U-Emma Stone njengoMia kunye noRyan Gosling njengoSebastian kwi Umhlaba weLa La .Summit Ukuzonwabisa Xa kuziwa kulowo ugqithisileyo, ogqithisileyo kunye nokudanisa Umhlaba weLa La, Ndiphume kwilungu elinesarha esandleni sam. Jonga abaphulaphuli kwiminyhadala yeefilimu yalo nyaka baqhwaba izandla ngamandla. Abagxeki baphuma kwii-noodle zabo behambisa izichazi ezingafanelekanga. Abahleli babela izincoko ezingenamsebenzi zokuba kutheni umculo womculo bhanyabhanya ubalulekile. UHype kunye no-Oscar buzz bayirhangqile. Okona kubaluleke kakhulu, kukwenza imali. Isangqa esihlala sigciniwe kwaye sihlala sigxeka abahlali beNew York Film Circle, endilelona lungu limi kwelona lide (okanye mhlawumbi ndingatsho ukuba lelona lungu lide limiyo) ndilinike ibhaso ngeyona Bhanyabhanya ifanelekileyo yoNyaka, yothusa wonke umboniso bhanyabhanya omabini amanxweme, kubandakanya nabantu abenzileyo Umhlaba weLa La.
| LA LA MHLABA ★ ★ ★ Ibhalwe yayalelwa ngu: UDamien Chazelle |
Ukugculelwa okungathethekiyo okulandelayo kuyaqondakala ngokupheleleyo, kuba njengoko sonke sibhengeza ukubuya kwemidlalo bhanyabhanya emnandi, le ayisiyiyo enye yazo. U-AA Gill, umgxeki wase-Bhritane okrelekrele osweleke ekuqaleni kwale nyanga eLondon eneminyaka engama-63, uthe konke kwisincoko esibizwa eMelika Ngothando xa ebhala, ubukrelekrele baseMelika bekusoloko kukuthabatha into endala, eyaziwayo kunye nemibimbi, kwaye bayiphinde entsha, inika umdla kwaye igudile. Oku kuchaza okuninzi malunga Umhlaba weLa La kunye nokusabela okungachanekanga kuyo . Umboniso bhanyabhanya uphuma njengomrhumo ekujongwe kuwo kakuhle kumculo omnandi weMGM weVincente Minnelli, eyenziwe ngabantu abangazange bayibone.
Njengoninzi lweefilimu zomculo, ezilungileyo nezimbi ngokufanayo, ungabhala iyelenqe entlokweni ye-icepick. Umdlalo weqonga wamandulo, ngumbhali-bhanya-bhanya-bhanya-bhanya uDamien Chazelle, iireks zebhola ekhatywayo. Iziko lonyaka othandweni oluza kugwetywa phakathi komlingisi we-wannabe ogama lingu-Mia (Emma Stone), owathobelwa iitafile zokulinda kwivenkile yekofu yaseWarner Brothers (igimmick ebiwe kwiDoris Day e LuVakalelo Oluhle) kunye nomdlali wepiyano we-jazz ogama linguSebastian (Ryan Gosling), ngokungenalusini wabekwa ekudlaleni iiKrismesi kumngxunya wokunkcenkceshela waseHollywood oqhutywa ngumphathi okhohlakeleyo ongenguye umthandi womculo (uJK Simmons kwi-cameo njengenceba kumlawuli uChazelle, owayekhokele kuye kweyona Oscar iNkxaso ibalaseleyo kwi Whiplash).
Badibana kamnandi kubushushu obugqithisileyo be-pre-Christmas traffic jam apho iiradiyo zemoto zidlala iJingle Bells ngelixa abaqhubi abaphoxekileyo betsiba kwizithuthi zabo ezimileyo, becula kwaye behamba ngenamba engabalulekanga malunga negridi evaliweyo ebizwa ngokuba yiTrafikhi. Ndicinga ukuba inqaku (okanye ubuncinci injongo) kukwenza iLos Angeles ibonakale imbi njengoko injalo, xa nabani na okhe wabanjiswa kuhola wendlela waseCalifornia esazi ukuba akukho bhanyabhanya unokuyenza loo nto. Kodwa iyazama. Kuthotho lokudibana ngokungenalusini, abathandi abanqamleze iinkwenkwezi bayagilana kunye neziphumo eziyintlekele kwizakhelo ezenziweyo ezibolekwe okanye ezisekwe kwimiboniso bhanyabhanya yabanye abantu- yonke into isuka kuvuyo luka Umzobi kwi-vulgarity ye-Baz Luhrmann's Isigayo esiBomvu.
