I chose La La Land as my favourite film for three main reasons. The first reason being the ending of the film. It is one of the only films that takes an unconventional route by not presenting a ‘boy gets girl and everything is peachy’ stereotype impede a realistic and natural relationship irrespective of the impact of the ending on the audience. The second reason is the cinematography, mainly the lighting. I loved the lighting because this was the first time I actually noticed the lighting as a vocal point and enhancing the story. The third reason is that is that I enjoyed the story line of the characters fulfilling their dreams even with very real obstacles in their way, this resonated with me.
