back to this video to see what your views on it were Dodie. I absolutely loved it. <3 Love you too!


I could go on and on about my love for this film it was just such a beautiful piece and I can't stress enough if you haven't seen this please, GO SEE IT.


I love your analysis, it is so much different from mine, and still we love this awesome piece for so different reasons.

In my case I totally connected with the story, the characters their motivations, situations, problems and the whole issue of how hard can be yo achieve your dreams and how sometimes you need to decide between your dreams and your personal life. But in the end you came up with something as beautiful or even better. I love the graphic part, alongside the music, both play a huge role in the storytelling, making the story even more powerful. The critic about Hollywood and how the old is dying because of the obnoxious idealistic "purist" is simply great because you can relate completely from the jazz in the film to the actual musical actual state. I've seen it three times already and I'm not planning on stopping soon. Hahahaha thank you for this video :)
Hugs from Guadalajara, Mexico


I watched it last night and finally got to come back and watch this. I loved the movie, the soundtrack keeps growing on me. I played Another Day of Sun right when I woke up this morning and it put the biggest smile on my face and the music just makes me happy. Thank you dodie for keeping the idea of watching it ever present in my mind, I'm so glad I have


I LOVED this film so much! It was just so beautiful and ahhhhh! I agree with you on so many levels!!!


it was such a beautifully crafted film and like i haven't seen anyone else talking about this but there's this one part in the ending dream montage where everything's happening all at once and then it suddenly cuts to this lone trumpet player playing this beautiful song and it just made me gasp it was so perfect ahh anyone else blown away by this?


I just watched La La Land and it was such a feel-good movie, I loved it so much, and the songs were so beautiful!


I just saw it this weekend, and OH MY GOSH THE ENDING WAS SO GOOD!!! Other people might not like because it's not the traditional ending where everyone gets everything they want, but it was so realistic, and I think it meant that not all dreams are going to come true and SKSODIELFKKFLELDODLSLD I LOVE THIS MOVIE SO MUCH


just watched it. I cried my eyes out from happiness and sadness and just my love for the movie. In my opinion the best movie I've ever seen


The cinematography was refreshing and I liked how we live in a day and age of crazy technology and the capability to do a lot of insane things with that.  The film took a very artistic way to present itself and I fell in love with it.  It was a very cute film and I could definitely watch it again and again.


AHH I saw today with my friends and I was literally screaming inside it was SO GOOD! My god it was so beautiful my life is complete now.


I recently watched the movie in cinema, I loved it and I loved music, cast and pretty much everything :) the movie is also very inpirational and it made me cry


I'm so glad you feel this way bc I have been talking to my friends about this moovie basically 24/7 since I first saw it and I love it so much I'm just listening to the themes over and over and over again and I can't stop ! I cried basically for the entire last hour and I love it so much ! I thougt I was the only one to be THAT crazy about it so thx for making me feel less alone in my madness 😛


i feel 110% like you about this movie. i love it so much and i could rewatch it a thousand times more and never get bored + i really see myself in both mia and sebastian and it feels so good to have such relatable characters


i saw la la land for the first time in the cinema two weeks ago, and since then ive seen it many more times online. and i don't think people understand what i mean when i talk about how important and special it is to me. my friends have seen it and they say they liked it, but they don't understand. they don't get it. they don't feel it in their heart (cheesy) and they don't see the message. they don't see past the characters and catchy songs. when i talk about it, everyone laughs and say it's just a movie, but it's not. it's more than that. it's something really special.


I watched LaLaLand today and the first time I cried was at the end when Mia saw the logo that she made on the bar's wall. Everytime I think about the movie I just want to cry. I was expecting for Mia and Seb to be together so it was really shocking to me. I really really love the movie though.


I listened to your cover and fell in love, next I listened to the whole soundtrack, so then I wanted to go to go see it so bad, AND I DID!! AND THE MUSIC IS SO AMAZING!!!!!!!!


I LOVE LA LA LAND!!!! I saw it twice two nights in a row... I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!! It's amazing. the music. the acting. Will you fan girl about this with me?????? dodie you are the only person who saw it that actually understands!!! I love city of stars so much. and the themes and it all just made me cry I cried both times I saw it omg wow ok thank you bye


The ending: I thought it was amazing how Seb and Mia's love became it's own character... and it lived on... it lives on at that jazz club and it lives on in their minds, as they obviously have never forgotten and said themselves "I'll always love you"... at first I was so sad, I thought they were perfect for each other... the hopeless romantic in me wanted it to be a happy ending. But... I also felt extreme content over the end. If Seb had followed Mia... they wouldn't have accomplished their dreams. They were destined for the greatness, but needed each other to get there.

Also... as a film nerd... the parallels between movie scenes (like Greece and Singing in the Rain) made it feel like you'd seen the movie before. Almost like you were being welcomed home.

The diversity was amazing.... you can't have a jazz movie without diversity... and I think this was very tastefully done in that way.

The chemistry between Mia and Seb was so strong I felt as if I was apart of them, feeling it too... and that can be very hard to do it... normally you feel like you are watching, but I was living it.

Props to Ryan Gosling for learning to play the piano at that caliber in 3 months <3

I can't stop having all these feelings around this movie. It spoke to me on so many levels and it can be seen from so many different angles (romance, musical, out of luck actress meets fame...) the list goes on and on. I would love to talk all day about La La Land... it is the most wonderful piece of art I have ever experienced (film wise at least....)

Finally... THE MUSIC!!!!!!

Please continue to discuss.... this movie is all I can think about <3 <3 <3


I watched La La Land a few days ago and to this day, I cannot keep my mouth shut about it- THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY THAT SOMEONE SHARES THE SAME FEELINGS THAT I DO AAAAAAAAAAAAA


There was so much diversity and there was so many interracial couples and I loved it so much. It was all so casual, they were just there and I was so amazed to see so many people of color rather than just a background of just white characters. Especially because LA is such a diverse city, it does such a good job showing that.


I love when it turns out that Seb has walked Mia to her car with the excuse that his car was parked there as well, but it was parked infront of the party venue. its just so innocent and cute


I've been waiting to watch this video and I finally watched the movie a few hours ago and I'm completely emotionally drained. It's such a good fucking movie and just AHHHHHH. and seb has encouraged me to start getting back into piano I played for an hour or so after I got home 😅

please talk to me about it. my friends weren't as effected as me and I need to talk about it


I just finished watching it I am not kidding I have never seen such an amazing masterpiece I can't believe this is actually something I was able to see how do I deserve to see such a masterpiece I am so emotional rnnn aaah I've been playing the soundtrack for at least 2 hours I can't


Im so in love with this movie, this movies deserves every single awards


I loved la la land so much and my dad got a poster from the cinema for me and I just feel so happy whenever I look at the poster bc it's so aesthetically pleasing. and I just loved the music as well. (especially the epilogue bc everything just comes back into this one big instrumental medley and ahh I love it so much). I'm just very overwhelmed by the whole thing.


