but what was the point of the end? I fucking loved la la land, i just watched it, which is why I'm finally coming back to watch this, BUT LIKE WHY COULDNT THEY HAVE ENDED UP TOGETHER?? sure it's "not realistic" if they want their dreams BUT FUCK ,, WHY THE FUCK NOT,, WHY COULDNT THEY HAVE JUST LET THEM END UP TOGETHER

The ending simply shows that we sometimes achieve our goals only to discover that we sacrificed our heart's true desire. If you look at the lyrics to City of Stars, which they sang to each other before they fulfilled their goals, they sang that what they really want "is love from somebody else". When people are on their death bed, they don't think about all the goals they achieved, but rather the relationships they either gained or lost. That's when they either have joy or regret. I saw regret in Mia's and Seb's eyes in the last scene. They achieved their goals, but they lost out on the most important thing of all ... the friendship, companionship and love of the best person ever that came into their lives.

what????  That is real life.  She didnt want Greg's wealth.  Besides her and Greg were not a good match.  She did not have the passion for Greg.  So she met this guy in Paris, that is real life.  She was in Paris and she met him.  She let go of Seb and moved on with her life.  That is real life.  Not flip-flopy.  They decided at Griffith Park that they didnt know where life was going to take them.  So they took that chance.

So she married to this guy whom she  probably met in Paris, and had a 2-3 yo kid with him? That's even worse than ending up with Greg. It's a bit confusing. Makes her character flip-flopy. I mean, if she and Greg got back together, at least that would demonstrate that she chose  wealth and influence over love for Seb, a talented artist. Instead we got this husband out of nowhere. That doesn't make sense.

That being said, I think perhaps Mia really IS flip flopy. I told you that she and Seb were not meant to be together based on my observation. You see, first she was attracted to him by his piano skill and his passion for jazz,  then her mom called worrying about Seb's financial security; when he finally landed on a well-paid steady job, she chastised him for surrending his dream of opening a jazz to this job; and things got bitter, as he missed her one-woman-show, and they broke up. After that, it was Seb who received that audition call and encouraged her to take the opportunity; when she finally got the movie role, it marked the end of their relationship as they went pursuing their separate dreams. Look, I hate to say this, but think it over, her character is selfish. This only thing consistent is her pursuit for fame and success. When he asked her to come with him on tour she said no, but in that ending fantasy sequence, he came with her to Paris. Maybe Seb was right about her using him to feel good at the dinner. Sorry I can't remember the exact line, but whatever he said, it pissed her off as she immediately rose and stormed out.

Mia did not end up with her Ex.  That was not Greg in the end.  <br>La la land is like in real life.  We dont always get our happy ending.  Many times we are left with the "what ifs" and we all have them.   That is what the ending is about.  What if they would have ended up together?  But they both walked away from the relationship to pursue their dreams.  What was beautiful is that they both accomplished their dreams and saw each other and basically gave each other the thumbs up with the ending smile.  Absolutely perfect.

Because they were not meant to be together whatsoever. Mia ended up with her ex ... Greg, right? And Seb gave up the relationship for his dream club. Their happy ending only existed in that fantasy sequence.

Tutu Sketches to fuck with our minds cuz it's an illusion lol

I know!  But sometimes in real life one person gives up their dream so that the other one can have theirs.  Have you ever been there?  More common is the husband gets the dream job and the wife gives up her dream (please dont hate me, Im just saying.  They both equally talented and they both wanted it so bad.  Mia was about to give up her dream and he basically pushed her back into it. He even went inside the waiting room with her for support.  Ugh, I love his character!  He could taste his dream so bad and he wanted Mia to taste the same thing he did.  It was just magical.

@Lilobeetle @cordyfunky Wow you guys, thank you. I love the ending A LOT as well. Man, I'm crying. You guys are beautiful. Love. <3

Wow! I'm speachless now. You just said everything and now it makes the ending even more perfect! :) Honestly that is such an amazing statement and I'm sure that I remeber those words/this statement forever. It's just.. I don't find any words. Thank you so much!

+cordyfunky Thank you, oh my god! I loved the ending. I love love love the ending. It's my favourite detail about the film that makes it into this perfect organic whole.
I have experienced so often and I find it such an important aspect of life that you meet people that you love and give everything to, if it is for days, months or years. And these people have something to give back to you, and you share and enrichen each other's experiences and you just grow so much. And sometimes these people leave, or you leave, or it just ends and it hurts so much but it's also so okay. Because your time is over and life is meant that way.
And here, Mia and Seb achieving their life goals /only/ by the menas of each other is the purpose of their realtionship. Not a happily ever after, but a happy in between that leads to a happily ever after, but not together. And it shows even more that that sharing your life with a person is such a special thing and so magical, even if it's not forever and ever.

I though that at first, but then there was that last look and smile, which made the scene absolutely perfect

Tutu Sketches I just love the ending. It shows that if they didn't meet they would have never reached their goals. It's just about that everything happens for a reason. So when he plays at the end the song at the piano he tells Mia a story with the song. He shows her that if they would have end up together he would'nt have realised his dreams. And because of Mia he has reached it. And because of him Mia has also reached her dreams. (Btw I'm sorry for my english ;))

The ending is the best part of the movie, in my personal opinion. Honestly I think too many people are used to this standard fairytale ending and that this is so much more unique and unpredictable. To me it shows that it's okay for things not to work out perfectly in the end, because that's life. Their interests and careers were too different and I think that if they stayed together they would only hold each other back from doing what they really love.

Tutu Sketches I really like it. They grew apart. I don't think it would have been good if they had ended up together.

Tutu Sketches I can't think of another movie that would have ended like that. That's why

Tutu Sketches It was more about achieving your dreams and they couldn't do it together


I enjoyed La La Land but tbh it was no Whiplash

Tommy Anderson I don't even see how they're both being compared. ones a musical¿?


I've listened to the soundtrack 9494 times


I think I'm the only person that didn't like this movie, but I found it very over the top. It just seems like Damien Chazelle just took his Havard film class and forced it all to fit into one movie. There are clear references to Woody Allen movies, singing in the rain and other old movies; however it just seemed like he didn't add anything new to film.
If anyone wants a really good movie recommendation, go watch Moonlight. It really shined in places that La la land didn't.
Also, if you want another musical, I'd say sing street is a great movie for someone who likes La la land.

this! i just saw it last night, and a friend who hasn't seen it asked me "so was it one of the best movie musicals of the past 10 years?" and my answer was gosh no! i did enjoy it but mostly for the visuals and the nostalgia. but something so nostalgic doesn't really introduce anything new. it was old hollywood & classic broadway, both things i really enjoy. but i didn't really get anything new from it. it was mostly just pleasant, in a year i probably won't even remember most of it.


Anybody know where Dodie got her denim top?<br>I've been searching this comment chain for ages 😂

I've been searching this comment chain for ages 😂


HI Dodie! I haven't seen La La Land (and I want to) so I'll be honest and say that I haven't watched more than 2 minutes of this video. I just wanted to know if you addressed the representation at all in the film? I feel like you can love a film and still have critiques on it. I want to see La La Land but I'm aware from the trailers that it's set in the 40s(?) and when I see a star studded cast of (mostly) white characters frolicking around during the jazz age (jazz, with it's many prolific Black artists), I can't help but wonder if it's worth putting my money into a movie where people of color have been erased from history. Like I get that John Legend is in it, but that doesn't make up for the plethora of characters of color that should be in the movie. Can you speak to the representation in the movie at all?<br>Thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks for this! (: I'm definitely more inclined to check it out now!

+kmaya1024 all the other jazz players from what I can remember were black or poc besides Ryan gosling? It could've had someone who was black in his role because of the culture and background behind jazz and seeing a white man go on about keeping jazz alive is a little funny, but I still think the films great and you shouldn't pass on it.

Hi! @Caitlin Brooks I think you might have misunderstood my comment: I mentioned that I haven't seen it but want to! I don't know the exact premise (because I haven't seen it yet) but thank you for clarifying that its set in present day!  I'm just concerned about POC representation in Hollywood film. Even if it's set in present day, I would love to see more of these Oscar class, star studded movies, incorporate characters of color and be more representative of POC experiences.

Sorry - please don't make comments like this before you've seen it. It's not set in the 40s, it's set in present day. John Legend isn't the only poc. You have to see it and then criticise (which I don't think you would)

kmaya1024 I'd love to hear her thoughts on this too. I haven't seen it, but after hearing people complain about the lack of representation in an era so important in black culture, I don't know if even will. I guess I see why people are enjoying it, but I don't know if I can enjoy the film with that on my mind.


