((Spoilers for La La Land))
@hearts4juIes HOLY FRIGG I JUST FINISHED WATCHING THAT MOVIE AND OH MY GOD
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR RECOMMENDING IT TO ME
LIKE I CRIED A LITTLE BIT NEAR THE MIDDLE/END BUT THE ACTUAL ENDING CAUGHT ME SO OFF GUARD THAT I STARTED CRYING AS THE CREDITS BEGAN TO ROLL
I LITERALLY TOLD MYSELF AS I WAS WATCHING THE FILM "we need more soulmates who weren't meant to be/right person wrong time romance movies. Love stories where everything could've worked but for whatever reason didn't" BECAUSE I WAS SO DEAD SET ON THEM ENDING UP TOGETHER LIKE HUH??? I THOUGHT THAT THE WHOLE THING WITH HER HAVING A HUSBAND AND KIDS W/O SEB WAS LIKE A 'BAD ENDING' THING AND THE MONTAGE WAS WHAT REALLY HAPPENED AND THEN WHEN IT SHOWED SEB AND MIA SITTING TOGETHER WATCHING THE PIANIST AND THEN THE CAMERA ZOOMED IN ON THE PIANIST AND IT WAS SEB I GASPED SO HARD I LITERALLY CHOKED ON MY OWN BREATH
I SLAPPED MY HAND OVER MY MOUTH IN PURE SHOCK
AND THEN WHEN MIA WAWSS LIKE ABOUT TO LEAVE THE PLACE AND LOOKS BACK, I WAS EXPECTING HER TO RUN OVER TO HIM AND THEY FALL IN LOVE ALL OVER AGAIN AND SHE DIVORCES HER HUSBAND AND STUFF OR AT LEAST LIKE SEB WALKS UP TO HER AND MIA SAYS "I heard you playing and thought you sounded good" PR WHATEVER SHE SAYS EARLIER IN THE FILM AND IT WOULD BE IMPLIED THAT THEY AT LEAST GOT RECONNECTED AND BECAME FRIENDS AGIAN OR MAYBE EVENTUALLY WOULD GET BACK TOGETHER ROMANTICALLY
BUT NOOOO
THEY JUST SORT OF SMILE AT EACH OTHER AND THEN THE MOVIE ENDS
WITH THE UBEAT JAZZ MUSIC
I ALREADY LOVE JAZZ MUSIC SO MUCH AND I LOVE IT EVEN MORE BECAUSE OF THIS MOVIE BUT THAT WAS JUST MOCKING ME
I LITERALLY STARED AT MY T/V SCREEN, SITTING UP IN MY BED AS TEARS THAT I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WERE THERE ROLLED DOWN MY FACE AND I SAID:
"What the scallop was that?! This wasn't a romance! I was lied to!"
anyway, it was great and I loved it and I could now talk about this actual piece of art and what it stands for for literal hours but I'm almost at the word limit so I won't
