La La Land
Watched La La Land Saturday Night.
I know I know, a little late to the party. Don’t yell at me, I’ve got two kids
and a two hour commute.
It is a great movie. And while the
ending is harshly bittersweet, the overarching reaction I
had to the movie was laughing.
I thought it was very funny.
Ryan Gosling’s comedic timing is superb.
It’s really kind of annoying how talented he is what with the singing and the
dancing and the acting but, humor too! Not exactly fair.
He and Emma Stone are terrific
actors. Her scene where her audition is interrupted when she is crying is
beyond good.
The home run for me was the
explanation of jazz scene. As a, I wouldn’t call myself a musician, person who
gained some facility on the guitar (enough to be considered a pro-am playing
some larger venues in smaller towns) who gained an appreciation for jazz, this
scene was, while written very concisely yet powerfully, acted such that one can’t
help appreciate both at once – acting and jazz.
Our tots love to watch movies in Mom's Honda Pilot and have commandeered the vehicle's sound system. On sunday morning drives to swim lessons though, they have succumbed, been won over, and have come to expect their little hearts and minds to be filled...by jazz.