I liked La La Land a lot but was kind of underwhelmed after seeing it based on all they hype it had gotten. My main criticisms are these:
1) Crazy ass tone shifts: I feel like the film jumped around from genre to genre and they were huge shifts in tone that caught me unawares and just kind of discombobulated the feel of the movie. Like the opening number was super campy and grand, and then the movie became sort of rom-comesque, and then it would get incredibly dramatic. The pace would go from really slow to really fast to really slow again. Overall though, this could have been an artistic choice to show the journey of an artist/love from big and grand and hopeful to dark and poignant an bittersweet, so I can kind of respect it.
2) Lack of characterization: Throughout the whole movie, I kept waiting to feel like I knew these characters or to feel some personal attachment to them. I could never really discern what their personalities were. I think this was because their conversations had little or bland dialogue, mostly it was them just staring at each other. Mia was just the actress girl and Seb was just the guy who loves jazz. If the film had shown some of their little quirks and personality or some actual specifics about the history, I would have been a lot more invested in their relationship.
3) Casting: Ok, I love Ryan and Emma, but the casting of the movie comes off as really hypocritical to me. The film is all about the incredible untapped talent in LA, and all these young people trying to make it doing what they love. Then why did they cast two A list stars as the leads!? It's a film about struggling artists, why didn't they cast two struggling artists!? That actually would have been really cool!?
4) Diversity:I really got my hopes up with the diversity in the opening number, but besides John Legend and Seb's one black friend, there are no notable POC characters. Also, jazz, a genre created and predominantly dominated by black musicians, is represented by a white dude. Who goes so far to explain to a black guy how he's ruining the genre??? Seb says he wants to "save the genre"??? Like he is literally the white savior for a black art form.
I did genuinely enjoy the movie, especially the final scene, which I thought was genius, but I think these were kind of vital flaws that kept me from truly loving it. If you liked this movie though, I would recommend About Time, Beyond the Lights, and my all time favorite, Away We Go.

Elizabeth Leonard you're missing the whole point when you bring up how Seb told John Legends character he's ruining the genre. race had nothing to do with it???¿ Jazz is an old school type of music and Seb is old school, so when Johns character was adding electronic beats to it and stuff that does defeat true jazz, that's all there was to it.  I don't know why you had to bring color into it and how he's a "white savior" that's an invalid argument cause that doesn't have to do with anything.

I majorly agree with you especially on number 3. My biggest personal critique for the movie was that leads of the film really in my own personal opinion did not have strong enough voices to lead a musical. I mean, they could carry a tune sure, but I feel like there were better picks for this if they really wanted to make it a musical. I hate to be that guy, but as a musician it was really hard for me to follow the movie because of all the style changes and the weakness in Ryan and Emma's voices. I really enjoyed the movie, I really did I just wish they had picked other people to lead with stronger voices

Elizabeth Leonard YES the diversity issue!!! that was my huge issue with this film

Elizabeth Leonard yes yes yes! Your review literally explains why I'm having a problem loving this movie.

yes! i could not agree more, with every point you made. to be honest, for me, legend's character was my favourite with regards to artistry. he evolves, while seb seems to be stuck in the past. actually, i feel like that applies to the film as a whole. it's a bit reliant on nostalgia, what with all its references to (g)olden hollywood. and not to mention the themes of 'white guy saves jazz'--chazelle seems to like that. the scene where seb was explaining 'real jazz' to john legend made me cringe. i was hoping dodie would talk about it in the video, seeing as it is far more not-not-racist than not-feminist. i was disappointed but not surprised when it swept the golden globes. la la land is a love letter to filmmaking and award seasons are, essentially, the film industry patting itself on its back. moonlight deserved more, it was far better imo, both as a film and its themes. (if that makes sense? i mean 'film' as in acting, direction, etc, and themes as in its messages, such as racial identity.)

this is the point where i realise literally no one asked aha also sorry if there are any mistakes, english is not my first language!

It's midnight and I was supposed to write a psychology essay and I wrote an essay on La La Land instead. Whelp.


unpopular opinion: i wasnt really a fan of the film): dont hate me! the scenery is gorgeous and the music is wonderful ... the acting was great too, its just the story was too predictable. no real conflict for me. idk. maybe i should watch it again.

Lynn Rossi I didn’t love it either. The story line was a bit weak to me (but then I didn’t like The Notebook either so maybe it’s just not my thing). The music and the acting and the sets and the special effects were all so beautiful and gorgeous but the wavering perspectives and different potential endings were cool in effect but it wasn’t strongly put together in my opinion. Also I feel like they could have given more background? In the fools dream song or whatever I feel like they bordered on something about Mia’s aunt and a fire and they could have added more idk. It was just sort of boring. I wish I did like it more though, I love the actors and the soundtrack is phenomenal. Oh well.

JiminCoffee i agree! btw omg jimin <3 im an ARMY !!!! hi fam

aahhhh saammee! me and my family watched it together and we found it very boring and pretentious at times. also im a huge fan of musicals and i felt like la la land hardly counted cause it was mainly reprises of one of the songs way too many times. and unlike dodie, i couldn't relate to any of the themes. i used to get irritated at how many people love it but now im jealous because it does seem like a truly beautiful film and i just can't appreciate it :/

the ending was pretty nice to watch because of how realistic that was though in my opinion

Lynn Rossi to be honest at first I didn't think it was all that great but by the third/fourth time I'd seen it with friends I was totally obsessED

Stephanie Tupaea i predicted them not being together at the end. i just felt since the story was so typical, the ending had to do something different. i guess there just was no big surprise there for me, maybe that's why i didn't like it that much?

i agree, no real conflict. the plot is too simple. The only part that got me is the ending. But you know, that's life. It's realistic. I mean, are any of your life like soap drama? so yeah, it's relatable. I'll give this movie that.

I agree... mostly.<br> I guessed what was coming in the first 10minutes but still cried for the last 30minutes. Something about the music and scenery like you said.

I agree... mostly.

Wait, how is it predictable when they don't end up together? Or is it that you just don't see the film as being a romance?

I love that you made a comment about the fact that you don't like so much this movie without insulted anybody

I like to think that the plot was supposed to be predictable. That it was supposed to be the classic Hollywood love story, but with a small twist (the ending). That's honestly what I love most about the movie :)

Yes I feel the same. The filme is great but don't meke feel "I loved it!". And i feel "I wanna to watch again because 'every one' liked of it" But we don't get to like every one likes.

Lynn Rossi it is not unpopular...half of the people who have seen it,they just don't like it

Jessica McCamley i felt the same!!! omg lol. im glad i'm not alone on this

Honestly I agree. I get why people may like it because it's cute at the surface. I found it so generic and didn't get the hype. My mum and I spent half the film laughing at the isolated lighting any time Gosling touched a piano. I predicted the plot from like half way through. So happy I'm not the only one who doesn't get the hype 😂

kits i wasn't talking about the ending being predictable. just the whole story itself. too cliche for me

Phanic! At the Crybaby discø l-/ it was just a very boring movie. guy and girl meet, cant be together because of some reasons that have to do with their future, added with music and scenery

Kat Culbertson agree so much! with movies like that, i want to fall in love with the characters! i didn't feel connected to them at all.

Lynn Rossi predictable? The predictable thing to do would be having Mia and Sebastian end up together.

I'm pretty sure yours is the popular opinion! Miss me with that white-people-save-jazz...but I looooved Fools Who Dream!

I think the film had really lofty artistic ambitions, and it definitely hit the mark on those sometimes but not consistently. It had beautiful music and scenery and choreography and even acting, but I didn't fall in love with any of the characters or feel particularly affected by the story. I guess I was just waiting for it all to come together for me and it never did.

Lynn Rossi it was indeed simple but that it is some of the very magic of the film in these times a lot of films are so over complicated this was so refreshing to have a simple story line

I totally agree! I was completely prepared to love it but something was just off idk i didnt love it sadly :/ something about the acting i feel like. I didnt get that overly emotional feeling i always get after watching beautiful musical acting

That's what I thought but then I listened to the soundtrack and I realised that I was subconsciously really affected by it, and now I'm obsessed with it lol. Give it another go, I bet you'll change your mind:)

Luna Feliz EXACRLY HOW I FELT!!! like i didn't get that overjoyed and inspirational feeling i get after i watch musicals. it just didn't do it for me!!!!

Lynn Rossi SAME like I didn't hate it or anything I was just really bored? and there were like small things that I didn't like but not enough to extremely dislike it like Sebastian's pretentiousness and Mia's disgust at seeing him "sell out" that I just didn't??? I really wanted to like it too which sucked because I felt like all the songs I liked were the ones I wasn't supposed to like and I avoided all the spoilers and reviews because I didn't want anything to ruin it for me :( and like their  singing and dancing wasn't great and the music didn't drive the story and I was just left kinda like eh, but maybe this is all because I have a really strong musical theatre background and I expect a lot better but I just?? yeah

I think it's amazing how they did such a gorgeous movie out of a simple story. I mean, there are movies where the most important part is the plot and the rest just goes around it, but I feel it was the other way around with La La Land. It was an ok story with great actors, great direction, great music, great dialogues, great everything else basically. Like, if you do a summary about what it tells it seems like just another movie from the pile, but then you watch it and it AMAZES you, because of how it's made. And I loved that the Ryan and Emma weren't fantastic singers and dancers, they had more ''''natural''' <del>so to speak</del> abilities. Like, I can imagine a couple singing City of Stars spontaneously in their living room like they did. But they do are great actors and did a wonderful job there.

