It was an Hollywood night that was suppose to honor the motion picture industry, instead it just took less than eight minutes for Bonnie and Clyde, aka Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty to replicate last year’s mistake, Miss Universe contest, where Steve Harvey, read from the wrong cue card, and announced the winner as being Miss Columbia, and it was actually Miss Philippines. Who saids lightning can’t strike twice, but it did more than that, all day I was very excited to talk about some of the life’s lessons that I got from the film, it shows the sacrifice that two people in love, have to give up when they put their aspirations in front of the love they have for one another.
Too often, one partner has to be the catalyst, for their partner, to be the stepping stone to in the other’s advancement of success. People change, and most of the time, what were once lovers are suddenly taking solo journeys to a very hateful path. The end of La La Land, shows a starlet, who marries her now rich Prince Charming, and her once lover who gave the confidence to go after her Hollywood dream, sitting in his jazz club dream, wanting to change the whole outcome of the transformation was he was wholly responsible for.
Is there a lesson to be learned from La La Land, no, l;if just happens, and you just have to follow your heart, and accept the consequences. Is love blind? Sometimes, but that what makes love so challenging. But I don’t understand, why did the Oscars, didn’t learn from the Miss universe Pageant. Sure, if “Moonlight” was awarded the academy’s “Best Picture”, no big deal, I definitely would go to see it, but now, it just makes me sick, when our president wants to cut fundings for the performing arts, and Public Radio, that Hollywood has to look like asses. I feel sorry for the winners and losers.
This is one night, that I wished they did not kill the sheriff, and left Bonnie and Clyde at the Old Age Home. It’s going be awhile for me to go to a movie theatre, yet alone to my “La La Land”.