Ahhhh, I've been avoiding watching this video, and now I've seen La La Land and can finally watch it!
I left the cinema with so so many thoughts about how brilliant this film was. Don't even know where to start..
The cinematography - omg. What flawless choreography of actors and camera crew, there were so many long seamless shots, the camera intertwining with the movements of the actors and the sets, super impressed!
I really liked how the film seemed to fit into a lot of different eras all at the same time, you almost can't place when it is set. The font of the titles is very art deco, 1920s, the costumes seem like something out of the 50s (I especially loved the reference to Audrey Hepburn in Funny Face when Mia is stood in front of the Arc De Triomphe holding a bunch of balloons), that hillarious 'I Ran' sequence was a great nod to the '80s, and obviously the technology is all modern.. but at the end of the day, it doesn't matter, does it? The themes in this film are so timeless and so relatable - the struggling artist, the love story, trying, failing, succeeding.. and then wondering "what if?"
The part that really got me though, was the very last number, where their memories of the "good old days" together came flooding in, in a rose-tinted, nostalgic and hyper-romanticised fashion, leading into an alternative life together, that could have been. I can't even begin to explain how this resonated with me, and Dodie, if you're reading this, I'm sure you understand. You often talk about how nostalgic you are about the past, I feel like a lot of us romanticise our childhoods, our past relationships, constantly thinking how much better everything was "back when.."  And when something triggers those memories in our hearts, we don't stop to think "wait, actually that was pretty average" or "I was really struggling to make ends meet" etc.
I dunno, I'm babbling, but at least to me, that scene was just perfect. Such an amazing reflection of the thought process of that exact moment in time when your memories come flooding in, and you start fantasising and "what if"ing and in the end... you get back to reality, stand up, and leave.
Loved that smile at the end.
Okay that's it, I'm done. Just needed to say some stuff about this great film :D


I just watched it last night... And I just turned to my parents at the end, tears rolling down my face and said, "This movie got me." It seriously understood the struggles of being a dreamer better than any movie, tv show, or book. Even though I've never experienced the things Seb and Mia went through I could relate to every second. The theme that really stood out to me was making dreams and reality work together as an artist. At the end, they both accomplished their dreams, but that beautiful sparkling dream-life Mia had fell short because life is messy. But the best thing is that it never shamed Mia or Seb for having those dreams, it just showed how much more beautiful a life can be if you find purpose in dreams but know they won't always work out. This movie.... It's not going to leave me easily... <br>Plus the amazing MUSIC and DANCING and ACTING and shameless magical quality of the entire thing. Mandy Moore is a genius, Ryan and Emma were incredible, Justin Hurwitz should win all the Oscars. This movie was, in my opinion, an absolute piece of art.

I agree with everything you said, I'm so obsessed with it. That song is just beautiful and overall like you said…the film is art.


I didn't like the movie. but I'm so glad she gets so happy over this movie!! props to you girlie!! ❤❤


In regards to the opening song: I loved how it set up the movie so perfectly. You knew exactly what the movie was going to be as soon as you heard the first song: and, if you listen carefully to the lyrics, it actually lays out the whole plot of the film. So brilliant!

It is such a powerful film; I already want to see it again and again! It has definitely inspired me to keep pursuing what I love.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Dodie! It's always so fun to know that you weren't the only one impacted by something so beautiful. :)


just watched it yesterday and started crying, something I normally never do. despite the amazing cinematic aspects the story itself touched me the most and reminded me of my relationship I ended a few months ago. The flashback got me the most because it showed how beautiful it could have been if something didn't go as it did, exactly what I experienced with my relationship. Best wishes for the actors and filmmakers for the Oscars!


La La Land was such a beautiful movie!! the ending so beautiful and sad and happy! and it reminded me of all the classics I grew up watching ^^ the movie was just so pretty and we'll done, the soundtrack and score are gorgeous.. I can listen to it all over and over again :)


AAAAAAHHHHH I LOVED THIS MOVIE SO MUCH!!!!!! such beautiful music, literally listened to the soundtrack all day


i am so in love with la la land. the planetarium scene was so beautiful


I cried so much at the end when he smiles at her as she leaves his club!!! 😭😭 my heart couldn't handle it!


When I saw it I became so emotional and I thought you would relate because I also get emotional about change and time passing. Didn't the ending just devastate you? The way they drift apart is so real and maybe its for the best but it still hurt. And seeing what could have been was just so painful, too. It was like when I regret a decision or think about this whole other life I could have had but didn't.


I went to see it yesterday, and even though I liked it and I thought there were several beautiful moments (like the ending, that was honestly gorgeous), I do believe it's kind of overrated and that I would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't set my expectations so high. The music was really really good, but I wished there had been more songs (idk, I just felt like there was something missing). The story wasn't the greatest thing ever, as I felt it was a little cliche and that they could have explored some of the themes more (struggles of being an artist, for example) and developed Mia's character and her acting career better. The directing and filming was beautiful, and the dancing scenes were really stunning. But still, I felt like it could have been better, and I was a little let down by some of its aspects


I just finished watching. The tears just won't stop flowing. It was incredibly heartbreaking and now I don't know how to cope.


I have waited so long to see La La Land. And I saw this today and I LOVED IT SO MUCH!!!


I feel this spiritually tbh I've seen it twice in one week and I cried both times


Watched this before I went to see La La Land and now I'm actually obsessed! 💙💛❤💚


I waited to see the movie and came back and oh my goodness. I am in love with it, I cried so much and laughed and felt the love through the screen and AH I wanna see it again. Also "The Fools Who Dream" whfnSNDJSNEK i died. I started crying so bad. I love it. I love it SO MUCH. Thanks for talking so much about the movie. AH.


I couldn't stop crying  during and after watching this film. I also loved it so much!


THIS MOVIE IS INCREDIBLE !!<br>I just... I fell in love with it, so I can relate so much

THIS MOVIE IS INCREDIBLE !!
I just... I fell in love with it, so I can relate so much


IM SO HAPPY THIS FILM WAS MADE it's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen and I'm so happy you're talking about it! It's so relatable to artists and is so raw and real, but it's also flashy and kind of superficial like you said like those old musicals from the 40s. It's the epitome of a movie for dreamers. The cinematography is gorgeous and the music is the best music I've ever heard from a film and maybe outside of films. I totally understand how you felt after seeing it and listening to the soundtrack at home, it's like your heart is overflowing with love that its pouring out of your eyes in the form of tears. Also, it might just be me but I walked out of the theatre tap dancing and singing.


I saw the movie and it was absolutely amazing no word can describe that peace of art


so I just watched la la land and immediately came to this video and i was smiling the whole film and same with this video because each scene you bring up im like "YES ME TOO I LOVE THAT SCENE".

also just read your little thingy bio thing and i love the inspiration from singing in the rain too because i grew up watching that film with my dad like every week and seeing a modernize sort of twist on it made me so happy and im just BLEH I LOVED THIS FILM


i watched the movie today and it was amazinggg! i didnt cry because i was so consumed in it that i didnt pay attention to what was happening but oh mY gOSH IT WAS AMAZING


I've been annoying all of my friends and my girlfriend fangirling all over lala land and talking about how the cinematography is so so so amazing and ahhhh! I love it so much!


I watched the movie last night and the complicated feeling it left me is still lasting
I think the reason im feeling so strange is that i watched way too much disney lol so this kind of realistic ending kinda stunned me and upsetted me at the same time.
I thought I would only fall in love with the singing and dancing, but no, I love everything in the movie music dancing lighting the plot how they film it etc. Also its amazing that sometimes you dont know whats going on untill you keep on watching.
Ughhhh I need to watch it again.


At a certain point of the movie, when they separate, your song 'sick of losing soulmates' crossed my mind so I went straight to your channel and saw this video…love youHope the la la land inspiration will make your creative soul explode💓


I just got out the cinema from watching it and i wasn't as effected as you but i did love it. i almost cried at the last scene, i really should've, but i didn't. i wouldn't mind watching it more


My friend and I stayed up till like 1 in the morning texting about how much we loved the film. Sooooo good. I love it so much.