SAME. I actually didn't like it. There were many parts in the beginning where the lip syncing was off and Ryan Gosling (in my opinion) CANT SING AT ALL. Sorry not sorry as a film student it was not a film that shouldn't have been nominated and they should have casted a lead male who could ACTUALLY SING and not have just casted him because he's popular. However the story I think was great and so was Emma I just didn't like some film errors and that the lead male IN A MUSICAL cant sing. (Just my OPINON PLEASE DONT BURN ME AT THE STAKE K THANKS!)

Leslie Gonzalez the whole storyline was very predictable. it didnt even have a real plot. watch the trailer, it literally has no clues of what its about. i felt it was rushed, the music and scenery was great but it lacked a strong plot. girl and guy come together and their relationship struggles because of their different career paths. just thought it was an excuse to make a good soundtrack. the story wasnt enough.

hoi its emily totally got that. its just i dont think the film was worthy of all the hype. i found myself very bored. just my opinion.

Lynn Rossi PREDICTABLE?<br>I DID NOT PREDICT THAT ENDING TF

Lynn Rossi PREDICTABLE?
I DID NOT PREDICT THAT ENDING TF

Lynn Rossi I get that. the story lines in these sort of films are very similar and predictable, but the part of the movie most appreciate is the 'struggling artist' 'love isn't everything, but it is beautiful' 'you dont need to value love over your own dreams' themes.


When I watched it, I didn't like the ending because Mia and Seb didn't get to be together after all they've done throughout the film and the alternate ending was nice and made me happy however since they didn't get together it seemed like it wasn't a happy ending (to some but probably all) . . . (To me personally) wrong I definitely feel like this was a happy ending because they had achieved what they wanted (Seb had his Jazz Club after having nothing and Mia had got the role for a movie after countless tries and had a family), just because it didn't happen when they were together doesn't mean they still aren't happy with their separate lives. I feel like the point of the ending and of the whole film isn't seeing two people fall in love together but seeing two people fall in love with what they do and having someone there to help achieve their goals even though they hadn't been together in the end (I hope that made sense but I really loved the film and I'd love to watch it again and if it comes out on DVD it'd definitely buy it, TAKE ALL MY MONEY LA LA LAND)

I agree, I think it was a genius ending because it was super realistic. They kind of showed how a "perfect" life would have gone in the flashback when they redid the whole film with Seb and Mia, but life's not perfect. I just think it was an amazing way to end it that showed life isn't always what you think its going to be, but it can still work out well. I don't know. Im rambling. I love this film so much.


i thought that through the traditional hollywood musical part, of their ideal life with all the perfect 'what if's', they were simultaneously completing the full cycle of cliché and dismissing it. it was as if half of the movie had been a dream, and they were waking up and coming to terms with the fact that life isn't a happy-ending romance movie (i also love the ending because it calls into question how much of the film was real, and how much was imagined - eg the flying part, and all the dramatic lighting, and the slow motion dancers)

I believe that when Sebastian started playing "Late for the Date" they were both envisioning what their life would have been like (much similar to a Hollywood film) there is no conflict and no need for compromising; they stay together and have a wonderful life. However, I really enjoyed the film and the ending because they both accomplish their dreams--granted sacrifices were made but such is life.

Aurora Gillin i'm very late but i think the ending was fantastic. it definitely was different but i think the point was that no, they didn't end up together and that's okay. they still played an important role in each other's life and they've both moved on. i think the relationship that they had was necessary for both of them in order for them to grow as people, but it just didn't work out and that's fine.

I thought the ending was so tragic and moving and just got to me so much. I know that Dodie says that they both achieve their dreams in the end but I don't agree! To me it seems like Seb, in the final sequence, is showing Mia that she was his dream all along, but he knew that they couldn't v.

I liked how it wasn't the traditional happily ever after because more people could relate. It was authentic and beautiful how they sort of come together at the end at sebs club with just a smile

i thought seb and mia were so cute together AHHHHH

well. it broke my heart. i was expecting to leave the movie happy and bubbly, but this ending... hit me right in the feels >.< <br>still great movie though, love the colours, the acting, the music!!

well. it broke my heart. i was expecting to leave the movie happy and bubbly, but this ending... hit me right in the feels >.<
still great movie though, love the colours, the acting, the music!!

i dont think the coffee thing was cliche i think it was actually a pretty clever way to tie it together. Mia aspired to be that actress in the beginning and in the end it came full circle and she walked out of that little coffee shop as a famous actress like shed always dreamed

how can you say that it was cliché omg nonono

it just came as a bit of a cliché to me. She becomes the person she admires in that coffee shop, winds up with an ideal man and Seb getting his dream come true, meh. But then again, I've seen the movie like 3 times already, I loved it that much.

I know! The movie was so good I loved it but the ending just completely blew my mind

Aurora Gillin the ending destroyed me but i loved it so so so much it's unbelievable


same girl same😂😂😂 you listening to the soundtrack is me !!!


someone in the crowd could take you where you want to go!


You are dressed as Mia when she and Seb have their dinner


This video was PERFECT, YES YES alllllll the YES I'm absolutely addicted to the film. You articulated many of the main reasons why I love it. Having lived in LA for a bit it really did capture the glamour and superficiality of it (the superficiality made it tough for me but I do love going there a couple of times a year and I think I always will). I love how the movie captured basically my entire brain...so many of the scenes are the way I picture life/reminisce on big life moments while I'm walking or listening to music...I visualise my life that way all the time haha :') Everything is big and magic and wonderful in my brain. The music - just - oh god don't get me started...cannot stop thinking about it/singing it - so much so that I ACTUALLY TRIED TO SING in my last vid coz nothing else is coming out of my mouth right now, but, my favourite thing about the movie was how it brought up the feels on love that isn't "meant to be", the characters choose their dreams over one another, jazz and acting are the real loves of the movie, and it's just this kind of...unspoken thing between them, no big deal is made of it, just, "I'll always love you" and I relate so hard to that with my long term ex. Also just the way they portrayed that feeling you get when you see an ex that you loved really hard and you picture what could have been if you'd chosen them/they'd chosen you. FUCK. My HEART, THE STABBING PAIN <3 Dying to hear you & Jon cover City of Stars. THANK U FOR THIS BAB can't wait to see you again can we please just sit and sing this in a corner and cry together? xxx

Melanie Murphy this is so so true, couldn't have said it better. Aw man, it is so so beautiful

Melanie Murphy couldn't explain it better!!!


hi here after finally watching it you don't know how long ive WAITED to watch this


"fell in love in LA"? Where is jon cozart again?

I mean it would be cute if it was a thing but can we just leave it? Like Dodie has said on her snapchat and that that they're just friends  if she isn't telling us about this love then we need to respect that and not speculate ya know

LA, that's what I thought too. I believe it was because I've put things together, especially there two songs they made, Jon; a love song in Paris Dodie: a non love song. And then all of a sudden dodie couldn't go for personal reasons, then I was like OHHHHH

can we just make a point that it may have not been a youtuber at all?

@Ella Mozzarella<br>what that didn't end well? :(

paris cathleen  Going to watch it for the third time tomrrow! :-)

itsjustparis I sobbed, my heart was so touched. The ending was absolutely beautiful


I STILL HAVENT SEEN IT BEAUSE MY FRIENDS WONT GO

watch it on your own honestly it's the kind of movie that is great to see on your own so you could cry and not be distracted by anybody

alyssalourdes go by yourself!!! I went with friends and it kinda ruined it for me

I watched 3 movies (at the movies) by myself yesterday and as great as would've been to share the gut wrenching, heart breaking, harrowing experiences of them (especially la la land 😭), it was really great seeing them on my own. also just realised how long this is so im gonna stop talking now

alyssalourdes AGGHSH SAME HERE 😭😭 IM JUST A THEATER FREAK TO THEM AHHH

it went by myself sat alone in a row to myself :)

alyssalourdes go by yourself! I went by myself and I cried freely and it was great!

alyssalourdes go by yourself. I do all the time. there is no shame. People will respect you for it.

alyssalourdes go by yourself!!! then you can bawl your eyes out with no judgement

I just went on my own with a cinema packed full of people

I WAS GONNA GO TODAY BUT I WAS TOO TIRED AND NOW I REGRET NOT GOING A LOT BECAUSE ALL MY FRIENDS WONT COME TO SEE IT WOTH ME AGAIN

its so good but yeah i recommend going alone tbh no jokes

I think I might just go by myself today !! woooo

alyssalourdes I'd go with you. It's such an impeccable film.

