What I think a lot of people miss in the end sequence is that it is not a depiction of “what could have been”. We can see the discrepancies from the reality, the nice manager and there being tons of people watching Mia’s performance to name a few. It is a dream sequence, something that could only happen in a movie, but not in real life. And even there, Seb has to sacrifice his dream of owning a club for Mia’s dream. The movie’s name La-La-Land is not only a nickname for Los Angeles, but also (as defined my Merriam Webster) a “a euphoric, dreamlike mental state detached from the harsher realities of life”. It’s a beautiful play on words. The sequence is their La-La-Land, beautiful, but unobtainable.
@@GiveMeTheRice yes, the story is building up to the idea that they could've had been together but not accomplish their dreams, or sacrifice the relationship for their dream which they chose, the epilogue shows a reality where they didn't have to sacrifice anything, like in traditional (key word) movies, but here in this movie it's both more real and more dreamlike than the traditional movies that the creators of the movie take inspiration from.
The whole sequence plays in his mind while he performs "their" song after he saw her, or maybe it's intertwined images of what could've been from both of them while he plays the song. It's something many of us can relate to, we play an alternate outcome in our heads, knowing it won't make a difference. It's heartbreaking and poetic.
Just wait until you live it. I watched this movie on an airplane coming back from essentially this thing happening to me, somewhat involuntarily. Let’s just say it didnt go well…
Watching Zuff get everything wrong but still somehow get it all just right, and watching Bryce get it right all along, was just awesome! So was watching Rob's reactions to both! You guys did a superb job on this one!
Nominated for 14 Oscars including Best Picture, but won for Best Director, Best Actress, Cinematography, Best Original Score, Best Original Song, and Best Production Design. It almost won Best Picture, but there was mishap as Warren Beatty presented that Oscar for the wrong movie. MOONLIGHT won at the 2017 Academy Awards.
That was a weird night when the wrong movie was announced.... I almost think it was planned. A few years prior Steve Harvey read the wrong winner for Ms Universe and look how much PR that got.... That aside, I saw all best film nominees for 2017 except "Hell or High Water" (just never got around to it) and Moonlight just didn't come across as "Best Film" as well made it was.
@@valleya6114 Oscar winning actress Faye Dunaway(Network) who won over Sissy Spacek in Carrie insisted on reading the card while Oscar winner for Reds Warren Beatty(Sister is double Oscar winner Shirley Maclaine) did not. They both starred in Bonnie and Clyde together which is why they were presenting. Damien Chazelle who also did WHIPLASH another film about music(Jazz) won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar(JK Simmons) but sadly his film Babylon got little love at the Oscars. Although Emma Stone won the Oscar for LA LA LAND, one youtuber thought there was a stronger case for Viola Davis if she put herself in Best Actress for Fences but after years of going without the Oscar she went Supporting knowing it was a better chance for a win which she did. Much like if Michelle Williams had put herself in Supporting Actress for The Fabelmans she probably would have won after many nominations but she chose Best Actress category which she lost to Michelle Yeoh and Jamie Lee Curtis has her to thank for her statuette. I think this takes some inspiration with the colors from the French film The Umbrellas of Cherbourg and the colors/joy of the French film Amelie which is HIGHLY recommended for its humor and philosophy.
And it's crazy that this movie was nominated for so many Oscars. Justin Hurwitz got nominated twice in the same category and a 3rd time for best score. I love Damien Chazelle and I'm glad he keeps Justin Hurwitz in every movie because they're probably 2 of the most talented people in their respective careers
I don’t usually like to rewatch movies where the main couple doesn’t end up together (even if it makes sense) but the journey in this movie is so good that it’s definitely a movie I can watch over and over again.
A movie for movie lovers. As a lil baby creative native to LA, her last audition makes me cry every time - I’m such an LA apologist but when you get it you get it!
