What's Old is New Again: An Exploration of the Themes of 'La La Land'
()
About this ebook
It's the film that has swept the nation and won over the hearts of millions. The record breaking 14 time Oscar-nominated musical "La La Land" captures the magic of artists pursuing their careers. But there's more than meets the eye. This essay will explore the themes that elevate the story of Hollywood glitz and glamour into a work of art. Themes explored include why it's important to compromise, why going off script is important, and what the limits of nostalgia are.