I WENT ALONE! JUST SEE IT! IT'S WORTH IT!!! <3 <3 <3

+Shawna it is!! it was still so pleasant though fksj

ada yeah it's a humbling experience going alone hahaha

I'M ANOTHER PERSON WHO WENT ALONE,, it was so awkward i was seated between two other people but i just forced myself to clear my head n watch the film and it was So Good

alyssalourdes i saw it once with my friends and once alone! honestly alone was much better hehe, see it alone if you can't find anyone. you won't regret it :-)


in the end when mia went to seb's club and he used the logo she made😭


I cried so much during that ending... :,(


you didn't even talk about the ending???? I caaaaanntttt with stories where the two in love the whole movie don't end up together... like what???? Made me so upsetti spaghetti


Please can you do a Hamilton cover it is an amazing musical


I'm sorry. I didn't like it that much :( I though some parts were kinda cheesy and ridiculous and I kinda laughed because I thought they were kinda.... stupid. I am talking about the beginning scene with the spontanious dancing and singing in traffic but most of all when Mia and Seb went to the observatory and then started dancing in space or something... idk.<br>But the story and the characters are indeed amazing and the ending was original, yet because of those things I probably won't watch it again.

Eleonora (my name is eleonora too btw :D) i agree! i loved some of the songs and it is a good musical, but to me it mostly felt like a plasticky, tacky, shallow wannabe-old-hollywood movie that just didn't manage to convey any depth at all.


i'm completly in your mood!! I just felt in love and wanna watched it a million times, for me it was full of fellings and inspiration. thank you for doing this video ❤❤❤


THIS MADE ME SO HAPPY. Its so great to see someone talk about La La Land with SO MUCH PASSION , so GENUINELY :)


Honestly the opening sequence was my favorite part. It made me cry for some reason?!?! I just thought it was beautiful to depict an idealistic view of a world where everyone gets along like best friends who are excited to see each other all the time and strangers aren't strange & they can be distracted from the traffic or everyday stresses for just one moment...


I went to go see the film with two other friends and we thought when Mia (Emma) sang the The Fools Dream it was the most relatable piece of music EVER. We didn't know what would happen if we were to pursue our dreams. When we heard the song, we started to contemplate our future but look forward to it and become determined at the same time


EXACTLY HOW I FEEL ABOUT THIS AMAZING FILM. The ending where they ran thru the whole film with the alternate scenario was so moving and gets me every time! And the soundtrack is on replay for me! Tears all day


Oh my god, I can relate so much with your reaction. I LOVED THIS MOVIE with ALL MY HEART. The soundtrack gives me life and makes me cry for hours. Thank you so much for this video!


Damien Chazelle is a genius! That ending was absolutly brilliant, i mean when they smile at each other in the end was pure love and acceptance of their reality within their accomplished dreams. I just love this film.


IT WAS LOVELY
IT WAS AMAZING, and it makes me feel ok
And the songs were beautiful and the singing and dancing was beautiful and everything was executed so well and I got lost in it and then it broke me out and then it pulled me back in, I have lots more to say ,, good movie! :)


This movie has effected me so much. When I walked out of the theatre I felt so moved and so changed that I honestly didn't know what to do with my life anymore. I felt like my whole world just revolved around this beautiful film and all of its colors and wonders.


i felt so many emotions while i watched this movie and i'm still crying now. i feel so passionate about musicals now and oh my gosh i can't


1:20 in and girl....I FEEL THE EXACT. SAME. WAY. I became obsessed. I've seen it twice in the theater in a week and bought the soundtrack immediate after the first time I saw it. I had to gather my emotions after seeing it so long that the credits ended and the theater people were annoyed because they needed to clean.


When it came out, I was sceptical about it. I watched it and I'm actually a different person. It's one of those films that changes you as a person and makes you think and appreciate things differently. Thank you La La Land for changing my life, I'm forever in debt to this movie. I love it so much


I really love the aesthetic and colours and clothes in the film, it's so lovleyyyy, I love drawing and it's definitely something I wanna draw it


Finally saw it! I can pinpoint the exact moment that I just started bawling: "Maybe I'm not good enough." Didn't stop crying till after the credits.


I've waited an entire month to watch this video and I can relate to every single thing you just said

Also, I CRIED A RIVER!

The end made me feel so emotional and when I left the theater I had this feeling of sadness but also happiness and omg


Also, from a cinematic point of view, all of the continuous shots were AMAZING!! The fact the camera didn't cut out, or change shots, or whatever was very powerful. And it gives credit to how amazing the director and cinematographer is. Like when Seb was walking Mia to her car, and they start singing and dancing, THE CAMERA DIDN'T CUT ONCE!! Also, many other examples. Also, that scene in the theatre where Seb and Mia are playing footsie with their hands before holding hands is SO TRUE!! It appealed to me, and was so full of memories that OMG I COULDN'T!


i can relate to this video so much! i totally love la la land, watched it 5 times within a week! my heart melted in the part towards the end when mia says "i'm always gonna love you" and seb says "i'm always gone love you too", and then he makes the joke about the view and ugh they're so cute. and i cried so much in the scene where they show how their lives would have been if they ended up together (while the mixture of all songs played in the background!). i'm not even upset about the ending though, it made the movie so unique. i really feel like talking about the movie all the time but none of my friends have seen it! (i still listen to the soundtrack on repeat almost every day)


I saw la la land yesterday and holy shit it was amazing. The whole time i was thinking about you Dodie, how similar you and Mia are, and how passionate you are about the film. aghh I loved it!


Honestly the movie changed my life. I've never felt this much emotion for a movie ever. Or really any piece of art ever. It brings so much happiness to my life and inspires me so much. My dream in life is to become a composer but I never thought I could really achieve that so I was aiming for becoming a band director instead since I would still get the chance to compose music but also have a safe job but after seeing this movie I feel so inspired to just go after my crazy dream and I know it's going to be hard but I finally believe in myself especially after learning how long it took this movie to be made. Anything dream is possible to achieve if you work hard enough and never give up and this movie taught me that. I may lose people I love and things along the way but in the end it will be worth it.


I love the reaction shots you got of yourself listening to the soundtrack. I buried my face in my hands at the end of the movie. Audition: The Fools Who Dream is my favorite song as well. I had to contain my tears. And I totally didn't think Mia needed to have music "explained" to her. She simply didn't like jazz until that beautiful moment where she felt it. <br>Was anyone else very disappointed by the way the ending was portrayed?

I watched the film today and ahhh I love it so muchhh! The last scene was probably my favorite because when Sebastian was playing the piano and Mia and her husband walked , when it started showing all these videos of them 2 together, I feel like it was showing what could've happened if they stayed with one another. Then right at the end when they looked at each other and smiled, i'm pretty sure it was in a way telling the other `You made it.`


I am absolutely obsessed with this film and I love it so muchhh!!! The soundtrack has been stuck in my head for the last few days and I love it. I'm going to learn how to tap dance and all of the choreography in the film and I'm buying the whole soundtrack and a poster. I'm obsessed. This film is just incredible.


i watched la la land at my friends house couple months after it came out and i have been dying to see it. i started crying before the movie even started. i cried the whole movie. tears just streaming down my face. i'm in love with la la land. i have never felt this way about a movie before. i can't explain it in words. i love la la land


I felt exactly like you. You 've captured all my feelings with your words and the emotion in your voice while talking about it. I loved it too much. I've always dreamed to become an artist (singer and actress), but because of health and money problems I had to quit singing lessons and the cinema school... and I've ended up studying philosophy, one other thing I love fortunately. Finally things are now starting to get better, I'm healthy and strong again, but time has passed, im 24 and graduating my bachelor this year. I've played the piano for 2 years and kept singing in a gospel choir (my dad is a musician). I don't know if I will still have a chance to become what I'd really want, but im not quitting art. Maybe one day i'll just quit my job and use money to fulfill this dream, though im scared of failure. However La la land told me that it isnt over, I can still make it and I've gotta try again. After the movie I felt stunned for a bit and then once in my bed I burst crying. Not because of the end, but because of what it meant to me.


I saw the movie 3 times in the theater. Had to compose myself before I can walk out of the theater each time. I love this movie so much! It deserves all the praise!!!


You are very right this was a piece of art. The ending mirrored my last year. The most painful thing I've ever been through. I cried at the ending as well


This movie is honestly my favorite movie IN THE ENTIRE FREAKING WORLD OMG I LOVE IT SO MUCH. It's just fantastic, and it's so classy and was almost like a fairytale. And yes, so RELATABLE. It's just wow. So wow.


There were so many times when the soundtrack would become so intense I would feel so overwhelmed by how beautiful it was and would just feel the tears coming even if it was not a sad scene. Here's to the fools who dream was also something I needed to hear on so many levels. Amazing Film !!


I just love so much how it wasn't a happy ending but it showed the happy ending. So it sent me through all of the emotions like being so so so happy to see how it all would've played out for Mia and Seb but the heartbreak that comes when you know it didn't actually happen


I saw it for the first time today and I was crying at the very first song. Honestly it's such a beautiful and inspiring film I can't stop thinking about it.