I watched it yesterday and I think the hype ended up making the whole thing underwhelming. The weird thing is I basically knew the whole plot and became obsessed with the soundtrack before seeing the film so there was nothing there to surprise me, but I guess that's my own fault. I really liked it (also I'm genetically wired to grin like an idiot whenever I see Ryan Gosling do anything at all) but I had a few issues with the plot and some things that happen that were just a bit stupid but they're the sort of things that make sense depending on what interpretation of the film you believe in. As far as people calling it "the best thing they've ever seen" and "life-changing", I don't share the same sentiment but it was a great film overall.


love this video so much
My favourite bit of the film is when she wrote her own play.
I was in the garden listening to my playlist and city of stars (ur cover) came on and I flipped idk why but I just bust into tears cause I love the lyrics so much
UGGHHHHH please everyone comment ur favourite bits cause I need to meet la la land fans


What I got from the ending (mainly, the glance of understanding between the two), is this: even though they could not be together, they are happy that the other has fulfilled his or her dream. That is love.
To elaborate, this movie stands out from other American romantic stories today. The reason is that here love is not equated to sex. If you notice, their sexual relationship is
given hardly any importance. In today's movies, when two people realize they are
in love, it is depicted by immediately having them jump into bed. And the more passionate their physical relationship, the more they are supposed to be in love. (Can you think of any movie of the recent past giving the touching of the hands so much importance?)

Today, love is perceived as having good sex together, while this movie shows love as caring for each other without expecting anything in return.


yea I loved it too. very rare I stay until the end of the credits but this time I did - whilst turning on my phone and ordering the soundtrack online... a bit random - but I just loved the little pause and nod to the audience before opening up the back of the lorry to reveal a band... but the whole thing really was just exquisite... definitely one that is heading for Broadway or the west end


I finally got to see it yesterday, and I could not stop thinking about you and applying it to your life. I've been waiting to watch this video since it came out because I needed to see the movie first!


I just love City Of Stars it just gives me life but sadness at the same time.


Oh god, when I saw this the second they showed like the name of the season I started crying because I knew it was all gonna fall apart after summer, and then I happy cried at fall cause it was a beautiful falling out, and then I cried some more when it showed how things could of been.. AH I cried so so so much I hate this movie but I love it so much ah 😶😭❤


Watched the start of this video, paused it, went to watch the film, came back to watch the end of this video 😂😜 SUCH A GOOD FILM! 😍😊💓


If you became this emotional over la la land, you've obviously haven't watched anime yet - spirited away, angel beats, clannad and many more made me bawl my eyes out.


Yay I can finally watch your video! I hate spoilers haha. I liked the film, it was very beautiful but I didn't connect to it as much as for instance About Time! That's one of my favourite romantic films. <3 La La Land makes it into the top five though :)


I went, I saw it, I came back to this video and OH MY FRICKIN GOD I don't think I've ever been so utterly besotted with a film before


When she has dinner with Sebastian during his tour! The outfit that is. Best film of the year, loved it! Have to catch it again at the theaters soon!!


So glad someone else shares my love 😍 for this film


I want to cry. I just watched it and I felt so happy and inspired and everything ALL AT ONCE and I have no idea what to do now


I love this movie, I so want to talk about it all night with you and I love the faces you make when you're passionate


I also LOVED LA LA LAND sooooo sooooo much! The music, the colors, the story, EVERYTHING!!!!!! AAGGGHHHH! Everything about this film is amazing! But. The ending. I wanted Mia and Seb to last forever. I remember watching her walk into her home after she went to the coffee shop, and she kisses her husband. I thought "oh she is probably just filming a movie now that she is famous" and then I see her daughter. My heart just....SINKS. And how Mia and her husband go out to eat, and they go to SEB'S. I was like OMG! And she sees Seb and he plays the song. Their song. And there where just these wonderful clips like saying "what if this happened instead of this" they would still be together. I love they smile at each other like if Mia was saying "i am so proud of you" and Seb giving a "thank you" smile. The movie was amazing!


I finally got to watch lala land yesterday and I loved it and now I get to watch this video finally!


I just want the beginning on a loop <3 Omagosh it sounds so good!


Just saw the film tonight, and sdfjklnv (I have no words)! Also, I totally know what you mean about a swelling in your lungs when you love something so much! It's a relief to hear I'm not the only one who experiences that. :)


OH MY GOODNESS I JUST FINISHED WATCHING THIS FILM IT WAS AMAZINNNNGGGGG


The stuff at the beginning was fun.  I wish the first traffic jam singing dancing gal had had a part in the main story.
Minor point here.  The leads did a great job, so this is not a knock on them, but for me, it might have been more fun if unknowns, or not-as-known Broadway types had played the struggling artists, who eventually make it big, especially the actress character.  When Mia walks back into the coffee shop at the end, and now literally towers over everyone there because of fame and footwear, it's kind of like art and real life imitating each other.
On their not ending up together, she could do a lot worse than "Guy Patterson" from "That Thing You Do".  He seemed pretty cool with her rather pensive mood at the end of Seb's piano solo.
Generally it was a lot of fun, very reminiscent of the old movie musicals, and I liked the repeated music cues.


Best movie of all time!  I'm bias because musicals are my favorite anyway, but this movie/musical is definitely my all time fav


yesssss i love la la land sooooo much and i thoght about you every time i watch it, and i was inspired just like you!!! im also an artist (not as good as you) and i love it so much and i will watch again and again until... until forever!!! it's one of the best movies i'v ever seen and one of the best musical movie i'v ever listen to. <br>(and i ship you and john and this movie is sooo dodie and your cover with john is even more jodie so i'm feeling like a huge balloon of love!!!)

I won't love it as much as you do but I've never seen anything like la la land, it's amazing.


i Love la la land so much that i know every song by heart and i can't get over with this movie and i doubt i can move on .


JUST CAME BACK TO THIS AFTER WATCHING. so i sobbed? like ACTUALLY sobbed, and i never cry at movies. this movie makes you feel personally addressed, it's so magical. I LOVE la la land


I looooooooooveeeewew it so much tooo but me before you is by faaar my fave I've watched it 7 times and I cryyyy every time! I think I just love Lou's outfits and personality anyywaayyy... this is one of the best films I've ever watched I can so relate to you rn like the soundtrack gets me hard 😂


This is from someone’s post about the film： Someone in your life transforms you and sets you onto a path that is going finally enable you to be the person you always dreamed of being. But ultimately, you need to go on that path alone.


I've just seen it and UGH. so painfully beautiful in every way.
It's not like the story was original or anything, but it was so well told, the music meshed with the movie visually in the most amazing wayyyy and UGH. My new favorite movie. <3
Seriously transporting and moving.


I can finally watch this without feeling like I'm spoiling it for myself!!! YAY!!! I=


i saw it yesterday and words cannot describe how much i loved this movie. it was so beautiful and they were so beautiful and i dont think that i will ever experience something so good in my life. i walked out of that theater not knowing what to do, i felt every emotion that anyone can ever feel at that very moment, and it was unrealistic. i was crying my eyes out because it was so beautiful and the way they just let each other go after being there for each other and helping one another achieve their dreams, is simply amazing.
i love this movie.
i love them.
i don't think i'll ever forget this movie and im so in love.


La La Land is my favorite movie ever and I listen to the music 24/7 it's amazing


I know I'm a bit late to the party, but I just watched La La Land for the first time and oh lord it was beautiful. I wanted to watch it mainly because I wanted to know if it would move me as much as it moved Dodie, and it did! At about halfway through, I realized how beautiful the movie was: the colors, the dances, the music, the plot. I started crying tears of joy when they showed the scenarios that would've happened if Mia and Seb's relationship had been different and just kept crying until the credits ended. I think it broke my heart to see that in the end Mia and Seb don't end up together, despite still loving each other, but still achieve their goals/dreams and are happy. This was the first movie to have made me cry tears of joy and that says something.


i saw the movie just so i could come back and watch this and all i have to say is thank you.


