la la land Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling dancing
Consider the movie musical, a genre that has been successful in Hollywood pretty much since the introduction of sound in the movies and has produced some of the most iconic films in history. The movie musical takes traits from film and theatre, blending them to create immersive and fantastical cinematic experiences. Movie musicals have the potential to incite a unique joy and catharsis in their audiences, generating a legion of hardcore fans.
This movie also features an all-star cast and some stellar musical and acting performances. The actors don't hold back at all, hamming up their performances to the nth degree. Chris Pine and Billy Magnussen let out all their musical theater angst as fairytale princes in their song "Agony," which is deliciously funny.
While La La Land's two stars, Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, are both sufficient singers and dancers, they are actors first. The pair's casting was perfect, as they entrench their musical performances with captivating emotion that makes their songs and dances feel as natural to the characters as if they were simply speaking with each other. Unsurprisingly, La La Land has become one of the most Oscar-nominated movies and the most acclaimed movie musical of the 21st century.
Rocketman is a quick-moving adventure filled with lively settings, outlandish costumes, and amazing blocking and choreography. At its core, however, the film is carried by Taron Egerton's emotional performance as Elton John, in which he not only captures the rock star's mannerisms perfectly but even mimics his iconic singing voice. Yes, Egerton himself does the singing in Rocketman, only enhancing the youthful energy of this captivating fictionalization.