I watched La La Land for the first time today, on Valentines day and Oh gosh I cried!! the themes and the cinematography... just wow!


literally every moment through out the movie, i was sitting there saying to my self " this is so beautiful"


I'm so late about commenting but I just want to say I feel the same love and passion and just watching this makes me tear up. Honestly I'm extremely obsessed and inlove. Yes okey, bye ♡


WHEN SOMEONE ASKS ME WHY I LOVE LA LA LAND SO MUCH I WILL USE THIS VIDEO AS REFERENCE BECAUSE I FIND IT HARD TO EXPRESS MYSELF WHEN I'M OVER-WHELMED AND THIS VIDEO JUST TOUCHES ON EVERYTHING I LOVE ABOUT THIS BEAUTIFUL FILM


The songs have been stuck in my head for weeks and it's great it's so inspirational it cased so many inspiration springs to open its great I'm dieing it's so good


I literally just saw it and ahhhhhh it's so pretty<br>the perfect moment for me was when seb and mia left the jazz club and went opposite ways AND THEY BOTH LOOKED BACK BUT MISSED EACH OTHER AND OUT WAS PERFECT

It broke me when at the end they showed how their life could of turned out...This movie is so beautiful!


Thank You for this video, I've seen la la land and i was so MOVED. Ok I was crying during this movie and after it and I was so full of many emotions and feelings which I can't describe. And yes I've been changed after seeing it - it motivated me to do something more to make my dreams come true. Oh and I love "Audition" so much and it's so important for me and I listened to it only few times, cause it makes me crying and... I think it's just too special. I'm kind of dreamer and young artist who doesn't know what to do with her life. And I love this metaphore of jumping into the river and not regretting this <3
And okay, I'm a little bit musical-obsessed and I loved the music and the climat of LLL. It's so colourful and jazzy! And I also like these other-musicals-inspirations. And I think this screenplay is so different from many hollywood screenplays.
okay and at last... I'm from Poland, but I've been to LA once and I agree with You - it is wonderful city! of stars :)
sorry for my mistakes, I'm still learning!


I watched the first two minutes of this video when you first published it, paused it, watched the movie yesterday, then finished watching the video now and, as difficult as it was to not have it spoiled, I am SO glad I waiting and I am so happy thinking of the movie.  It's by far my favorite and definitely the little parts you mentioned, especially the movie and dinner scene, made me do the collapsed lung thing.  Art is so odd, I always find the most peculiar, random things to like but when I do, I like them so much my heart doesn't just emotionally hurt but physically burn too and I love it because it's really the only physical emotion I feel that's not poor and i don't know... LA LA Land makes me happy, you make me very happy, i'm just happy right now thank you so so much :)


I started watching this video and 30 seconds later I was like WAIT and went and saw the movie and I am STILL SO EMOTIONAL I burst into tears at the last scene when they looked at each other and ugh I can't

Okay I'm a bit more composed now so CAN WE JUST TALK ABOUT EVERYTHING?! I love how Mia and Seb both helped each other reach their dreams through the support they were for each other. I expected the ending to be like that but it still freaking hurt when they showed the last winter scene and you realized they hadn't ended up together and it just reminded me of something I read once that gets me very emotional every time: "One day, whether you are 14, 28 or 65, you will stumble upon someone who will start a fire in you that cannot die. However, the saddest, most awful truth you will ever come to find is they are not always with whom we spend our lives." .... I'll go cry in bed for a week now bye


i've seen it 4 times and ive never been a big musical fan, but my god is this film amazing. pretty much changed my view on music, films and relationships.


JUST FINISHED WATCHING LA LA LAND AND I LOVED IT WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF ART ❤


I just saw it yesterday and i absolutely balled and lost it at the very end when Mia is about to leave the club and she turns back and they both just give each a warm smile like silently saying to each other "we both found our dreams, even if it didn't include each other" and saying that they're proud of each other


...now I'm crying again because you've managed to put all of the love I just felt in the cinema into words perfectly! <br>This movie was like The Revenant all over again for me...where I just sat in the cinema in awe and went "I want to do this with my life...I want to create such breathtaking, gorgeous, magical pieces of art" in my little foolish dreamer-head! =')

I saw it yesterday. I saw it with some of my friends who thought it was good while I sat there like "wow, that was incredible, that opening number was amazing, everything was amazing, why, how, AGHHHH"


DODIE I've literally just finished seeing la la land and I am sobbing in my room because it's made me so nostalgic. w h y


I saw it a few days ago, and now I'm obsessed with the soundtrack.<br>I walk by the street with the earphones and I want to dance, cry and laugh all the same time...this movie change you and that is the most beutiful hability of movies.

I've watched la la land 14 times and I'm about to watch it again because of this video I love the movie so much 💜💜


just came across this video, I love this film so much I've watched it 8 times now I just cannot get enough of it!


I really also think that La la Land is one of the most beautiful masterpieces that I've seen, it's so good, the colors in the movie, the dancing, the acting, the storyline, the message, it's a mixture of everything I love, it's romance, it's music, it's dance, it's art, it's expression, LA, art and it also has Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone in it that makes it even better because I love both of them so much and they have so much chemestry that it's unreal


my reaction was exactly what you described....I was crying 10 minutes in because of the films beauty! I was sitting between my parents and at the end (I hadn't taken my eyes off the screen before that point) I was a mess and I turned to see both parents looking so concerned and honestly rather judgemental, but I have been talking about it non-stop ever since!


I thought the film was beautiful. Loved all of the aspects of it you mentioned. And I loved that in the end, when they smiled at each other, even though they were heart broken, it was okay because in that moment, they did 100% end up together. And it was okay because even that much was enough. :)
I wouldn't say it affected me as much as it did you. I wasn't crying and maybe it was because my viewing wasn't as immersive. But I loved it all the same. And I might watch it again, to savour all of the little moments.
Something that affected me on your level tho: Landline by Rainbow Rowell. My heart sings and bursts for it. You know how it is ;)


so, i watched it on the 11th, aka like 5 days ago. and i honestly do love this movie so much. i love how they showed everything. the lighting, the little sounds, the everything. ugh. its such a good movie. i really actually like seb's character because it's so realistic. everyone's character is so realistic with realistic problems and all that jazz... (im sorry. it was a good pun at the moment.) i could go on for a while why i like this movie. but i agree with a lot of your points. ALSO. finally a movie where the two leads don't end up together with a kid. I JUST LOVE that ryan and emma don't end up together but i also secretly hate it. idk. i could go on forever. so yeaaah.


I totally got the struggling artist part I was like sobbing about this and my friends where blubbering over the romance an I was over there like "please luv me friends this movie is toooooo relatable"


I love this movie. None of my friends have seen it and I'm like you need to see it! I love the song another day of sun! I really want to go to LA and go to every place they filmed!


oh dodie I started crying when you were talking because I feel the exact same way about this movie that you do,, also your  covers are wonderful ❤


Gosh,thank you so much,I'm so happy there are people who liked it as much as I did....this is basically me explaining my friends why I love La La Land so much,they don't understand


Omg i just... ugh!!!!! I loveeeeeeee la la land, it's definitelly my favorite movie of all timeeeeee.
All of my friends say that it doesn't deserves all the awards it has won, but like HELL YEAH IT DESERVED IT JESUSSSSSSSSSS.
Finally someone who thinks the way i do, thank you, seriously!


The songs are what got me to finally watch it. Now I can't stop listening to it. It's so Singing in the Rain. I feel like I've got to see Whiplash now.


I love the part where Mia is walking through the snow in someone in the crowd


Omg I LOVE La La Land - literally I cry from start to finish every time I watch it - plus at the end my eyes could of been mistaken for Niagra falls - I also kind of hate it because it ends


So my experience was the same as yours, I cryed during this movie and that's quite rare for me. My favorite song was city of stars its the one I song the most. What really got me was how little I cared that no one I was with liked it.

I actually heard your cover of city of stars before I saw the movie, and couldn't help but song along when that scene came up


I've seen it 3 times because of how much I love it, it's so amazing ahh


I JUST SAW IT its so beautiful i love it so much its such a beautiful movie i dont think ill ever stop listening to the soundtrack


it is truly the BEST film I've ever seen, it's gorgeous, and the songs are wonderful


SO RELATABLE 💜💜 ILY I'M OBSESSED TOO!! It's just so beautiful and also the music and the actors and the theme of following your dreams omggg but I didn't like the ending tho I think it shows that you cannot have the love that you want and a succesful carreer, I understand that this also shows how things can go different ways and it's realistic but they could have fought for THEIR love relationship gosh I ship them so much okay


I went to go see la la land today with some friends and HONESTLY BEST THING I'VE SEEN IN A LONG TIME I CRIED SO MUCH


I have seen it a total of 8 times... it IS perfect in every way 😭😭😍😍❤❤


i've been listening this Soundtrack for WEEKS i'm still so in love with this movie💘


I got really sentimental at home when I was listening to the soundtrack, I spent a day crying after watching it


I watched it today FINALLY and as soon as it finished my first thought was I HAVE TO TELL DODIE!!! I've been waiting a month to watch this video and I completely agree with all you said :') It was so good.. It's like nothing I've ever seen before. The music and realism of it blew me away. I particularly liked the part where they start floating.. It was so typically theatrical it fit so well with the theme :3 11/10 would pay to watch it again.