I'm really wanting to see it again because I think I will understand it more the second time? I absolutely loved it and I related to Mia's character so much (I'm an aspiring Actress, it's bloody hard) so got quite emotional when she's telling Sebastian that she's not good enough, I can't count on my hands how many times I've said that... but the ending just didn't do it for me? I had the most confused look on my face throughout the entire end montage and when it finished I was just like I expected more? I think I just found it mega confusing but my boyfriend loved it. I definitely need to see it again I love the songs and I don't think I've ever related to a character like this before ❤


i started crying at some point during this film and I didn't even know why.... i just felt a swelling in my chest and it made me cry


I saw this video a few days ago, and at that point i had not seen the movie, and i saw it was getting a lot of internet buzz which is what encouraged me to watch it. Its the most beautiful film I've ever seen. It was like i was hypnotised into the story line, its almost as if i was going through Mia's and Seb's journey with them, and it made me so happy to see that in the end they achieved their dreams, but without each other. The main message i got from this film was that it is possible to make your own path and to follow your dreams, by yourself. In the last scene i couldn't hold it together when they glanced at each other and smiled to see that they had both achieved what they had always wanted.


I FINALLY WATCHED LA LA LAND AND IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL AND I WATCHED IT TWICE IN ONE SITTING (which probs isn't healthy) BUT SUSBDONWJXISNSODBSN IT WAS AMAZING OMG


I think the ending was sad because it seemed like that's how Sebastian wished the relationship could have turned out, It seemed like he wanted to sacrifices his dreams to be with her


i have been listening to the sound track for about a month now and i will never get sick of it


Have you ever thought about that Mia's friends might be her subconscious?


I HAVE BEEN WAITING TO WATCH THIS VIDEO FOR THE LONGEST TIME la la land was soooo aesthecially pleasing


Please just never stop talking about things that you love.


So I know this is quite late but I didn't want to watch this until I'd seen the film and it has been crazily popular. Dodie, I get you. I don't think I've ever found a film that is so wonderful in so many ways. I loved the songs, the story line, the characters and all of that, but also things like the camera shots, the layout and how the film switched perspectives, how it cuts and jumps but the perfect amount so it doesn't make it confusing. I liked that it wasn't predictable and the ending was truly exquisite, I was really expecting it to be cliché but it wasn't, and although it was sad (and I bawled of course) it was ultimately happy because they'd both achieved their dreams and they were happy for each other. Because of you expressing your love for it, I had expectations for the film, but when I watched the trailer I thought it looked really cheesy and I probably wouldn't like it, however I think it has the perfect balance of singy/dancy musical numbers and it is not overdone, which makes it a perfect film for both musical theatre lovers AND film lovers. It honestly appeals to everyone, and don't worry, her audition song made me bawl too. As an aspiring actress and someone who suffers from stress, that song really, really gets me. A truly stunning film and I could watch it again every day 💕


your quite genuine about your feelings and that is wonderful.


The one thing I didn't like was the tap scene with the bench because there was so much emphasis put on Mia putting on tap shoes but no real tapping happened. They had a perfect opportunity but the wasted it. Other than that it was beautiful. I absolutely loved it.


I watched it last night at 2am and I'm probably gonna watch it again 3 more times today


I really liked it but I don't think I can ever watch it again, I'm a struggling actor and my ex boyfriend is a talented musician who likes jazz and it's like us so completely I can't stop crying when I think about it. It's too much.


I JUST WATCHED IT FOR THE FIRST TIME AND AS SOON AS IT WAS DONE I RAN TO MY PHONE TO WATCH THIS VIDEO and honestly all i can say is SAME. i just agree so much with this video i just agshahahd


ITS SO GOOD BUT the ending broke my heart more than the election


I thoroughly enjoyed La La Land, it's stunningly shot and the lighting design is incredible. In terms of a camera lens writing a love letter to a city, this is probably the first film to knock Nightcrawler's opening montage off it's pedestal (interesting they're both set in LA).<br>I did find the observatory dance in particular a bit ridiculous and out of place compared to the more "realist" nature of the musical numbers in the film as a whole – barring of course the Sliding Doors-esque dream sequence at the end, which is a wonderful bittersweet payoff for the audience.

I've seen it three times haha love it I can't explain it


i just came back from the movie theatre. i really need to talk to someone. dodie, are you answering or maybe just reading emails from fans? my heart just exploded and I can't calm myself.

it was just so intense<br>I don't know what to do

it was just so intense
I don't know what to do


i got back from seeing la la land for the first time like an hour ago and i'm still crying???


I got Beauty and the beast as my ad for this and im so happy rn. I kinda wish brendon urie sang beauty and the beast tho maybe I'm just way too obsessed with him but I think his voice would be perfet for it


HI I FINISHED THE MOVIE HALF AN HOUR AGO AND CAME HERE AS SOON AS I COULD CAUSE OMG LA LA LAND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY HEART


9:30 yes omg that lung swelling thing like when that happens i always feel like my bra is too tight and holding me back and i get an urge to throw it away  bc idk its holding me and my feelings back??? do you know what i mean?

also i just  saw the film and OMG THE FEELS and that end scene just killed me and of course the music was so perfect everything about it really. but yeah im still crushed that smile they gave each other at the very end was one of the deepest things ever created ok?


I WAITED A MONTH TO WATCH THE MOVIE AND I FINALLY WATCHED IT AND THE FIRST THING I AM DOING NOW THAT I HAVE GOTTEN HOME FROM THE THEATRE IS TO WATCH THIS VIDEO ASDFGHJKL


I didn't love it but I didn't think it was bad... my mom is totally in love with the film though...


finally saw it.<br>it was breathtaking 😍❤


SPOILER ALERT!
DO NOT READ ON IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN LA LA LAND YET!!!

OMG I CRIED SO HARD, I WATCHED IT YESTERDAY AND THE VERY LAST SCENE WHEN SEB NOTICES MIA AND YOU HEAR THE FIRST FEW NOTES OF "CITY OF STARS" I JUST STARTED BAWLING LIKE "I CAN'T HANDLE ANY MORE NOTES PLEASE STOP PLAYING!" JUST AAAHH I LOVE THIS FILM SO MUCH!


I'm a man and I cried for Titanic and The Notebook... BUT this god damn movie made me weep like i lost a part of my soul


The song I think made you feel that ways is..... Mia and Sebastian's theme in the soundtrack


I loved it but I wasn't sure on the ending? The actual ending where they didn't end up together I loved even though it broke my heart! But the montage where they replace her husband with Seb in her life after she leaves I didn't really get?


I enjoyed it at the beginning and all that, but I didn't truly enjoy it until the climax.. the argument broke me and then when Seb honks loudly near her house and she tells her all the problems, and he just tells her she's just being a baby, it got me. and I cried at the final audition improv scene.. that song is sooo beautiful.. at then end I had my knees close to my face and hands in my hair and I was internally balling.. nothing was coming out of eyes but I like felt something inside.. I also forgot to breathe when they played the alternate ending... it was a lot ig XD.. maybe I'm just crazy lol


I just saw it and came back to this video :) <br>loved it loved it loved it

I just saw it and came back to this video :)
loved it loved it loved it


That movie was overall gorgeous, the visuals and musical numbers will never fail to make me cry my damn eyes out, and it was so good.<br>The ending caught me completely off guard and it was so bitter yet so sweet at the same time, but it really portrays the idea of loving and losing, as well as gaining knowledge and experience from the times you share with another person that you may not be able to share anymore. It was heart wrenchingly lovely, and though some parts of me desperately screamed at the married Mia to run up to Sebastian and kiss him until they couldn't breathe during the scene at Seb's, I know that it was real. It was real, it was painful, and it was oh so wonderful. Not to mention the fact that the little "flashback" to what life would've been if they stayed together was COMPLETELY necessary to make me bawl my eyes out.