for sure. singin' in the rain, the young girls of rochefort, sweet charity, west side story, boogie nights, shall we dance, moulin rouge!, funny face, an american in paris
As a born and raised LA native, this movie is perfection. Such a good love letter to the city 💋 LA is really like this. The magic, the traffic, the parties, the road rage lol. Even the scene at 9:30 is shot in my hometown
someone in the crowd is easily one of the greatest musical pieces of this century, makes me tear up with joy every time I watch it. amazing that this film score was made with a real orchestra just like the early MGM 30s musicals ! that’s def what rob picked up on
The ending never struck me as what could have been, it was always “what we wish would’ve happened but know it never really would’ve went down that way” they both make eye contact and for that split second they both go through what scenario they wish had played out at the same time. one last reminiscing of their love with a touch of regret
There’s something beautiful in a film that teaches you that love isn’t always enough, that people come into your life and inspire but you have to let them go to achieve the life you want and be the person you want to be but can’t do it together. If youd like to see another Gosling romance film, I suggest Blue Valentine
I watched this for the first time like two weeks ago and I was both in love and crushed by it! Had a crazy stressful week and ur videos are just the perfect remedy!!!!! Love your vids and you guys ❤️❤️❤️
Pasek and Paul who worked on the music for this, also did songs for The Greatest Showman and Dear Evan Hansen. They would be good to react to if you haven't seen them. Those two and LaLa Land are some of my favorite movie musicals. I know DEH wasn't received well but I really liked it.
I really wanted to like The Greatest Showman and was surprised at how little I cared for it. There were some good songs in it, but I just remember feeling like it dragged on for far too long. One of the few movies where I don’t understand the hype surrounding it. Still haven’t seen Dear Evan Hansen, but I know it’s sad, so I’ve been putting it off.
@@IndieCindy3 I have to agree. The Greatest Showman is probably one of the weaker musicals in terms of actual plot and writing. It doesn't take away from how amazing the songs are though. A Million Dreams and The Other Side are 2 of my favourite musical songs. The cast is also stacked which is probably also why it's so popular; it's hard to hate a Zendaya movie
I didn't think I would enjoy this movie when I first heard about it but I remember watching it for the first time in class at a new school I went to in high school and I was shocked by much I actually liked it. This movie and story was really great and although the ending is sad, I appreciate it a lot because it was realistic 💯
Great reaction! The director stated that the film is really dedicated to all of the creatives trying to make their dreams come true. He said everyone that makes it has that someone along the way who helped them in the beginning and inspired them along the way. They don't both always make it or end up together but you never forget the person who supported your dream. I think these characters will always love each other for what they were to each other in the beginning of their journey.
What too many people don't know; or forget or over look, was the fact Ryan was one of group of children hired by Disney for the second version of The Mickey Mouse Club. Him; along with Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and JC Chasez (N'Sync), all worked together on the show. A show where everyone sings and dances. You have to be a Triple Threat; to be a Disney Star. Most of Ryan's roles after didn't request him to sing; as he wanted to be an actor, where the other 3 wanted a singing career. But it doesn't mean he didn't have the talent to be a singer.
The last look they gave each other, so beautiful, what they had led them to their dreams coming true. They'll always share that memory while being at a good place in their lives, we all have people we love from a distance. Their story did have a happy ending but we still got the "La La Land" version of their story towards the end where they end up together. This is like a poem in 3 parts: to Cinema, to Los Angeles, and to Love, definitely Oscar material. Love this movie, a rare modern Hollywood classic.
I think another way to look at the ending (to you keep you from being just depressed by it) is that there is nothing to suggest that both of them aren’t happy overall. She has her baby and her husband and they seem happy together. He has his club. That means that there is not just one happy ending for people. Yes, we would have liked for them to end up together obviously, but just because it wasn’t that happy ending doesn’t mean they didn’t get a happy ending. There are a million different ways our lives can go, some of them happy and some of them sad. Luckily for them they get to have their happy endings and also have the happy/bittersweet memories of each other.
It bugs me when people call this a sad ending. I don't see it as a sad ending at all. Bittersweet, sure, but you can tell Mia and Sebastian are both happy with where their lives are at, as well as happy to see the other achieve their dream. They do still love each other and I think the dream sequence shows both of them imagining how things could have been if they stayed together, but they're both content to let each other go
The pink haze sunset is actually something that is very particular to LA because of the pollution, so it creates these spectacular sunsets. This movie is an homage to old Hollywood movies, struggling artists, as well as to LA itself. When they leave the movie theater, they drive up to the Griffith Observatory, one of the most iconic buildings in LA. We have a lot of art deco buildings all around LA. I cried like a baby when I watched this in theaters for the first time (in LA, might I add). I'm glad ya'll liked it. It was serendipitous how I watched this on the plane last night but I landed right as she got to Seb's, so glad I got to finish it with y'all.