ITS SO GOOD AND HONESTLY IM SO EMOTIONAL I JUST FINISHED IT


I realy love how passionate you are and I agree with everything you said.<br>But the ending broke my heart

I realy love how passionate you are and I agree with everything you said.
But the ending broke my heart


IT WAS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL AND CUTE MOVIE
every single scene I was feeling a new emotion, either I was smiling, singing along or crying
I was really unsatisfied with how it ended but was thoroughly impressed of the ending and later felt it was the best ending possible
As soon as I finished watching it I wanted to watch it again and still can't get the catchy songs out of my head ! I absolutely love jazz and I could relate to Seb when he spoke with Mia about his passion and felt slightly uncomfortable when he started playing "new age" jazz. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU WATCH IT ATLEAST ONCE !


I cried so many times watching that film and was crying after it had finished 😂😂😂😂!


My favorite scene was when he drove to her family house and he yelled at her and her face was all "YOU ARE CRAZY WTF". When he yelled, it startled me and I jumped in my seat. But I just LOVED HOW SUPPORTIVE HE WAS. Like he was so invested in her beautiful dream as much as she was for his, and he couldn't see her not keep chasing it. Also I loved how Mia deeply emotionally connected to Seb's dreams & aspirations. When he was playing at the concert thing, and she was in the crowd watching OBVY DISSAPOINTED AND WORRIED FOR HIM because she knew that wasn't the music he loved and she could see how he had no passion playing that night. GAHHHHHHHHH I SAW THIS FILM TODAY AND I NEED TO SEE IT AGAIN


talk to me about this, I freaking love this movie for so many reasons. It id my favorite movie atm and you have no idea how many times I've said same and me during this video because I relate to all of your points. This movie is amazing and I NEED to talk about it cause AH IT'S SO GOOD


Just saw it - honestly didn't think I'd be so effected by it, Dodie you sum it up 100% I just ah I can't even...MUST GO SEE IT AGAIN! ❤


I watched it with my friend and by the end we were both crying


I SAW IT YESTERDAY I ADORED IT ALL AND A LOVELY NIGHT AND SOMEONE IN THE CROWD AND CITY OF STARS ARE ETERNALLY STUCK IN MY HEAD


At the end when he started playing city of stars I STARTED BALLING MY FUEGO EYES OUT


It makes you feel like so many opportunities in your life have been missed.


I finally watched La La Land today! SO GOOD, ughg.❤


I love the way that if they ended up together Seb would not have achieved his dream but the way that they worked so hard and achieved their individual dreams they didn't end up together which makes it more real and normal💫


I've seen it four times too and I just can't get over it. I agree with you and it's just ahhhh I could just keep watching it T.T


I knew that something great were coming all along this film,but it werent shown in our country thou. I was looking for this film all around internet and some days after I finally found it in good quality...and you know what it satisfied me=) I am still waiting Blue-Ray.


i didn't like la la land as much when i first watched it, but watching u talk so excitedly about it made me see it with other eyes; not my favorite musical, but a damn good movie! and glad it moved you so :)


I know every single one of the songs by heart and I will bust out singing and crying every time I hear any of the songs omggg my favorite song (if I had to pick one) would be the audition song I love it so much I could go on and on about this move but I'm going to go watch it again. Right now. Lol


I've been waiting so long to watch this video and I finally saw it yesterday and I'm in LOVE


OMG I JUST WATCHED IT TODAY I CRIED TOO IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL I CANT


La la land is one of the only movies with the love subject that I really love <3<br>She fell in love in LA? wait I need more information Owo

La la land is one of the only movies with the love subject that I really love <3
She fell in love in LA? wait I need more information Owo


DODIE I KNOW I'M LATE BUT LET'S TALK ABOUT IT! I loved the movie so much and I listen to the soundtrack at least once a day (it' kind like therapy)...


I saw it and came back. I didn't cry, but almost did a couple of times. I left the movie feeling emotional, speechless, and overall odd. I'm not sure what makes it so great, but it just is.


I was in love with the movie but the ending hurt my heart


I love the film and I realised that the songs are similar to yours lyrically and melodically.


I LOVED THE GRIFFITH OBSERVATORY SCENE SO MUCH BC IVE BEEN THERE AND I STOOD IN FRONT OF THE SAME TESLA COIL AND WALKED AROUND THE SAME ROOMS


I cried, really quite alot. On one side i had a friend who had seen it before and so knew how emotional i would get, and then on the other i had someone who 1) didnt know it was a romance/musical 2) didnt like said genres 3) was sighing and groaning every time a new song came one. Even with that I was so affected by the film! (I mean i kinda wanted to punch him but I thankfully didn't, afterall, he would've gotten tears on his face if i had!) :D


I loved the movie! I saw it today for my little sisters birthday. She liked it too.


Just saw it yesterday and I'm so happy I waited to watch this!!!!


I just got back from seeing the movie for the first time...

I HAVE NEVER SOBBED OVER A MOVIE... EVER.

My eyes welled up a little bit, but with La La Land, the whole theatre could hear me and my friends sob.

I just wanted to see it because of the music and the plot, not necessarily the romance. But I was SUCKED INTO THIS MOVIE and I totally forgot everything.

I mainly sobbed because of Mia and Sebastian and their dreams. They want to do something they love and but they don't feel worthy. It's just very relatable. They don't want to be ran, they want to RUN the show, and I really just relate to that.

SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS!

And hey don't end up together either. Mia does get married, but Seb doesn't. Sebastian probably gave up on love, and found a love for what he does instead. I'm asexual, I don't want love. However, I LOVE music. AH, it's just relatable! (I'm not saying Seb is a. I'm just saying what we know of the movie, he's not in a relationship.)


OH MY GOD I FELT THIS WAY TOO BUT I WAS WITH MY FRIENDS AND THEY DIDNT LIKE IT SO I DIDNT SHOW MY EMOTIONS


The kinda flashback of what could have been killed me :( Such a beautiful film.


FINALLY watched la la land because this video has been in my watch later for SO LONG my gosh
anyway yeah i enjoyed the film and i enjoyed the ending but it really did make me sad that they don't end up together, which i already knew before i watched it and so i thought it wouldn't bother me too much especially seeing as i'm so over every single movie starring straight white couples
i think what made me cry is the nostalgia of it all because oh BOY if something is going to make me cry it's nostalgia and i so wanted mia to go over and talk to seb at the very end but at the same time i was like no she can't do that that's way too emotional but oh god she can't just leave and then maybe never see him again that is also way too emotional and yeah the very last minute of the film was just so emotional i think i'm rambling now it's because i literally finished watching it about 20 minutes ago lol


dodieeeeeee in the middle of this video when you mentioned the final sequence where they go through what life would've been i just burst out crying.


the film affected me so intensely that just watching this video has made me cry


Have to say Lovely Night is my favorite song, any plans to cover it dodie? :P


This is honestly the most true video I've ever seen and la la land is the best movie in the whole world. I'm not even exaggerating


yEss I can really relate to Mia, bc I'm also a girl called Mia who's an aspiring actor lol (but also the film is so inspiRING)


was i the only one happy with the ending? like they both got what they wanted career wise, but didnt have each other.


DODIE I CAN RELATE TO ALL OF THIS IM IN LOVE WITH LA LA LAND


IM SO EXCITED because I'm finally seeing the movie tomorrow and tbh I'm mostly just excited to finally be able to finish watching this video because NO SPOILERS PLs


i just finished la la land

minutes
i'm
dying
and
need
immediate
help
11:01-11:14 me at the end of la la land


You can also tell that Sebastian liked Mia because in his conversation with his sister, he talked about how he wouldn't like a girl that doesn't like jazz. However, when Mia told him that she hates jazz, he didn't just walk away. Sebastian showed Mia jazz and brought her into his world and what he loves.


I just watched it.
Alongside the girl I want to be with.
Alongside all the feelings of not wanting "to be with".
So here is the thing, I love in a way in which I don't have limit capacity, I don't want and I can't feel just one, and I love to feel love, with the people I can feel love. Is in me to love, and is in me to find it in many ways in many places. I don't feel ashamed, I feel proud.
And the movie made me sad, it made me happy, and it made me sad. I need to feel like I can be the way I am, because I can't stop being crushed by people who need me to feel like them, and the surrounding images and stories that push me away.
When I first got home, I sat and started writing because I was just having too much doubt and trouble in my head. And I said, "I'm not just shining for you".

The story made me feel that love, the love I felt for the people I loved. And it made me scare, scare for the fact that it wasn't the end, it didn't stopped there, I didn't stick with that meaningful love I felt.
But I try to tell myself my truth, the fact that I love, and how I love to feel love and how just because it’s not the end, doesn’t mean it's meaningless.

But I still struggle with it, by wanting to be with someone who needs me to only feel for her.
And the story made me envious, and the ending made me nervous, because it was real. As real as my struggle was, and as beautifull my fantasy and envy for the beginning was.


