LA LA LAND: BEHIND THE SCENES WITH THE ACTORS FYC (FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION)
La La Land, directed by Damien Chazelle, is a vibrant and captivating musical that pays tribute to the golden age of Hollywood while also echoing the struggles of contemporary artists. The film not only showcases stunning cinematography and a memorable score but also delivers a powerful narrative about dreams, love, and the sacrifices one makes to achieve their aspirations.
In this behind-the-scenes exploration, we delve deeper into the experiences of the key actors who brought this mesmerizing story to life. With their unique approaches to their roles, they each contributed significantly to the film's success.
Emma Stone as Mia Dolan: Emma Stone's portrayal of Mia, an aspiring actress, is both enchanting and relatable. Stone underwent extensive preparation for her role, which included taking singing and dancing lessons to master the musical numbers. Her commitment is evident in the poignant scenes where Mia auditions, expressing not just her talent, but also the intense vulnerability that comes with pursuing a dream. Furthermore, Stone's chemistry with co-star Ryan Gosling added depth to their on-screen romance.
Ryan Gosling as Sebastian Wilder: Ryan Gosling plays Sebastian, a passionate jazz musician with dreams of opening his own jazz club. To prepare for this role, Gosling learned to play the piano and dedicated himself to capturing the essence of jazz music. His performance in the film reflects the struggles of maintaining artistic integrity in a commercialized world. The depth of his character is further enhanced by his interactions with Mia, as it showcases both the joys and challenges of love intertwined with ambition.
Supporting Cast: The film also features a strong supporting ensemble that adds richness to the narrative. Actors like John Legend, who plays Keith – a successful musician and Sebastian’s friend, and Rosemarie DeWitt as Laura – Mia’s supportive yet concerned roommate, help to deepen the storyline. Each character's journey intertwines with the main plot, illustrating how the pursuit of dreams can affect relationships and personal dynamics.
Filmmaking Challenges: From a production perspective, La La Land faced numerous challenges. The film's iconic opening number, “Another Day of Sun,” was shot on a busy Los Angeles freeway and involved hundreds of dancers. Chazelle and his team meticulously choreographed this ambitious scene, harnessing a sense of nostalgia while also infusing it with a modern flair. Similarly, the dance sequences required the actors to extensively rehearse, highlighting their dedication to the craft.
Behind the Music: The music in La La Land plays a crucial role in establishing the film's emotional landscape. Composed by Justin Hurwitz, the score not only complements the narrative but also serves as a character in its own right. Songs like “City of Stars” have become emblematic of the film, showcasing the blend of melancholy and hope that defines Mia and Sebastian’s journey.
Thematic Resonance: At its core, La La Land explores themes of ambition, love, and the inevitability of sacrifice. The bittersweet conclusion prompts audiences to reflect on the choices they make in pursuit of their dreams, elegantly captured in both the dialogue and the visual storytelling. These themes resonate deeply with anyone who has ever chased their aspirations, making the film universally relatable.
In conclusion, La La Land stands out not only as a cinematic achievement but also as a poignant commentary on the pursuit of dreams and the reality of love. The dedication of its actors and the creative team behind the scenes paved the way for a film that has left an indelible mark on modern cinema.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
