Watch my Fan Trailer for La La Land
10 Years Later, Here’s My Modern Take on La La Land
all edited by myself, Hope you'll like it and hope it makes you want to see the movie again
La La Land has always been one of my favorite movies and I recently came across the 2013 draft of it and honestly I think Damien Chazelle should’ve kept a lot of what he had. The argument scene would’ve hit so much harder as well as when she tells him it’s over. I‘ll link the scripts for y’all to read and lmk your thoughts!
Watched La la land yesterday (hope I wasn't too early) and I think it's a great movie.
Now I'm not saying they should've ended together and had a perfect happily ever after but hear me out
Mia's baby is 2-3 years old. It took 9 months to get out of her and there was probably at least some time between her marriage and when they started to try for a baby.
So she started dating probably about a year after they split. Her getting over Seb in that time (maybe even less than a year) I personally don't like or think makes sense because the "what could've been" seen makes me believe that she deep down had atleast the smallest wish/hope to see Seb again.
And if she loved Seb enough to have that wish after being with someone else for 3.5-4 years then no way she got over him that fast.
I also would've liked it more if their decision to stay apart came fully from themselves and their wish for the other live their dream. And stuff like a baby and Mia being married wasn't a part of the equation.
So what if instead, 5 years later they've stopped talking but still have a small wish/hope to see the other again like in the movie, but Mia isn't married. She ends up going into the bar and seeing Seb and Seb seeing her and the day dreaming about what could've been happens and then that wish/hope is finally fulfilled.
And that's when the two finally get over eachother. having fully realised that they just aren't meant to be together. They want the the other to live their dream because they love them. They dont want the other to change for them because they love them. Even if that means they can only love them from afar.
Maybe I misinterpreted some major scene or symbolism and my what if is full of flaws but let me know what y'all think.