When she's in the restaurant with Greg and she hears the music. It's a referens back to when she say that jazz music is always in the background with people talking over it. But now she hears the jazz music over the people talking


Favourite things about "La La Land", Colour palette, throwbacks to old cinema, creative shots, and "Waste of a lovely night".
Least favourite, (nitpicking as now that i think back the parts that werent as good dont seem as bad)  opening sequence seems to only serve the purpose of painting a big neon sign saying "this is a musical", and could be easily cut as it doesnt serve the story.
Also how does this movie make me feel bad for two people who got their dreams? Who's fantasy was that sequence, Seb's or Mia's? And why am I crying?!


"Emma and Ryan are good but they're not Broadway" Fun fact, Emma Stone was in Cabaret and that's another reason I love her so much ahhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!


ive finally watched it and it's so beautiful


but what do you think about the ending ??? and the dream sequence ??? i can't describe how i felt when they didn't end up together.


I watched it for the third time last night. I loooovvvveee La la land!


I cried so much at the end of the movie!


Wouldn't it be hilarious if this was an 11 minute video of her starring at the camera in silence and at the end she just says "because I'm white"?

I MEAN
I LOVE THIS FUCKING MOVIE
THIS MOVIE IS AMAZING

BUT

THAT WOULD BE FUCKING HILARIOUS


i have an extra criticism: Without the jazz element there would be no diversity and !! every character is super la skinny

but la la land is the best film ive ever watched :)


i went to see it today and i loved it so much!  <3


I only have one problem with La La Land and that was the fact that neither of the leads could dance...😂


I was waiting to watch this and holy moly omgomg I cried so so much


I didn't cry, because to the date I've never cried to a film/series/etc, but I just love when films do these things about teaching you that yu can't have all you want, and that some things just can't be: Mia gets her dream, Seb gets his dream, both inspire each other into their dreams, it's so perfect but not perfect at all, because in the end they aren't together, but they being together has changed their lives more than anything else might do. Also, I agree that the artist topic is soo relatable (even though I'm not nearly as much as of an artist as you are) and the fact that, you know, Mia is an actress, but she can design a logo if she wants to, and Seb is a musician but he can judge Mia's acting as well... I just thought that the ending was what it had to be, and it needed to be realistic in order to be relatable.

PD: Another thing, I love how, even if they know the promise will be broken, they still promise to meet again.


You're just way too adorable when you talk about the movie.


I have never loved a film this much. I very rarely cry at movies but I was sobbing, especially after the happy ending sequence because I was just sitting there hoping that maybe all the bad stuff was just a bad dream. BUT THEN IT WENT BACK TO THE CLUB AND HE WAS PLAYIN THE SONG AND JUST UGHHHH. I was genuinely speechless through the entire credits sequence because I just couldn't fathom the things I was feeling.<br>The story of this piece of art was far far too relatable. My partner does film and I'm a musician, and my deepest fears were revealed watching that. I said to him afterwards that I don't want to smile because it happened, I want to smile because it's happening. I've always feared my passion for music would get in the way of my love AND I JUST DONT WANT IT TO AAHHH. I just love it so much and I just run out of the words to describe how it makes me feel. But I could still talk about it for hours.

I GET THAT THEY BOTH FULFILLED THEIR DREAMS BUT THEY DIDNT DO IT TOGETHER AND THATS ALL I FUCKIN WANTED I SHIPPED THEM SO HARD AND THEY DIDNT FUCKIN MAKE IT TOGETGER AHHH I CRIED A FUCK TON


I FINALLY WATCHED IT TONIGHT SO NOW I CAN WATCH THIS VIDEO AAAA IT WAS SO GOOODDDD


I could just talk for hours about this movie! If I could meet you up for coffee we probably be talking there for hours and hours and hours just about la la land


I so happy that someone finally understood me ❤✨


DODIE DODIE DODIE! i finally watched la la land and i wanna talk about it forever i love it and you and oh my god!!!!!


The ultimate message in both Whiplash and La La Land is that the pursuit of the dream will cause you to lose the things that you hold dear. You cannot accomplish your goals without sacrifice, and without compromising what else is valuable to you. In both of these films everything is second to the goal, Whiplash exploring this more aggressively through the struggles of Andrew, and La La Land through the failure of Mia and Sebs relationship.


I've just watched it and then went to this very video! xD I freakin' LOVED it though!


I disagree. I think that the first scene could be better. When you're making a musical you want it to be a musical masterpiece. Sure, Ryan and Emma aren't professional singers but we all know it. It wouldn't make them sound worse if the professional singers sang better because that is literally their job. <br>And I think that in the end Sebastian is more fulfilled than Mia. Sure, she has a lovely house,  husband and daughter and she's on a big poster but we don't see her perform. We don't know if this dream was the dream.

wow such a whimsical, sentimental, youthful, naive, disengaged, hollow review


You remind me of Rory Gilmore, I loved La La Land too. Thanks for sharing your reasons.


OMG I CAME OUT OF THE MOVIE THEATER AND I WAS A MESS LIKE I WAS CRYING SO MUCH OMFG


I know this is a bit late but I see Everyone saying how much they hated the ending but for me, the ending kinda saved the movie for me. Sure, it was good, but it wasn't amazing. I didn't really fall in love with Mia and Seb's relationship but the ending was SO perfect. It was realistic and beautiful. If they had ended up together I definitely would not have liked the film at all.


Dodie I love your videos so much!

But why do you blink like every 2 seconds? 😂
Is it because of the jump cuts?
Lol I can never unsee it
Also I love la la land as well


I loved the song 'Start a Fire' with John Legend ❤❤

Crystal U anyway I'm seeing it for a second time and I bought the soundtrack I'm obsessed.

Jay Debbarma I didn't say it was bad. I said he wasn't authentic within this world. Whether something is good or bad ia completely subjective. Frankly I tune music snobs out as soon as they start saying something is "bad" music.

Helena Young same it kind of bummed me out that they were implying Keith sucks because he isn't authentic enough. But that's John Legend signing, amd that song was entertaining. I enjoy it too, but in different ways.


Mia is lowkey a bad person but I love the movie so much. As for Seb cashing in I don't believe so. You can see that even though he wants the club he kinda enjoys performing for the band and you see that Mia is the one who is distressed. I thought that it was just an example of the fact that sometimes dreams change

@Van Film Who praises them for being perfect?

Mia is far from perfect as is Seb. Anyone that calls either of them perfect is misstaken. Any character that is "perfect" just isn't a realistic portrayal of a person. We watch films and plays and read books so we can hopefully see humanity or even ourselves in them. I like and even related to Mia and Seb because they were both flawed protagonists.

In a way I agree with you. Part of the reason that she doesn't want him to be in that band was that he would be away most of the time, which was selfish on her part. But also I could understand her dismay at the music he was creating with the band, because whatever genre that band was performing, it was not jazz. It had elements of it, but it was too processed to be jazz. It was a new development on the genre, like rock was on blues. The fact that he was so passionate about traditional jazz - the sound of it, the background, the performance setting - and then to see him playing that music on a stage, with music so unlike what he taught her to love, must have been crushing. It wasn't what he'd been dreaming of, it was a means of earning money. He sacrificed what he wanted to be better for her. He enjoys it because he likes being appreciated, and maybe he did enjoy the style, but it's not what he dreamed of. If it was what he truly believed he wanted to do he would not have set up Seb's.

championone2 agreed, but people praise Mia for being perfect and I disagree

Van Film they are all flawed characters and that was the point


she said she fell in love in LA. FELL IN LOVE. IN LA. JESUS.

StupidStuffYouShouldn'tWatch ! Ikr Who is it😝

StupidStuffYouShouldn'tWatch !  I wanna know


OKAY BUT WHO DID DODIE FALL IN LOVE WITH IN LA??

Caya Bennett honestly if they aren't together/never have been i dont mind i dont have any control over what happens obviously. Ultimately i adore them both and just want them to be happy with whoever they want to be with :)

@Cerys Cole I personally think people are taking this too far just because they want Jon and Dodie together so badly.

Caya Bennett if im being honest no i dont know but it all makes so much sense to me! They absolutely tried to make it work and it didn't shown in a love song in paris/a non love song in Nashville. The rest is yes primarily guess work but, dodie said she fell in love in LA and its a reason why she relates hard to la la land. Jon's from LA and im pretty sure they have spent quite a lot of time together. Dodie's second channel vid Pasta is good, life is sad could also be about Jon her wanting a relationship and him not wanting it and it to be casual. Oh would you be so kind? Could also be about Jon especially as she says at the beginning she wrote it in a hopeful way but now it was sad because potentially Jon told her he didn't want to be in a relationship and she did want it between writing the song and recording it. Finally when dodie announced she was going through a breakup Jon was in the UK, it makes sense that they hadn't seen each other since tour in October and wanted to sort everything out face to face. Yes some of this is jumping to conclusions and guess work but honestly it makes perfect sense to me and of course you can disagree, you're entitled to your own opinion absolutely fine this just what i think

+Caya Bennett on his ig a couple months ago he didn't say it in words but its obvious he came out, he had the bi colours In the background and a rainbow sticker on his cheek. His caption also somewhat proves he's in the LGBTQ+ community also I heard someone heard him state he would or has experimented with boys but I'm not sure if that's true

Caya Bennet sorry? can you specify what your referring to

probably.... not our place... to say..... nor is it our business?? feel like she wouldve told us if she wanted us to know so unless its fact please be respectful 💘

okay why did this double in likes in less than 16 hours?

thANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS UP MY HEART ACHES TO KNOW

Thank you so much for undestanding I just also want to add in if Jodie does end up being a thing I ofc am not going to have a problem with it if anyone was wondering I couldn't care less who she was dating whether or not if I ship it it doesn't matter and none of my business but it is nice to see that people would support that being a thing.<br>I'm actually glad I haven't been attacked for stating my opinion (ok now that just sounds rude I'm sorry) believe it or not I'm actually pumped for the collab coming out tomorrow I mean who wouldn't they sound freaking amazing.

