I couldn't agree more. This movie is such a sweet, lovely breath of fresh air—a deliriously delicious escape from the dark and troubled times we are living in, especially as we approach the dreaded inauguration. You will we swept away by the kind of romance and cinematic magic we haven't seen since Hollywood's golden era. If you love watching old movies and yearn for the romantic swoon of a Frank Capra film, stop whatever you're doing and go see this "picture" pronto. Ryan Gosling has all the down home charm of Jimmy Stewart, plus the tough guy sensitivity of James Dean and when Emma Stone sings her heart out, it brings to mind a young Judy Garland singing"Somewhere over the rainbow" or perhaps Natalie Wood singing "Somewhere." I predict this movie wins big at the Oscars and perhaps heralds in a new genre in filmmaking. Enough with the mind-numbing action films and the cynical plots that shock and disturb us ad nauseum. It's time to enjoy going to the movie theater again. Come on people, let's dance!
Palmer Davis, thank you for this delightful and thoughtful comment about "La La Land." Yes, let's get back to films that transport us back to dancin' and romancin'.
