La La Land Pens A Bittersweet Letter To Those Who Have Loved And Lost; Let's Dive Deep Into The Movie

Anyone who has watched ‘La La Land’ remembers every bit of the last scene where Mia and Sebastian gaze at each other with melancholic eyes and slightly regretful smiles while hues of purple embrace them. From the gut-wrenching theme music to a smooth storyline, the movie narrates a story that you can relate to even when you don’t want to.

The Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling starrer artistic masterpiece has been written and directed by Damien Chazelle. Let us dive deep into the fragility of romantic relationships when they encounter the rigidity of a lifelong dream.

Smart Use Of Colours

‘La La Land’ has been ornamented with vibrant colours assisting in its plot. During the initial encounters of Mia and Seb, we see them dressed up in primary colours - blue, red, and yellow - which reflects their standalone personalities. Once they start dating, their ensembles are dyed with secondary colours like green, pink, purple, etc., to resemble the union of two primary hues. Further, the downfall of their relationship is painted with dull colours like grey to resemble the widening gap between them.

Seasons Of Love

The movie (Family Comedy Movies) has been divided into four parts, similar to the four seasons in a year. Spring, in the movie, begins when Mia and Seb’s interests towards each other ignite while they joke around and tease one another. With summer, their romance blossoms into a comforting tale of love where they enjoy each other’s company and move in together. With the onset of autumn, the romance takes a backseat as real-life atrocities start to kick in; their love gets lost amid the longing to fulfil dreams and build a career. Soon comes the winter and with it dries every leaf, every flower, leaving the couple’s love into nothing but scarring winds.

Career Vs Romance

The struggle between choosing a career or love (Movies About First Love) will forever be relatable, especially for a generation where both people are ambitious and cannot sacrifice their professional feats. ‘La La Land’ has finely embroidered these conflicts on the fabric of life where we get to see a glimpse of how two ambitious people, despite being in love, have to let go to achieve their dreams.

What Could Have Been

During the last part when Mia is a successful actress and has a loving family, she and her husband accidentally stumble into a Jazz club called ‘Seb’s’ whose owner is Seb himself. After lingering pensive eye contact, Seb flows in his favourite piano music’s melancholy and thus begins a parallel life that the couple would have had had Seb travelled with Mia throughout the world while she pursued her career. We discover that their careers may have led to a more fragile path while their relationship would have continued to flourish; either way, it showed how life is all about sacrifices.