I'm actually glad I haven't been attacked for stating my opinion (ok now that just sounds rude I'm sorry) believe it or not I'm actually pumped for the collab coming out tomorrow I mean who wouldn't they sound freaking amazing.

you know what I find funny is that I totally understand where your coming from and very passionate about this ship.
But when I state my opinion I feel like your trying to say I'm not right. Yes I know my recent statement sounds like all of this is bullshit. I totally understand that Jodie could be a real thing and I just dont see it or maybe I do and I'm just in denial because I find it so cliche. For once I just want  for someone to agree with my opinion from the opposite party and we both respect each other  (dont get me wrong I respect all of you) but id just like for once to not get bombarded by facts that could lead to Jodie being totally real. I understand my recent opinion somewhat sounds like I'm trying to prove Jodie isn't real it's not suppose to be. It's me saying that I don't think its real and it's all getting just a bit out of hand.
I'd like to apologize if I'm sounding like a total ass and if none of this is actually making any sense and I've got this all so wrong

Darling_Nicole yeah but you do understand that two people who spend a lot of time together and who have sexualities that would allow them to like eachother, and who have a lot in common, and if you've seen their social media they get along very well, and they're the same age in the same community, it wouldn't be a surprise if they did date. like come on: hormones! dodie is a romantic and jon is sweet as hell. i honestly think its very plausible.

Darling_Nicole You are right about it getting a bit of hand but they did write a love song for each other and if you have her on snapchat she said that she was heartbroken after Jon left so I personally don't think there's nothing between them (or was anyway)

why would you think that? he's not gay hes bi<br>But i still wanna know where you got the idea of him being gay from

why would you think that? he's not gay hes bi
But i still wanna know where you got the idea of him being gay from

Darling_Nicole i really do understand they are real people and its their lifes and yes it would be lovely if it was a thing and im pretty sure it was for a lil bit and now its not and thats totally okay its their lifes

Cerys Cole same the cover is going to mess me up 😭

Amy O Connor but they didn't from what we all know, your all just shippers in love with the idea that Jodie was/is real me personally I don't see it, and I probably never will and it makes me sad and angry to see people assuming a relationship and bringing it up all the damn time, and that's actually quite rude. I understand you all want them together (which I don't) and I do understand you want to show your love for the ship but I feel like it's getting a bit out of hand. not everything around her love life revolves around Jon/Jodie

@Cerys Cole I think u are right , they also made songa for eachother

Amy O Connor i dont wanna start shitty rumours but i believe from their song and the fact dodie said on sc the other day she was going through kind of a break up and jon was with her that they tried to make it work and it just didn't. As dodies said before in some way relationships are complicated/aren't simple

Cerys Cole oh my god i didn't know they dated i thought they were just close friends i'm sh👀k

Musicdarkerthanmysoul because they went out and he lives in LA and now they don't go out and its sad and their cover of city of stars tomorrow is gonna break me


Although it's a lovely film in the context of our world it's SERIOUSLY lacking in diversity! Considering that it's set in modern LA and is about jazz music it's completely nonsensical to not have been more inclusive of gay and poc characters. Super disappointing in a film where it's totally possible/plausible to have a diverse cast. This article makes a bunch of good points in a similar vein! http://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/film/88214104/La-La-Land-is-a-terrible-film-but-it-will-win-Best-Picture-at-the-Oscars-anyway?


i just saw it and i feel like im the only one who is really confused and isnt exactly blown away because of it...


I love the ending oh gosh. Like the fact that it's not a 'happy ending' in terms of a happy ending? Like they don't get together in the end which is so not typical. My entire family didn't like it and I was sitting at dinner with the unpopular opinion of just loving the ending. Because she gets a husband and a child but it's not Seb. Like I just love how the two of them get their dreams but they don't get each other because that's how life works. Like you can't have everything you want. You have to chose. And it's just so beautiful and I love it and ugh okay you probably won't see this I just wanted to vent lol. Hopefully you see this? I just want to know your thoughts on the ending.

I just watched La La Land and I got to the end and I just wasn't sure! But when you realise it's such a realistic ending and so true to life, it's made me appreciate it more!!

For a movie called La La Land, it sure had some harsh realities throughout. I love bittersweet endings.

I didn't want to see this movie because I knew that it's at least partially about a love story, but realizing that they don't get together in the end changes my mind a little bit. Thank you!

Oh my gosh yes exactly it's so raw and realistic and yessss

i didnt like the ending. i understand thst they wanted to be realistic but i dont understand why. the whole point of the movie was making a musical like the old hollywood musicals that are dreamy and make you happy. la la land was based on all those happy musicals so i dont understand why it had to be sad and realistic.

Mary McCasland I loved the ending too. Something my parents mentioned was how she may not have married Seb and that could upset people because of how emotionally attached we are to him, you still see the montage with her husband and it's not like he's a terrible guy, it's not like they're <b>not</b> in love and it seems like he treats her right, so it's all good in the end.

I actually loved the ending but i disliked almost everything before it lol

oh my gosh... thank you for the spoiler.... wanted to watch the movie and you were one of the top comments. :/

I wasn't a huge fan of the ending. I love a good unhappy ending but I found it really weird that Mia was married to a man who seemingly had no idea Seb existed. I also didn't like that it seemed that Mia couldn't be alone - she had 3 relationships in the film and 2 of them did not seem fulfilling - and that Seb couldn't possibly be with anyone else.

yaah exactly!! my mom also didn't like the ending but ughh i fricking love it. the whole movieee

thank you! i agree with you, the ending was perfect because it wasn't. It was a little bit heartbreaking at first but it was also realistic, the same way that they both got their artistic dreams but not in the way they originally expected.

Mary McCasland But the whole point of the movies is for them to have a perfect happy ending, real life is for real endings and for heartbreaks, not beautiful musicals!

Anica Maree I think that's kinda why I like those storylines, they have that element of reality where something didn't go the way you had been expecting it to and it really throws you off, but everything still works out in the end

I agree! And even if they didn't end up together, they helped each other achieved their dreams, and were such wonderful support for each other. Sometimes that kind of relationship with a person is even stronger than marriage!

agghhh i agree so much! I was hoping dodie was going to talk about it, especially how Mia waits a little bit and looks and him and he looks at her and they have these mutual smile of "we did it" and ugh i love it so much its so fresh and realistic

Mary McCasland I love the ending. To me it shows that they loved each other so much to let each other go and pursue their own dreams because they knew how much it meant to them. That is the biggest sign of support imo

Mary McCasland SAME those are my absolute favourite types of endings, and everyone always thinks I'm crazy for it but it's just so great and wow

Mary McCasland I feel the exact same way. It shows how you have to make sacrifices to do what you love and that you can't always get what you want, but you can still be happy in the end.


i honestly feel like i'm the only one who didn't like la la land :/

Zoe Jordan You're right. You're the only one.


AHHHH I SAW IT YESTERDAY AND IM OBSESSSSSSEDDDD 😍😍😍😍😍


I dream -  foolish as I may seem...
my heart can ache, yes - there's been the mess I make...I know of that feeling, the sky with no ceiling...
Perhaps we all live in our 'liquor', and will die with a flicker, (let's always remember the flame)A bit of madness is key, to give us new colors to see!
Who knows where it will lead us? AND THATS WHY THEY NEED US
You    are   not   alone x


I was literally just about to comment this omg ahhahhah

work work angelicaaaAAAA work work ELIZAAAA and peggy

YOU. DO. NOT. UNDERSTAND. I DO FRENCH IN SCHOOL AND I CAN'T COUNT TO 10 WITH OUT WANTING TO BURST OUT CCRYING (brrraaa brrrraaa)

Angelica I have Moana, Newsies, La La Land, and Hamilton.

through the whole video i was just thinking how she's me but with Hamilton

i thought we left that in 2016... darn it


I know I'm a month late, but I felt like too much of this movie was just a revamped Singing in the Rain. It was Singing in the Rain if Singing in the Rain ended with no one giving Kathy any credit for her singing/voiceover. I thought that visually, La La Land was fantastic. But it lacked plot and was really a less funny remake of Singing in the Rain for me


I haven't seen it yet because I live in America

i am so sorry bc its so good, like i honestly think it would be CHARITY to illegally film it and show you (but of course we must support the arts) I HOPE IT COMES NEAR YOU SOOOOOON