To be honest when I first saw this movie in theaters I wasn't a big fan of it, and I usually LOVE musicals. Rewatching it with you all made me appreciate it so much more and I just think the ending is beautiful. Also, if y'all ever want to watch something else that Tom Everett Scott (Mia's husband/Conrad and Jere's dad) has been in, I highly highly recommend That Thing You Do! He's the main character and Tom Hanks also directed it and was in it as well. One of my favorite movies!
OMG you really haven't seen this till now? 😭 This movie!! ugh 💕 I sobbed when i watched it first time. I invited all my girls out to the cinema in 2016, and at the end i was the ONLY one sobbing. like ladies, are you soulless ? how are you not crying. granted, i WAS the only one who had tried to lose "the love of my life" and maybe if you have not tried that, the scene at the end won't destroy you as much... idk. 😄 this movie is magic. it's very close to perfection in my book. I am such a fan of movies, how they are made, and how well they are executed and THIS movie, always leaves me feeling like i am in love with cinema again. 💕
Another awesome video! I love this movie because of the ending when they both looked at each other smiled because you could tell a lot from that. Even though they don’t have each other like they did before, they knew that they both reached their dreams in the end and that mattered the most in this movie
the dance in the stars is saur romantic omg ladies if he doesnt make you float up to outer space and waltz in the milky way with you he is not the one 😤
Y’all should watch That Thing You Do! It’s a movie about a band and the guy who is the dad from the summer I turned pretty is the drummer. It’s a Tom Hanks movie.
Mia's husband was played by the main character in the movie "That Thing You Do", written and directed by Tom Hanks about a fictitious one hit wonder band in the 60's. The really cool thing is that the character in the movie was a HUGE jazz fan and went into great detail about the history of jazz and how it inspired him to play the drums. I thought it was really cool that they used this actor , from a 20 year old Jazz inspired movie for this bit part.
It was intentional! The director is a huge fan of That Thing You Do and was influenced by it, and he and the leads quoted it throughout the making of this movie 😂 When thinking who could be good enough to marry Mia he thought “has to be Shades”
One of the very few movies I can watch anytime and never get tired of it. SUCH a sad ending but I love that it didn't give us what we wanted, it instead gave us a portrait of what life really is and that we can't have the best of both worlds. We have to make choices and sacrifices. Beautiful story told through a beautiful genre with a classic old Hollywood feel. They don't make movies like this anymore ❤
Zach has a great singing voice! And I couldn’t help but laugh when he nonchalantly pulls out his gallon size hydroflask to rehydrate! Great job as usual by all.
Idk if you guys have already done it but you should react to the movie “that thing you do”! The actor who plays Mia’s husband at the end, plays a drummer in that movie set in the 60s and the music and vibes give Beatles. It’s a really good one! Directed and starring Tom hanks
you should definitely do more musicals! my favorite film of all time is actually a movie musical with Andrew Garfield called Tick Tick Boom. Andrew was nominated for an oscar for this role (and in my opinion should have won it) Most musical theater fans will say Tick Tick Boom is one of the best movie musicals ever made. in addition though i’d say the new west side story and in the heights are two amazing movie musicals.
Ahhh I’m sooo happy! One of my all time favorite movies, it quite literally changed me as a person lol! The music, the story, the actors, the everything. I’m so very glad you guys are getting to react to this 😆
the first scene where they are singing in traffic is to represent the mindset of the people coming to LA that its gonna be a party, every day will be sunshine for people. and often times its nothing like that :}
Immense thanks to Bryce, Rob & Zuff! 🌴 I love this one soooooooo much... very relatable. Plus the performances, production design and songs... top-tier. All hail the cast, crew, composer Justin Hurwitz and director Damien Chazelle. ෴ Yes, do more musicals, please.
You can't always have your cake and eat it too. Dreams and goals in life come with a price and certain sacrifices whether its love, family, money, etc. Choices are made and one thing or another will fall by the wayside..
It baffles me to this day that Ryan gosling played the piano by himself in the meeting scene!!! He went through months of training for it and he killed ittttt!!!!!!
