La La Land

For me, the ending of this movie is perfect. As much as it makes me want to rip out my hair it’s just so painful realistic and for me that’s what makes La La Land such a beautiful film. It shows that no matter how much you love someone there will always be something or someone stopping you from spending the rest of your life with them. For Mia and Seb to truly follow their passions in life, they were never going to be able to fulfil those dreams together. If they were to remain together they would grow to resent each other as one of them would have to forfeit their life’s purpose so the other would be able to become successful. It’s about dreams and how they had to leave each other and focus on themselves and no matter how many times the universe brought them together they just weren’t meant to be and that’s what makes the movie so captivating. I just could never imagine loving someone so much like that only to not end up with them, but that’s life and we all have to learn to move on.  They way colour is used to represent their lives is again amazing. The colours alone tell a story, especially in the beginning when Mia and seb first meet they’re complete opposites (primary colours) and as we move further into the story we begin to see the colours mixing and it shows the different emotions they face when in the relationship. In the final scene it is a purple ambient light and as we see Mia leave the bar with tears in her eyes and slight smile, they both agree that they’re both thankful for what the have brought each other and they know that they owe each other everything.
