But Heat is better. 149. Collateral is more representative of LA than Heat though. 66. Both movies are amazing, really shows the darker side of LA more then other movies. 26. dutchmasterams •. LA was chosen as the city for Collateral due to the ambiance the High Pressure Sodium (yellow glow) lights.
La La Land blew its load in the first 10 minutes with 2 over-produced opening numbers in a row (out of 5 real numbers, if I'm counting correctly? John Legend's diegetic interlude doesn't count.) When 40% of your musical numbers are set-up songs, you know the director isn't really interested in making this a real musical -- he's interested in
The first being the phrase la la land, the second almost a pun referencing the fact that it's a musical, and lastly an actual pun, because the movie takes place in LA. After seeing the movie, I thought I was right about all three, with the movie itself expanding on and connecting those themes or ideas, in both concept and story.
Otherwise, La La Land was the better movie in pretty much every aspect of film making IMO. Like it didn't have any supporting performances as great as Mahershala Ali's, but kinda hard to hold that against the movie whereas it didn't even really have a need for supporting characters.
SPOILER: What a weird ending! I definitely cared way more about the second couple's relationship toward the end. So cute! And I honestly fast- forwarded through a lot of the last 2 episodes. It didn't make a lot of sense and I had a bad feeling about how it was going to end. But the ending was fine. Just super weird that they didn't show his face.Discussion. Well guys it's the end of soul land 2018 - 2023, tbh this donghua helped me through my depression and anxiety, it's literally my comfort show.