I watched this song last night and absolutely loved it, I think Seb and Mia are absolutely adorable together and I was smiling practically the whole movie, I even almost cried of happiness at some parts. I cried over this movie twice, when Mia was giving up on her dream and drove away from Seb, and when Seb started playing their theme after "Welcome to Seb's" 😭
Ryan Gosling not getting the girl in the end just feels wrong! 😔 Please check out The Greatest Showman, I’m not much for musicals but I loved it! 🥰 LA sunsets in the summer do get this beautiful! 🌅 💕
I think it’s moving that Mia finally found another man who was better for her and having a child together and making peace with and moving on from her past. :) Very inspirational. I’ve been where she has and it is encouraging and heart warming.
i replayed 24:08 - 24:24 multiple times 😂 i was folded over in tears from laughing so hard for several minutes 😂 you guys are absolutely hilarious x thank you so much for all the hard work you guys do + bringing warmth, smiles and laughter to so many of our lives 🤍 happy december! 🎄 i hope you are having an amazing weekend thus far! x
I’m also Team La La Land. I watched Moonlight and loved it; really superb film with poignant performances. But that’s just it: the performances are largely what make that film. Meanwhile, La La Land had two wonderful performances by Ryan and Emma, as well as stunning cinematography, an entirely original and fantastic soundtrack, a beautiful score, and more. And even though it didn’t win, I feel like it is the more loved and talked about film. It is so re-watchable, unlike Moonlight which is slow-paced and melancholy.
When this movie came out I was heartbroken from events in my life, so it hit me x2 Watch it many times back then Now can't re-watch it , don't want to remember
You guys should text to the The third movie that Ryan and Emma are in together called Gangster squad. It didn’t get the best reviews but I liked it. And emmas husband in this movie was in a film called that thing you do which is really good and you should watch that too. It’s got music as well
Sebastian made the suggestion for her to write/perform her play in the first place. No one did he give her the tough love to go to the audition, she likely wouldn’t have been asked/found without that play. They found each other for a reason and a season 😢
The first time I watched this movie, I was immediately hooked. My parents didn’t like it, they aren’t huge musical fans. But I rewatched it so many times, and listened to the playlist over and over. I absolutely love this movie! No matter how soul crushing the end is 😅 If you guys want to react to another musical, I suggest Tick, Tick… Boom! Or maybe even Hamilton 🤷🏻♀️
1. Vanity Fair's CZcams channel has a video where the choreographer of La La Land breaks down how they did the first dance sequence on the freeway [there's some hidden edits]. It's a great watch. 2. The actor who plays Emma Stone's love interest at the end of the film (Tom Everett Scott) is also in the comedy TV show "I'm Sorry" which is pretty hilarious and [though cancelled prematurely after only 2 seasons] is only 20 eps so easy to binge on streaming.
Not kind of. Griffith Observatory **is** an L.A. landmark (and admission is free). And yeah, , surrounding it is Griffith *Park* which is a famous/popular hiking location-the Hollywood sign is around there, as is the L.A. Zoo, and the Greek Theatre (an outdoor venue that’s one of the best to go see a concert).
It's interesting how in the whole movie they give more attention and compliments to Ryan... exactly the same thing happened in their reaction in the movie Barbie... it's as if they didn't take into account the female character of the two movies. Very interesting.
You need to watch That thing you do. It’s a music movie but not really a musical per se, that has the person Emma stones character ends up marrying and has Tom hanks in it. Tom Hanks doesn’t sing btw
Please watch That Thing You Do about a one hit wonder band, directed, written and acted by Tom Hanks. Great songs, great jazz and you will come to appreciate Mia's husband better. Emma Stone knows this movie off by heart
I have such a stressful week this week, that I was terrified for Sunday to end. I saw that you guys are putting out a movie for the first 25 days of December/"25 days of Christmas" and was so overjoyed. I literally, check my phone every couple hours waiting to see what reaction you are posting next. Thank you for being such a beacon of light in a really dark time for me, right now.
This, and "(500) Days of Summer" fall into a story well I find really interesting.... not finding "Mr. Right", or however you want to call it... but the one just before. I think often, there is a "failed" relationship that people wished would have turned out different, but truly set them up, to grow, to be ready for the next one, the Mr. or Ms. right.
Great reaction! I'd like to suggest another Oscar-winning musical that I think you'd appreciate: "Cabaret" from 1972. Amazing direction and performances by Liza Minnelli and Joel Gray. Some dark themes but definitely worth it.
The brother talking on the phone at the dinner actually DID play a younger Liam Neeson in dark knight rises! He was also the double for Armie Hammer’s character in the social network and had a scene as the student trying to go to the bathroom after mark and his friend hookup in the bathroom!

They do still love each other and I think the dream sequence shows both of them imagining how things could have been if they stayed together, but they're both content to let each other go
I remember watching this in the theatre and being absolutely mesmerised. Reminded me of the many Hindi movies I grew up watching.
