La La Land Review

So, the other day I went and saw the movie La La Land. To be honest, I thought that it would be good, but I didn't realize that it would be that good. The lighting was well done, the music was enjoyable, the dancing was superb, the acting was great!
 The transitions to the musical elements of the film was well done. Especially for someone who is not that into musicals. 
It was impressive all around. Props to the camera operators. 
Damien Chazelle (Also the Director of Whiplash) did a great job with his direction in the way he has taken this film.
Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone have done amazing job's acting in this, in my opinion they really became the characters that they were portraying on the big screen.
You know when you're at the theater and your drink is almost gone and you know if you take another sip, you're going to make a slurping sound, but you think, "I'll just do it quick, besides I'm kind of thirsty, hopefully no one will really pay any attention to it," so you take a quick drink. During the last half of this film I was starting to become thirsty but I felt if I took a drink and there was a slight slurp sound, then I would be insulting the film. Damn that is good filmmaking! 
My only real problem with the film is in the first half were I believe that they could have brought some more realism to the film, but on the other hand this first half of the film felt like it was a big homage to earlier cinema, which it basically was... so I can't really fault it, because it did what it set out to do, it's just a great piece of cinema.


finale score: 4.9/5

Coda Movie Review

Coda Movie Review This Deserved Best Picture So, I just got back from seeing Coda, and it was amazing! This was the second attempt to see this film as the first time, someone booked the entire theater for a private screening. I'm going to take from a summary from IMDB to summarize the plot: " As a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) Ruby is the only hearing person in her deaf family. When the family's fishing business is threatened, Ruby finds herself torn between pursuing her passion at Berklee College of Music and her fear of abandoning her parents." The acting was  phenomenal, the  cinematography was beautiful, and the story was human. The way this film is crafted is nothing short but excellent. I will not that not everything is 100% accurate, but for narrative reasons, I understand the choices they made. The actors have amazing chemistry together. Everything feels natural between them and they all bring their characters to life. No per...
