La La Land is not only one of the most popular and well regarded films of the last decade, but also marks Damien Chazelle's second go around on Cinema Effect this year (with more to come next week). Starring Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, the movie plays as an idealistic whimsical musical, with some strong character drama still inserted throughout. The story believe it or not takes place in Los Angeles, and fittingly contains strong themes of not giving up on one's dreams (even when you're kind of a bad actor). We'll eventually thoughtfully compare those ideas and characters journeys to Chazelle's first film, Whiplash. But first we must overcome a heated debate about an aspect of the film that ended up being quite polarising amongst the crew: the quality of the musical sequences...
