la la land

it's interesting because this movie did get a lot of press attention, but I still feel as though it is underrated in ways.

La la land nowadays is seen as a Golden Globe, faux-Oscar-winner of the 2018 days.

People can hardly remember its plot, and will pick many of the other hot-off-the-shelf big-name shows of today.

However, la la land changed something in me. I was always a huge fan of broadway shows, and movies alike, yet never seemed to like it when the two combined.

Yet I always remember, watching the movie for the first time, hearing the music, seeing the camera action brought me back to when I was a child.

It brought me back to watching music videos, singing in the choir, and telling everyone I was going to be Britney Spears when I grew up.

Although life has not gone the way my 10-year-old self expected, and I had to find another career besides the arts - I always find some things that remind me of my love for music as a child.

And in that theatre, watching La La Land, I somehow felt the music, the hope and joyfulness of my childhood that I hadn't felt in a while.

So yes, I will never stop talking about the movie because it truly made my soul feel magical.
