La La Land
by Damien Chazelle, directed by Damien Chazelle
We convinced the ITTDB muckety-mucks to include La La Land in our list based on
James Bojaciuk’s impassioned argument that Mia and Seb’s love is “so deep they not
only broke time, [but] in the space of a few minutes they lived an entire year and
decided on what their destiny should have been.” Is it actually time travel? Probably
not, but take a look at Bojaciuk’s
blog and read the cited quotes from writer/director Damien Chazelle before you commit
yourself to saying no to Mia, Seb, and La La Land.