Sameee. And omg I see you commenting on almost all the videos I watch. It's become almost like seeing a friend at a party after a long time. 😅 Hey!
@@bidishah Hello! Nice to see you here
The pink haze sunset is actually something that is very particular to LA because of the pollution, so it creates these spectacular sunsets. This movie is an homage to old Hollywood movies, struggling artists, as well as to LA itself. When they leave the movie theater, they drive up to the Griffith Observatory, one of the most iconic buildings in LA. We have a lot of art deco buildings all around LA. I cried like a baby when I watched this in theaters for the first time (in LA, might I add). I'm glad ya'll liked it. It was serendipitous how I watched this on the plane last night but I landed right as she got to Seb's, so glad I got to finish it with y'all.
I LOVE THIS MOVIE, but it hurts so much to watch the enddddddd
This has to be the funniest commentary you’ve done in a while
I was dying laughing non stop
To be honest when I first saw this movie in theaters I wasn't a big fan of it, and I usually LOVE musicals. Rewatching it with you all made me appreciate it so much more and I just think the ending is beautiful.
Also, if y'all ever want to watch something else that Tom Everett Scott (Mia's husband/Conrad and Jere's dad) has been in, I highly highly recommend That Thing You Do! He's the main character and Tom Hanks also directed it and was in it as well. One of my favorite movies!
I was absolutely sobbing by the end of the movie. That ending sequence hurt so much 😭😭
OMG you really haven't seen this till now? 😭 This movie!! ugh 💕 I sobbed when i watched it first time. I invited all my girls out to the cinema in 2016, and at the end i was the ONLY one sobbing. like ladies, are you soulless ? how are you not crying. granted, i WAS the only one who had tried to lose "the love of my life" and maybe if you have not tried that, the scene at the end won't destroy you as much... idk. 😄
this movie is magic. it's very close to perfection in my book. I am such a fan of movies, how they are made, and how well they are executed and THIS movie, always leaves me feeling like i am in love with cinema again. 💕
The energy was *immaculate* in this one 🤌🏼 17:16 killed meeee 😂😂😂
Zuff is a good singer.
I love this movie.
omg i remember watching this movie with my sister and we were so crushed at the end we talked abt it for a whole WEEK straight 😭
Another awesome video! I love this movie because of the ending when they both looked at each other smiled because you could tell a lot from that. Even though they don’t have each other like they did before, they knew that they both reached their dreams in the end and that mattered the most in this movie
the dance in the stars is saur romantic omg ladies if he doesnt make you float up to outer space and waltz in the milky way with you he is not the one 😤
Y’all should watch That Thing You Do! It’s a movie about a band and the guy who is the dad from the summer I turned pretty is the drummer. It’s a Tom Hanks movie.
Mia's husband was played by the main character in the movie "That Thing You Do", written and directed by Tom Hanks about a fictitious one hit wonder band in the 60's. The really cool thing is that the character in the movie was a HUGE jazz fan and went into great detail about the history of jazz and how it inspired him to play the drums. I thought it was really cool that they used this actor , from a 20 year old Jazz inspired movie for this bit part.
It was intentional! The director is a huge fan of That Thing You Do and was influenced by it, and he and the leads quoted it throughout the making of this movie 😂 When thinking who could be good enough to marry Mia he thought “has to be Shades”
@@Wigfield84 Very cool. I assumed It wasn't a coincidence but didn't know the background. 👍
Actually my favorite movie ever!! The soundtrack is just so beautiful and it really is just truly a masterpiece.
i cry every single time i see that ending
One of the very few movies I can watch anytime and never get tired of it. SUCH a sad ending but I love that it didn't give us what we wanted, it instead gave us a portrait of what life really is and that we can't have the best of both worlds. We have to make choices and sacrifices. Beautiful story told through a beautiful genre with a classic old Hollywood feel. They don't make movies like this anymore ❤
zuff killed me this video like 😭
Zach has a great singing voice! And I couldn’t help but laugh when he nonchalantly pulls out his gallon size hydroflask to rehydrate! Great job as usual by all.