I never want to stop talking about this movie. Ever. I am on your level.


ngl i dont rlly get the appeal??? the music was absolutely beautiful and i loved the cinematography, but the story of 'girl and boy have dreams, girl and boy meet, girl and boy fall in love, girl and boy achieve dreams' has been done countless times before, the characters were bland af and Seb was a right dick at parts, and the ending wasnt that shocking to me because we saw them together for like 6 months lol. its definitely going to win all the oscars though. i mean, its a movie by people in hollywood for people in hollywood about people in hollywood and, as we all know, hollywood is obsessed with itself :// with everyone calling it a 'masterpiece', i feel like i'm kind of missing something,,,, does anyone else feel the same??


I think that Mia was on her right path and lost her way after Paris -- when she comes back to LA, Seb has opened his Jazz Club and even though they only just break even, he said he was happy still, whereas Mia returns to be not the one who went a different way, but someone who's one of many (shown in the scene where she goes back into the coffee shop where she used to work and acts just as arrogant as the actresses she used to serve). Also she seemed to have forgotten how difficult her time in LA was before she went to Paris (that scene in the Jazz Club when she hears Seb play and everything comes back to her but seems perfect in her memory - which is absolutely brilliant, I think, because that's EXACTLY what your memory does to you!). I'm not saying all this because I didn't like the film, I LOVED it! I just like to believe that it's a littler deeper than the obvious story. As in, maybe creating your own stuff is a lot braver than being mainstream. Maybe Seb is the actual hero for leaving that super successful band and starting his own Jazz Club. Maybe Mia gave up her actual dream (acting, yes, but also being a playwright and working "Off Broadway") in order to be one of the "stars". I'm an actress myself and I know that struggle really well. "La La Land" taught me that it's important to be down to earth. To follow your dreams. Not to take the easy way. To be brave. To me, it was almost a caricature of the business: just look at the opening scene! Everyone wants the same thing. Fame. A bit superficial, don't you think? Thoughts?


Happy that I can watch this now that I've watched la la land


I JUST GOT BACK FROM SEEING IT AND NOW I CAN FINALLY SEE THIS ALL THE WAY THROUGH


Not that I didn't wanna do all this before, but now the film makes me want to do these things:
Go to a dive bar that you have to go down stairs to see and people smoke and no one cares because the jazz is worth it,
I wanna go to an old cinema where they have the name of the movie in big Hollywood lights and red velvet seats and it's brimming with people who share your passion for literature,
I wanna wear a bright yellow swing dress and wing tips and dance beneath a street light and dance in an auditorium and just AAAAAAAAAAAA

I swear I cried at least 5 times during the film. Emma Stone is ❤ as is Ryan Gosling.

THIS FILM IS BEAUTIFUL AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLE DON'T GET THE ENDING. THEY BOTH GOT THEIR DREAMS AND I JUST LOVED IT. CAN I SCREAM LOUDER THAN CAPS BECAUSE A!A!A! (Did that work?)


i  was like the first example when I heard the soundtrack the best part was the audition i kind of broke on that part


I JUST LA LA LAND AND IT HAS LITERALLY CHANGED MY LIFE


I LIVED IT SM I'VE SEEN IT 4 TIMES I'M SEEING IT AGAIN SOON


the movie was made in so many ways honoring the classy ones...so why, for God's sake, can't there be a happy ending just like the old day movies? <b>sobbing</b>

Okay, but lets talk about how characters presenting an opportunity are wearing yellow-- John Legend wears yellow when Seb signs with him the first time; Mia wears yellow during What A Waste of A Lovely Night (I think) which is the ignition for their to-be romance; later on it's either John Legend or some other guy wearing yellow when he signs on Seb; the women who hosts the audition that sends Mia to Paris is also wearing yellow-- it's just too brilliant! Also, how fantastic is that red & white striped couch in Mia's home? Ahhh, there's just too much to say. As a fellow aspiring musician/actress-among other things- who has also been devastatingly in love and had to quit loves addiction due to each of us pursuing our education/careers, I get it. There's a solace that accompanies experiencing a work of art such as La La Land that can embody the potency of love and remind all of us that while our lives continue picking up speed and evolving after having experienced a relationship, those events remain preserved not only in our hearts, but in films like this, too.

Omg I love it too❤❤❤❤ I've seen it 6 times


I just saw it and immediately rewatched this video!


i cried for 30 minutes after the movie ended...


i saw it twice in two days and will definitely go back to watch it again , and maybe again and.............


i couldn't make it through the whole video because i needed to go listen to the soundtrack again after 3 minutes in sorry dodie


Is the outfit the one just before seb comes back from tour for a day?😊😊


I SAW LA LA LAND YESTERDAY AND FUCKING CRIED LIKE ALL THE TIME???!?!? I FOUND MYSELF GETTING GOOSEBUMPS ANYTIME THEY SANG BC HOW COULD YOU NOT? I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY, I CAME OUT OF THE CINEMA AND IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY BFF SCREAMING TO HER BC SHE HAD TOLD ME BEFORE THAT THE MOVIE "WAS OK" AND I WAS THERE LIKE A FREAKING MESS AND I WANT TO WATCH IT AGAIN, I NEED HELP


It should be noted that there is a difference between film musical and broadway musical. the styles of the voices of the actors are always going to be very different and theres this major criticism that emma stones and ryan goslings voices are not that good and dont deserve the oscars theyre nominated for BUT the thing is that film musicals are more about characterisation rather than singing with the perfect voice. emma stones and ryan goslings voices were not stand out or unbelievably amazing but they were perfect for their roles.


this movie is too perfect. i can't function


OMG YES CANT STOP LISTENING TO THEMUSICS ITS AMAZING


what happened to greg though... where did he go? did mia dump him? was he crying somewhere in a corner? I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO GREG


OH MY GOD! Someone who understanme!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤


please please pLEASE DO A COVER OF 'FOOLS WHO DREAM' PLEASE


what would it matter if it wasn't a feminist film, whatever the hell that is? Loved it for what it is,  not what it isnt


Does anyone know the name of the first male singer in Another Day of Sun? Because his voice was so beautiful.


What era was la la land supposed to be? I initially thought it was set in the 60s but there are elements of today, like her iPhone and YouTube


DODIE ARGH I WANNA RIP MY HAIR OUT BECAUSE SOMEONE SPOILED IT FOR ME BEFORE I GOT TO SEE IT SO WHEN I FINALLY WATCHED IT I DIDNT GET TO ENJOY (and by enjoy i mean get completely lost in my emotions) THE ENDING AS MUCH AS I COULDVE AND THAT HAS BOTHERED ME SO MUCH BECAUSE I AM HEAD OVER HEELS FOR THIS MOVIE


this isn't meant so sound mean in any way but i feel like the only one who genuinely didn't like it as much as i thought i would. I mean it wasn't bad at all but the whole story and how the characters developed somehow just didn't grow on me. The cinematography and everything was great but i just couldn't get myself to like the whole movie for some reason. Maybe it's because i'm not that much of a musical fan anyway but i was hoping this would be something different, something that would actually make me emotional and think about life. (btw, i'm very, like VERY sensitive and cry about almost anything even remotely sad in movies but for some reason, i've not shed a tear while watching la la land.) there really must be something wrong with me, considering about 95% of the people who watched it have absolutely fallen in love with it. But it's each to their own, i guess.