Bashiya ukuvavanywa Umvukeli ngaphandle kwesizathu, qhuba uye eGriffith Park Observatory apho la movie yayifotwa khona, kwaye udanise ujikeleze izijikelezi langa. Bema kancinci kwibhentshi yepaki ukucula ingoma yothando, ngokuthe chu waltz ngengoma yothando ethandwayo kumnyhadala othathwe kwiFred Astaire's edume ngokuDanisa kwinani elimnyama kwiVincente Minnelli's Uluhlu lweebhendi— iklasikhi ebalasele ngandlela zonke kwaye ibambe kamnandi nokuba ndibona kangaphi . URyan Gosling akakwazi ukucula kwaye uEmma Stone akakho uCyd Charisse. Xa ekhupha ingoma yothando, uyacaba kwaye uphume kumandi wandenza ndangcungcutheka. Umdaniso wakhe ungcono kodwa uyinto engaqhelekanga, eyothusayo kuthathelwa ingqalelo iminyaka yakhe yobudala kwiklabhu yeMickey Mouse. Ngokudibeneyo charisma yabo ayizukugcwalisa i-demitasse.
Imovie ihambisa kakubi embindini, njengomatrasi ogugileyo ofuna imithombo emitsha. Iinyanga zokwahlukana-ngelixa esokola ukubhala kwaye adlale umdlalo odlalayo kwaye uzama ukufumana imali eyoneleyo ngokudlala uhlobo lomculo we-New Age awuthiyileyo ukuze axhase iphupha lakhe lokuba ngenye imini azivulele iklabhu yejazz-unefuthe lokunxiba kumkhondo wefilimu ngelixa ulinde ngomonde, ngethemba lokuba into iza kusisusa. Kukho umzekeliso omnandi, ngesiphelo endingenakuze ndisichaze njengesiqinisekileyo okanye esiphakamisayo.
Ukujonga kwilensi yentsusa, ndiye ndasilela ukubona ubungqina obuninzi kwi Umhlaba weLa La yokutsha nengcinga. Ibongoza ngokungxama inqaku elingcono kunenqanaba lesibini lokulahla okunikezelwa ngumculo kunye namazwi ababhali beengoma ze pop uBenj Pasek noJustin Paul. Okwangoku, ngokulungileyo, umlawuli uChazelle umnqweno wokuhlaziya umculo weemovie kunye nokuhlangula uhlobo ekumeni kufanelekile ukuqhwatywa izandla. Ngaba uLouis B. Mayer ebesaphila namhlanje, ngewayezibize ezi nkwenkwezi zimbini zinabantu abaziyo ukuphatha ingoma, kodwa kumnandi ukubabukela behamba. Iincoko zencoko ziyaqaqamba xa esiba nemincili ngokugcina ubugcisa bokufa bejazz ngendlela yezithixo zakhe, uLouis kunye neNtaka kunye neMonk kunye neeMiles, kunye neziqendu zezixhobo, apho alingisa khona ukudlala iijazz riffs ngokuqhuba kunye nokujinga kukaBill Evans , ziyachulumancisa. Unomtsalane kunye nomtsalane, kwaye unamehlo amakhulu emazi kunye nomlomo omile okweentliziyo njenge chocolate yaseLouis Sherry. Umboniso bhanyabhanya nguLinus Sandgren ubalasele.
Nangona kukho iziphene, Umhlaba weLa La unemizuzu yolonwabo kunye nolwaneliseko oluxabisa ixabiso lokwamkelwa. Akunjalo ukuba ibhayisikobho embi; ayisiyiyo kwaphela into eyonwabisayo, indlela iimuvi ezinkulu (ngakumbi ezomculo) ekufuneka zibenjalo. Kodwa ndiyathemba ukuba isayina umnyango ovulekileyo wokulandela ngakumbi.