Yes to more musicals on the channel! 👏🏽
Idk if you guys have already done it but you should react to the movie “that thing you do”! The actor who plays Mia’s husband at the end, plays a drummer in that movie set in the 60s and the music and vibes give Beatles. It’s a really good one! Directed and starring Tom hanks
you should definitely do more musicals! my favorite film of all time is actually a movie musical with Andrew Garfield called Tick Tick Boom. Andrew was nominated for an oscar for this role (and in my opinion should have won it)
Most musical theater fans will say Tick Tick Boom is one of the best movie musicals ever made.
in addition though i’d say the new west side story and in the heights are two amazing movie musicals.
omg YES tick tick boom is amazing
@@lucia-fj6nc it deserves so much more recognition!!’
so happy yall finally did this one!!
Ahhh I’m sooo happy! One of my all time favorite movies, it quite literally changed me as a person lol! The music, the story, the actors, the everything. I’m so very glad you guys are getting to react to this 😆
“Bryce won the bet”💀
Rob! You look amazing with this haircut!!!!!!!
*In The Heights is a great movie musical that you guys should watch. The songs are by Lin-Manuel Miranda, too.*
Now that I know you guys are open to musicals, I would love to see your reactions to Hamilton and West Side Story (either version)! Please? 🥹
the first scene where they are singing in traffic is to represent the mindset of the people coming to LA that its gonna be a party, every day will be sunshine for people. and often times its nothing like that :}
Was just thinking about this movie! So thrilled you guys are getting to see this wonderful movie for the first time
Immense thanks to Bryce, Rob & Zuff! 🌴 I love this one soooooooo much... very relatable. Plus the performances, production design and songs... top-tier. All hail the cast, crew, composer Justin Hurwitz and director Damien Chazelle. ෴ Yes, do more musicals, please.
Moulin Rouge, Across The universe, and bc I grew up in the 80s gotta love Rock of Ages. Three of my favorite musicals
You can't always have your cake and eat it too. Dreams and goals in life come with a price and certain sacrifices whether its love, family, money, etc. Choices are made and one thing or another will fall by the wayside..
16:46 That Moment was GOLD!
why did i blush at rob giving kisses at 28:12
It baffles me to this day that Ryan gosling played the piano by himself in the meeting scene!!! He went through months of training for it and he killed ittttt!!!!!!
I watched this song last night and absolutely loved it, I think Seb and Mia are absolutely adorable together and I was smiling practically the whole movie, I even almost cried of happiness at some parts. I cried over this movie twice, when Mia was giving up on her dream and drove away from Seb, and when Seb started playing their theme after "Welcome to Seb's" 😭
The songs in this movie are incredible.
Ryan Gosling not getting the girl in the end just feels wrong! 😔 Please check out The Greatest Showman, I’m not much for musicals but I loved it! 🥰
LA sunsets in the summer do get this beautiful! 🌅 💕
I think it’s moving that Mia finally found another man who was better for her and having a child together and making peace with and moving on from her past. :) Very inspirational. I’ve been where she has and it is encouraging and heart warming.
25:16 I'M DEAD LMFAOOOO
'are you sure? bc i rmb looking up this actor and thinking "wow hes in NOTHING" ' LOOOOL that roast took me out
i replayed 24:08 - 24:24 multiple times 😂
i was folded over in tears from laughing so hard for several minutes 😂
you guys are absolutely hilarious x thank you so much for all the hard work you guys do + bringing warmth, smiles and laughter to so many of our lives 🤍
happy december! 🎄 i hope you are having an amazing weekend thus far! x
That bit had me crying 😂😭
That’s where I’m currently at and I just keep replaying 😂😂😂 can’t get over it. They’re so hilarious… love them
“Is this a musical or a tapdacical?”
I love that 😂😂😂
Thanks for reviewing "La La Land." I still think it should have won Best Picture in that it was the most unique film ever made!
I’m also Team La La Land. I watched Moonlight and loved it; really superb film with poignant performances. But that’s just it: the performances are largely what make that film. Meanwhile, La La Land had two wonderful performances by Ryan and Emma, as well as stunning cinematography, an entirely original and fantastic soundtrack, a beautiful score, and more. And even though it didn’t win, I feel like it is the more loved and talked about film. It is so re-watchable, unlike Moonlight which is slow-paced and melancholy.
Pump the breaks. Go watch some of IMDB's Top 100 movies before you call this the most unique film ever made.
When this movie came out I was heartbroken from events in my life, so it hit me x2
Watch it many times back then
Now can't re-watch it , don't want to remember
I usually really enjoy Zuff's random comments throughout the videos but this was a bit too chaotic, even Rob and Bryce seemed annoyed at one point.
