La La Land

Took me a bit to get into but when I did I didn't regret it one bit. I'm not big into musicals at all so when I first tried La La Land I wasn't interested one bit then I gave it a second try and finished it but I zoned out practically the whole time but finally on the third watch I gave it my full Interest and now it's my fifth favorite movie. La La Lands plot kind of goes off The Red String effect. If you don't know what “The Red String effect” is when two people are connected by fate and end up in the same place coincidence because they are “meant for each other” and each time they meet up with each other they get a little bit close a bit farther out of denial. In the movie each time they meet up it's connected to the job that they are currently going for and as they get closer it makes your heart glow a little more just to tear it apart when it's the reason the red string splits between them. The directing in this movie is absolutely flawless I found myself in shock for tons of shots and moments. The acting in this movie is perfect and in the moments when the relationship is at its peak, it has you smiling because it feels like an actual connection when the relationship is coming to an end you are on the edge of your seat hoping that they work it out but deep in your heart you know it won't work out. Overall the movie is impeccable at every mark that a movie needs to meet.
