I don't think I have ever been in love with a movie, like I'm in love with La La Land. From the first few seconds, till the very end. This movie had me and didn't let go. My english vocabulary is not good enough to express my love, heck, my dutch vocabulary is not good enough to express it. This movie is everything.
It is beautiful, happy, magical, romantic and I could go on for a little while longer but I won't. I wasn't expecting it to be this musical-y, but I mean, I love musicals so I'm not complaining. I think this is a great "musical" because there isn't non stop singing, so people who don't like musicals might like this one because it's more "subtle". I can only imagine how much practice went into all those dance routines and don't get me started on the impressive piano skills Ryan Gosling showed us.
Something that really impressed me as well was the way they filmed everything. It's a very creative and different way, which I really enjoyed and think makes this movie a great inspiration for those who love film and camerawork themselves. The build up and flashbacks and stuff were really cool as well. Yea I really enjoyed that. Also, the storyline, which does so much for a movie, was so great.
This is normally the part were I talk about the actors, but seeing that there were mainly only two actors and they were both amazing (I do think tho, that Ryan Gosling his character wasn't a very challenging one for him because we have seen him in roles like these before. Mixing it up with all the dancing, singing en piano playing though, you got something quite different and I loved it), I'm going to skip this part and say that you should watch this movie, do nothing more, just watch it, enjoyed it and love it.

@1984goam I just watched the video, it was cool to see the references and how they thought everything out. I watched Gigi this weekend so it was cool to see La La Land and Gigi next to each other as well. Thanks for the recommendation, I really enjoyed it! :-D
For me personally, this was a very interesting movie. I hadn't heard of this event before because I was a bit too young when it happened I guess. The Wallstreet world is very interesting and complicated, and I find it to be quite Intriguing. This movie is a bit of an inside in this financial world, even though it's not a very positive story.
The storyline itself was very well done, and so was the acting. Robert De Niro was brilliant, you could see that he got frustrated once someone asked him about his work, because he was keeping this huge secret for everyone, and it started taking its toll. He could be so friendly to people, but then he would just snap to the people who are closest to him. De Niro did a very good job.
I don't really understand why they decided to go with the "we-tell-the-story-through-an-interview" type of storyline because I didn't really know who the woman was that interviewed him, and we didn't get to know a lot about her or her work. So that's still a bit vague for me. Apart from that, a very interesting and well-done film I would for sure recommend!