I just... didn't get it. And I wish I did, but the ending just ruined it for me. I've heard why it was wonderful many times, but I just don't get it.


THAT IS MY REACTION THOUGH. I REALTE TO YOUUUUUU


i loved it so much but i couldn't stop crying at the end because there was the alternate ending and it wasn't real and i wish it was and ughhhhhhjkdfgujge


FAM I SAW LA LA LAND LIKE 2 DAYS AGO AND I CANT STOP LISTENING TO THE THE LA LA LAND SOUNDTRACK UHGHGHHGHHGHGJGHHGGHHGHHGHG , but yeah when he plays their song at the end when she goes to Seb's , oml fam i still cry thinking about it..


watching lala land and your outfit was the scene that came on


You need to sing all the songgsss pleaseeee


lmao my friend just saw it now she hates me for doing this to her


MASSIVE SPOILER ALERT

I do not understand why mia and seb didn't end up together. I don't get it. Why would mia choose someone else instead of being with seb, the person she really loves? They could have worked it out. I don't see why they didn't.
It just broke my heart


I think about seeing this movie I listend to another day of sun for 10 hours non stop  lalaland<br>and lala the teletubby to see the fim

I think about seeing this movie I listend to another day of sun for 10 hours non stop  lalaland
and lala the teletubby to see the fim


am i the only one who absolutely hated the movie? i mean, i like their sense of humor (like when Sebastian played jingle bells at the restaurant), but the whole time i was like STOP SINGING AND DANCING AND GET TO THE POINT XD


you can hear tessa doing the dishes like at 5:30


Must watch hachiko a dog's story very very emotional


jordan and damien probably watched this !!


Sing Street > La La Land (jk, obviously La La Land's better on a technical standpoint but, something about Sing Street just resonated better)

Moulin Rouge > Sing Street (now that's a more debatable one both are beautiful af)


moonlight won, la la land stans are shook


oK IM SORRY THE OPENING NUMBER DIDNT BLOW YOU AWAY??? DID YOU SEE THAT THEY DID THE ENTIRE THING IN ONE SHOT AND IT ENDED WITH HER GIVING HIM THE FINGER??? DID YOU SEE THE DIFFERENT TALENTS??? SINGERS, DANCERS, BIKERS, PARKOUR PEOPLE... WHAT?!


the movie confused my heart .............in a good way


you should watch more bollywood movies if you think la la land is awesome


Oh my gosh. The themes were wonderful! I just loved the music and the film and the acting and oh my god the Conservatory scene! It was so beautiful! Everything was so amazing! Ahhh I was literally crying so much by the end. And I really wish they had ended up together because it was just so-ahhh! My friend compared it as a Hollywood movie without a Hollywood ending, and I really like that!

And like, I will talk about this movie forever with you Dodie of you actually notice me and reply 😂


I just went to see La La Land last night and I'm in love. It's so gorgeous, I just, I feel you. I cried because of how pretty it was- the <b>emotions</b>, and the acting, and the music, and the cinematography, and the scene in the planetarium. I was crying and breathing heavily at every second, it was perfect.

Just saw it... It is so beautiful and moving! I cried so much. It is such an amazing piece of art! I want to just constantly watch it 😭❤


This is literally my favorite movie. Nothing can ever top it. The picture, the cinematography, everything it entails is just perfect and real and deep.


It's so good to know that other people were as affected as I was after seeing this movie. I honestly feel like it changed me, like I feel different and I have a different outlook on life now! I'm so glad it was made


LOVE LOVE LOVE this absolutely perfect movie!!! I share your feelings exactly! I can talk about it for days lol and watch it over and over again 💙


Just saw it... this is the most I've ever cried ITS SO BEAUTIFUL


Thaaaaaaank you so much for your thoughtful and lovely review! I really felt the same way, but all of my feelings were bundled up inside and you managed to organize and help put a voice to what I couldn't describe in words. Thank you thank you thank youuuu!

I thought the film was like a beautiful blend of Whiplash and Black Swan sprinkled with lots of love T^T


Oh my goodness, I have been waiting for someone as enthusiastic as me to talk about the movie to!! I love everything about it, I have watched it non stop and know everything (including the dances) off by heart. It is literally my favourite movie, I have so much appreciation and respect for everyone who was involved in creating the film. To go out on a limb and put money into an origional musical is the riskiest move, and this was so worth it!!


I've never seen your videos before. I must say that's it is so refreshing to see your enthusiasm for this film. The way you expressed the various ways it made you feel were so relatable. I'm happy to be reminded that there are still people out there that feel things as deeply as I do. Thank you for your positivity. :)


Fools Who Dream is my new favorite song, and I love trying to find find out all the deeper meaning
 I totally get why Mia gave up for a bit because ACTING IS SO HARD. Because I do drama, it makes me loves how she writes her own play and gets her acting dream by herself so much better!!
  The cinematography was GREAT
I can't play the piano, but I might try to learn Sebastian's pieces, because they're freaking GORGEOUS

I can't think of anything else anymore, but someone please talk to me about La La Land because i really want to discuss it! <3


My most favourite scene is Mia’s audition. That scene was beautiful and raw with emotion, it made my eyes watered. I just love the music, it had exposed me to music that I am not familiar with. I love this film💓


Dear Dodie, I waited until just now to watch this very video of yours. I've just come home from watching this beautiful piece of art for the first time and watching you say those things made me even more happy than the movie already did. You put my thoughts and emotions into words. Thank you!!!


I loved this movie so much. I saw it for my birthday, after choosing between three other movies and I have not regretted my choice in any way whatsoever. My favourite song is City of Stars and I swear, I felt like staying in that room to just watch again and again.


I feel you Dods, I did cry because of how beautiful it was. I finally watched it yesterday and I am still melancolic about it. I am an aspiring musical theatre actress (that sounded so professional i'm like 16) and this hit me so hard. It related to all of my favorite movies and musicals from old hollywood, it discussed LA, the city that metaphorically (and literally) killed  my Marilyn Monroe and she would have loved this movie, it moved in a language we all understand: in the colors, the music, the people. This is the type of movie dreamers have been wanting to do since cinema begun and that is sooo much.
Last night when I came home I wrote "This movie feels. This movie loves."

I'm planning on seein it again this week because it's a movie that deserves a big screen watch and nothing else.


I know I'm late but I just saw this and OH MY GOSH IT'S SO GOOD! I love the entire soundtrack and I've been listening to it for ages. Have you ever thought about doing a cover of The Fools Who Dream? I really think you'd be really good at it! Love you forever Dodie ❤


I saved watching this video until I watched the film, and OH MY GOODNESS it is amazing
I think it is seriously one of the best films I've ever seen. The ending just messes with you because it shows you what their life would be like if they stayed together and it plays through all the songs in different ways and I just.
Simply amazing.


I saw La La Land today and I was SOOOO moved it was SOBBING within like 30 minutes. just everything about it is stunning. I can't even put into words how that film makes me feel. I just look the use of color and ugh just everything is so amazing!!


Ugh dodie this film is so so amazing I was absolutely Cheshire Cat grinning when I left the cinema, it's such a beautiful beautiful film and I absolutely feel so much happier for watching it!


I love how realistic the ending is. Sometimes, you have to choose and sacrifice a thing to get another. It's pathetic but it's the truth.