YES FINALLY! One of my all time favorite movies! Please react to Lady Bird next!
YESSSS THANK U IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG
You guys should text to the The third movie that Ryan and Emma are in together called Gangster squad. It didn’t get the best reviews but I liked it. And emmas husband in this movie was in a film called that thing you do which is really good and you should watch that too. It’s got music as well
YESS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
brill, i need to revise this movie for my film exam and now i can do it with you guys
“Ahhh who’s this joker?”😂😂
Zuff and his big ass water bottle 😭
"is this a musical or a tap dance-sicle?" 😂😂😂
Sebastian made the suggestion for her to write/perform her play in the first place. No one did he give her the tough love to go to the audition, she likely wouldn’t have been asked/found without that play. They found each other for a reason and a season 😢
The first time I watched this movie, I was immediately hooked. My parents didn’t like it, they aren’t huge musical fans. But I rewatched it so many times, and listened to the playlist over and over. I absolutely love this movie! No matter how soul crushing the end is 😅
If you guys want to react to another musical, I suggest Tick, Tick… Boom! Or maybe even Hamilton 🤷🏻♀️
zuff imitating ryan and emma's hand scene took me tf out bro😭😭 hes so silly
1. Vanity Fair's CZcams channel has a video where the choreographer of La La Land breaks down how they did the first dance sequence on the freeway [there's some hidden edits]. It's a great watch.
2. The actor who plays Emma Stone's love interest at the end of the film (Tom Everett Scott) is also in the comedy TV show "I'm Sorry" which is pretty hilarious and [though cancelled prematurely after only 2 seasons] is only 20 eps so easy to binge on streaming.
I've been to LA people are definitely singing and dancing in traffic but they are usually homeless and high af.
Just to add on the the place seb and Mia, first kissed was the Griffith Observatory (it’s kind of a landmark and LA and you can hike up there)
Not kind of. Griffith Observatory **is** an L.A. landmark (and admission is free). And yeah, , surrounding it is Griffith *Park* which is a famous/popular hiking location-the Hollywood sign is around there, as is the L.A. Zoo, and the Greek Theatre (an outdoor venue that’s one of the best to go see a concert).
@@IndieCindy3 Ik I live in silver lake - I worded it horribly, but yes
I have deluded myself into thinking they end up together
I laughed so hard at you guys roasting each other. 😂
It's interesting how in the whole movie they give more attention and compliments to Ryan... exactly the same thing happened in their reaction in the movie Barbie... it's as if they didn't take into account the female character of the two movies. Very interesting.
I thought I was the only one that noticed.
You need to watch That thing you do. It’s a music movie but not really a musical per se, that has the person Emma stones character ends up marrying and has Tom hanks in it. Tom Hanks doesn’t sing btw
I cant not cry at the end
When I tell you this movie rewired my brain chemistry when I first saw it. I sobbed like a baby during the song Here's to the Fools.
Please watch That Thing You Do about a one hit wonder band, directed, written and acted by Tom Hanks. Great songs, great jazz and you will come to appreciate Mia's husband better. Emma Stone knows this movie off by heart
Beautiful movie. One of my faves
YAYYYYY NEW REEL TIME! WE UP
The girl in the yellow dress was Araminta/Minty from ‘Crazy Rich Asians’.
I have such a stressful week this week, that I was terrified for Sunday to end. I saw that you guys are putting out a movie for the first 25 days of December/"25 days of Christmas" and was so overjoyed. I literally, check my phone every couple hours waiting to see what reaction you are posting next. Thank you for being such a beacon of light in a really dark time for me, right now.
This, and "(500) Days of Summer" fall into a story well I find really interesting.... not finding "Mr. Right", or however you want to call it... but the one just before. I think often, there is a "failed" relationship that people wished would have turned out different, but truly set them up, to grow, to be ready for the next one, the Mr. or Ms. right.
This movie is my Roman Empire
Great reaction! I'd like to suggest another Oscar-winning musical that I think you'd appreciate: "Cabaret" from 1972. Amazing direction and performances by Liza Minnelli and Joel Gray. Some dark themes but definitely worth it.
The brother talking on the phone at the dinner actually DID play a younger Liam Neeson in dark knight rises! He was also the double for Armie Hammer’s character in the social network and had a scene as the student trying to go to the bathroom after mark and his friend hookup in the bathroom!
Ryan gosling is in a band himself and is actually a very good musician