I'm so glad that someone loves this film as much as I do...I just saw La La Land yesterday and I've listened to the music about a thousand times. I wanna go back again!!!! This film is beautiful on so many levels.


i finally came back to this video because i got to see it over the weekend! NEW FAVORITE MOVIE AHHH one more thing i love- they couldn't have ended up together and both fulfilled their dreams so i'm ok with the ending. i LOVE how they showed how it should have been


i loved the whole film so much, it was just so beautiful but not the ending!! i know they both got to do what they dreamed of but i wish they couldve found a way to do what they loved together yanno


OK
SO
I saw La La Land last night
IT IS SO FREAKING BEAUTIFUL! I saw it with my mom and cried AT LEAST THREE TIMES! When it was finished I turned to her and just said, "I am overwhelmed." Because I was. I was happy, I was sad, I was mad, I was amazed. I didn't know what to think because I had never seen a film so full of emotion. I love it so so so much and I am still crying from it. SO GOOD!😭😭😭


I had to wait to watch this until I watched the film, and I just watched it and I LOVED IT!!!! It was amazing. I felt almost as affected as you.


So I first watched the beginning of this video not having seen La La Land yet, then I went to see it today and was just blown away...the plot, the acting, the cinematography, choreography, soundtrack, etc.  were all absolutely incredible, and coming back to watch the rest of this video I can definitely relate with how beautiful it is <3


This is the only place I feel I can say this because none of my friends have taken interest in this piece of art and it feels great to relate to so many people who do. Anyways, I was so sad at the ending when mia ended up with some other guy, but the alternate ending was so beautiful. It offered me the closure I needed especially when it comes back to reality and they smile at each other. It was a realization that they didn't end up together, but they got their dreams that they've been working so long and hard for. It was just beautiful.(especially the music)


I just got back from watching the movie, and the film was definitely different than I was expecting and I was slightly disappointed and also slightly impressed that the cast and crew made this film. I was upset at the ending like most people but I'm also happy that this wasnt very cliche. They both got their own seperate dreams come true and they still love each other. These are my thoughts :)


I went to watch it on Friday and almost started crying just with the soundtrack and I never cry on movies! I've been listening to it on Spotify nonstop since then. I related so much with the first clip of you reacting to the music!!!


dodie omg i love the film i just watched it today and its just so beautiful and i actually walked out with a warm feeling in me like i was actually so happy rn. The tune that keeps on popping up in the film get stuck in my head and i dont even mind it getting stuck in my head. its such a beautiful film not to mention how much i love emma stone and it made me fall more in love with ryan gosling. oh my gosh i just feel so happy and i just want to rewatch it over and over and feel like everytime i watch it it's the first time. ok sorry for pouring out my feelings i just wanted to say what was bundled up inside me. love you <3


i watched the movie. i loved the cinematography. i loved the music. the end was nice. but still a bit too sweet for me woops. it has some touching moments


Oh my god I can relate I saw the film yesterday and I'm still sobbing😂, great video


I watched this movie last night and I want to paint until my hands fall off and learn to dance and talk forever about it, such a film made for seeing at the cinema


The ending broke me. When they saw each other, and Seb sat at the piano, before he even started playing I clickedwhat was about to happen. I just had to close my eyes, let the tears role and let the inevetable happen. Beautiful


Super emotional at the end. One of the most poignant endings I have seen in a very very long time.I appreciate how much it moved you, it does kind of leave you with mixed emotions and feelings.


I know exactly how you feel. I just saw the movie for the first time like an hour ago and I've never been more inspsired in my life. This is the best movie I've ever seen and maybe I'm saying that, because my emotions are still pretty messed up, but wahtever - I'M SAYING IT, DAMMIT! When the movie ended, I was crying because it is so well done, not because the story is sad, but because it is so incredibly well done. When La La Land ended, and I looked up from my laptop, I was startled for a second that I was still in my room, because while I was watching the movie, I was so sure that I was there, in the story... I've never imagined that a movie could affect me in such a way. But of course, it's probably because me and Mia share the same hopes for the future and have to hear even from our closest people, that acting won't pay the bills or put the food on the table, which is incredibly discouraging.


I JUST WATCHED IT AND I AM HEARTBROKEN AND INSPIRED AND SO OVERWHELMED BY IT IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL I LOVE IT I LOVE IT SO MUCH


It's such a wonderful story! I've just done my first ever YouTube video and it's a la la land cover. Inspirational film ha. Love your videos Dodie


The end ruined me! I cried for a hour and actually IM STILL CRYING my friends think I'm mad but the music and production and the storyline is something I deeply connect with an I just LOVE IT...not to mention EMMA isin it soooooo....


I relate to your love of this movie so much! Its actually so amazing!!


I watched it last night and now i dont know what to do with my life, its so amazing. I want to watch it so many more times. Please give me more, i need it!


The main reason I love this film is because it shows that what makes you happy isnt always what you think will make you happy


I just can't watch 3 minutes of this without crying! i relate to you soooooooooo much


I'm so glad you share my opinion!!!! all of my friends hate it due to the ending but I loved it so much!


I came back to this video after watching the movie - I was hesitating at first but you convinced me. I can now say that OMG THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING EVER. It's been an hour and I'm still crying. I'm now obsessed. Thank you.


I loved how the costume and set fits together. The colors matched constantly through the movie.


I've seen it this afternoon, couldnt stop crying after I got out of the theater. Just watched it again tonight (streaming, sorry :D) and I don't understand why this movie touches me so much.  I don't know if I'm sad or happy. I can't take it !


LOVE THIS FILM SOOOOO FREAKING MUCH !!!! I have seen it one time but I WANT MORE <33333


I was so hungry for a film where the main characters fall in love but don't end up together. I didn't know how truly amazing it would be when I got to it. oh. my. god. it was sooooo good.


Yes I loved it!! Also can't stop listening to the sound track😄 I wasn't sure about the ending at first but after thinking it over I actually really like the ending! Also I watched a video saying the last bit of 'what could have happened' is more like 'what would have happened' if it was an old Hollywood movie, but this is not that. And their smile at the end makes it alright! Also it seemed to me like if they stayed together Seb wouldn't have been able to have his dream


I didn't cry for the whole film and as the credits were just about to start I just burst into tears and bawled I was so overwhelmed at how beautiful it was I couldn't handle it


it took me the whole credits to compose myself after watching the movie because I was sobbing through the epilogue  (Started tearing up probably from around the fight). As we left, my boyfriend was saying how it was a shame we could hear the heavy rain from outside and that's when I knew how much I was into the movie cause I didn't hear a thing. I need to go see it again!


I just started really getting into jazz because I'm finally expanding the styles of music I'm playing on the flute. Watching a character so invested and passionate about his dream really plucked at the heartstrings, and I connected to him so much. I really believe that they were made for each other, the time and place was just not right. It just hurts that two people with the amazing connection and chemistry weren't together and it's so true that sometimes things aren't meant to be. It also really dug deep when Seb gave up his passion trying to make Mia happy, and Mia was at the concert and she didn't actually like the music like GOD THIS MUSICAL KILLS ME.  sorry I love this film and jazz and musicals in general and I had to  watch this with my family the first time and I was just holding back tears.


I was crying half-way through "Another Day of Sun", on FIRST seeing the movie. It was just TOO amazing, right from the beginning.


i loved la la land as well. i thought emma and ryan were extraordinary. they were talented artists and actors. i thought there chemistry on screen was amazing. the music was beautiful and went with the plot so well. as much as i wish they ended up together in the end, i thought it was admirable that they decided to be different from every other romance. usually, the lovers end up together but in this movie, they don't. they end up happy though. they both knew what they wanted to do and they just couldn't do it together. that's that. they will always love each other and stay friends but they're just not meant to be. but i honestly love this movie so so much. seriously. i love every single thing about it. ok. i'm done now haha have a nice day everyone


my favourite bit is at the end when seb is playing Mia and Sebastians theme , and he doesn't play the last key idk why but it was really beautiful cuz it sort of showed how their love is unfinished , and everyone clapped but they knew it wasn't over and I thought it was a symbol for their relationship


LOVED watching this video! It's not often people completely understand your emotions about a film but you hit the nail on the head. It's so refreshing to hear another person speak with so much passion about something they truly love. Honestly hearing you talk about La La Land was just as exciting for me as seeing the film itself haha. And YES, La La Land is fantastic!!


I went to the cinema yesterday to see la la land and IF WAS EVERYTHING. I mean, how can something be that PERFECT AND EMOTIONAL AND BEAUTIFUL. I think this was  one of the best and realest endings for a love story. PD: Really want to be like you!


I'm so glad I wasn't the only one crying all the way through lol


oh my gosh thank god nobody will talk about it with me. Its BEAUTIFUL to such a high level and since i want to be an actress  the character of Mia affected me in so many way. I swear in a few years its going to be such a classic movie,


I walked out of the cinema bawling and the lady that was holding the door open, saw me and was like "I know right the ending?" and then I audibly sobbed in agreement.


I saw la la land yesterday and I cried LOADS and it just affected me so much emotionally and mentally and physically and in every other way possible I just ,, I was not ready. It was so beautiful and relatable and it's now possibly my favourite film?? And much like you I can't stop talking about it, so if anyone wants to talk dm me on Instagram (@sh.annonlee) and I will literally talk to you for hours about it, it's that good. <br>Sorry I'm done lmao

I really loved the film and I never wanted it to end;)


I started watching this vid and stopped to tell my mother we hAD to see this film. I absolutely loved it!!


I finally saw it and as an artist, I LOVED IT SO MUCH


I watched la la land three times. And I cried three times. And every time I listen to the soundtrack I break down and cry.


I've just seen it and I LOVE IT I've been crying for so long


The thing I super super loved about it especially was the costuming. Throughout the film, Mia's usually in deep, bright colours and Seb's in muted tones always and I LOVE IT - in A Lovely Night, Mia's in all three primary colours (yellow dress, red bag, blue shoes!) and Seb's in straight-up black and white. (I particularly like Mia's sly switch to black-and-white tap shoes for the dance number - yes, black-and-white because they're tap shoes, but also black-and-white because SEB) Then as the movie progresses (keep in mind, I've only seen it once so I might be misremembering stuff), they each change their colour schemes a bit and end in more muted colours - not totally bright, but not technically neutral either. I just REALLY LOVE THE COSTUMING IN THIS FILM - the whole thing's just an audiovisual masterpiece, honestly.


I thought the ending was perfect...even though some ppl disagree and thought the end ruined the entire film. Im glad i am not the only one who was so affected by the film


I CRIED SO MUCH AT THE END, MIA SHOULDNT HAVE LEFT HIMMM SEBASTION GOT SO MUCH BUT WAS STILL IN LOVE  SHE IS SO CUTE


DODIE IM SO LATE BUT I FINALLY SAW IT AND I CANT STOP CRYING AND IT WAS SO GOOD AND I LITERALLY BOUGHT THE SOUNDTRACK RIGHT AFTER IT ENDED AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH DODIE THANK YOU


I saw it and left feeling proud of modern cinema for once. I grew up on old movies (as in Doris Day, Judy Garland, Cary Grant, Gene Kelly, John Wayne, etc.) and those are some of my favorite movies to this day and I have had a healthy discontentment with modern cinema. Singin' In The Rain is my favorite movie of all time and La La Land felt like a lovely nod of the hat to that movie. A beautiful little slice of cinema heaven in our day.


I just watched La La Land and it was halfway through the movie that I just started crying. I don't know what it was that struck such a cord within me, but I was just sitting there balling my eyes out throughout the rest of the movie and my friend was confused because although she enjoyed it, it didn't affect her nearly as much as it affected me. <br>I don't understand what it is that hit me so hard!! It was such a beautiful movie and I really really enjoyed it, and the more I thought about it the more I realised that it could not have affected me as much as it did unless I loved it, or related to some aspect of it on a subconscious level. My plan is to listen to the soundtrack and watch it until I figure out what it is that makes it affect me

My favourite line from Fools Who Dream is "the ripples from pebbles" because it's like what you can do can affect others so much and arrrggghhhh I love it!!!


It's really sad for me how most of people saw this only as a love film. When women around me started crying in the end I felt uncomfortable. o.o


i've waited so long to watch this video but after watching la la land earlier i can totally relate to the things you said here !! wow i loved the film so much


I saw this video posted in January but wanted to wait until I'd seen the film to watch it, and I saw the film a few hours ago now and just wow. it really was incredible. the music was so beautiful and the filming was incredible and the acting was amazing and the actual storyline was so real and it just kind of captures you. AND THAT SMILE WHEN SHE'S LEAVING SEBS AT THE END AND ITS JUST LIKE 'I'm happy and I'm so happy that you're happy too and we both achieved our dreams and I'm sorry we couldn't do it together but you helped me on the way so much' and it's just so beautiful. ahhhhh


I really really liked this film. The cinematography in this film is so stunning. I haven't been this impressed with the cinematography of a film in a while! I also identified quite strongly with the themes in this film and with Mia's character, which is why I wept at The Fools Who Dream. It was very cathartic for me! Equally, I liked how the musical aspects were romanticised, but the 'real-life' content was not. Like every relationship it had flaws and they both had to really graft for their dreams. They weren't handed to them on a plate, as the romanticised depiction of Hollywood can portray. <br>A few people I know didn't like the fact that there was a chunk of the film where there weren't many musical numbers, but I think that that was the point. I saw the musical numbers as a form of escape for the characters, which played out in their minds; there is a short while where neither of them needed to escape (when they begin their relationship, seem happy and they seem to be on track with goals), so there was no need for any flashy musical numbers. But that's just how I saw it. I was wondering what you thought? The ending was gorgeous. No doubt. Beautifully composed and really touching.

I just saw it today. It was beautiful and I haven't seen a film like it before.


Came here from your cover of "City of Stars"! I liked it for all the reasons you loved it, but I'm a little on Daniel's side of the post-movie feelings section. Oops. XD Anyway, I'm going to review it too and I hope you don't mind I link people to this video because it is lovely to see you talk about this with so much heart. <3 Have a great day!


my dad was dreading taking me to see it and thought it was gonna be awful but he ended up really liking it and i thought it was so lovely i was blown away ❤


I've just been to see La La Land and i LOVED IT OMG WHAT A BEAUTIFUL FILM AH


I have a war with my friends now because we were watching la la land and they wouldnt shut up, and usually i wouldnt care but the soundtrack was SO GORGEOUS, i just stand up and sit in the other side of the cinema next to a lovely old woman who i cried with the rest of the film.


ALL 11 MINUTES OF THIS HAVE BEEN ME FOR THE PAST WEEK I CANNOT BELIEVE LA LA LAND IS A 21ST CENTURY WORK OF ART


I thought it was one of the most beautiful films I have ever seen and just a all round nice movie.


I was crying in the theater for 10 long solid minutes after the movie ended. Then my family and I went to the mall and my mom was asking why I was crying and as I was explaining it I started crying more and it's just UGH I LOVE LA LA LAND S O MUCH


I LOVED THE FILM SO MUCH I CRIED LIKE A BABY. I related so much to it because I'm working to become an actress so it was so real for me. The ending killed me like hE ENDED UP CALLING HIS CLUB SEB'S ARE YOU KIDDING


i fucking love la la land , i can't stop crying i'm an emotional wreck , but it's so worth it
