Oscar's New Favorite la la land: A Glimpse of Line Life.

La la land has won 178 awards around the world, including the Golden Lion Award, the Golden Globe Award and the British Film Academy Award, since he appeared at the Venice Film Festival on August 3rd last year. As for the Oscar, there were 14 nominations, which tied the nomination record of Titanic that year, and won six awards including best director and best actress at the 89th Oscar just announced.

Why does this nostalgic musical with a slightly conventional plot cause such a strong whirlwind of awards? In addition to paying tribute to the classics and dreams, there are also superb acting skills of Shi Jie and Commander Gao, and good lines also make this film even more powerful and add icing on the cake to the king.

Here are exquisite lines for everyone. Let's enjoy the exquisite beauty of English lines together!

First, the film title "Lala Earth"

The name "Laladi" actually comes from another source.

La La Land》/ Fantasy Los Angeles was originally the second single of the first studio album Don't Forget released by local singer demi lovato in Los Angeles on September 23rd, 2008. It is a pop-rock single, which tells the meaning of "Don't let others change who you are". And "be yourself" In the song MV, Hollywood stars give up their true selves for fame, while Demi is a maverick and never wants to change herself for fame.

Sebastian, the hero of the film, sticks to his dream and refuses to compromise with the world. Later, he gave up his persistence for his beloved Mia and pursued worldly fame and fortune. Finally, he regained his dream under Mia's persuasion.

With the encouragement of Seb, the heroine Mia, who was frustrated by being rejected for many auditions, gave full play to her talent in writing scripts, and because of her attempt at one-act drama, the audition director took a fancy to telling stories to their scripts.

Therefore, it is meaningful to use this song to describe these two lovers who persist in their dreams and do not change for the world.

Second, the word lying gun Shanghai version

This conversation took place between Sebastian and his sister Laura.

Laura: You need to get serious. You live like a hermit. You drive without insurance.

Laura: Be serious. Don't live like a hermit. You went on the road without buying auto insurance.

Sebastian: I'm serious. I have a serious plan? Future. It's not my fault that I was admitted to Shanghai Institute of Education.

Sebastian: I am serious. I have a serious plan for my future. You can't blame me for being cheated into a thief boat.

Laura: You didn't get the "Shanghai Edition". You were cheated.

Laura: You weren't cheated. You were cheated.

Sebastian: What's the difference?

Sebastian: What's the difference?

Laura: Not so romantic. ?

Laura: "Being cheated" doesn't sound as good as you.

Out of bounds/out of bounds

Awesome, my sister! Oh, no, this is great for his sister!

Does every younger brother with low self-esteem have a strong and "vicious" sister, who is unkind and hits the nail on the head?

In the first sentence, there has been criticism (not serious attitude), labeling (like a hermit) and generalization (not safe on the road and not reliable in doing things). In Seba's defense, he even caught his brother's modification of words to make a fuss, which meant that he had to quibble when he did something wrong, and he avoided important words. The image of a quick-thinking but heartless sister comes to mind. With such a big sister, my brother's sense of existence and self-esteem must be shattered.

In front of Seba, when she said strongly, "You must stop breaking into my home/you must stop breaking into my home", she simply said, "Do you think mom or dad will call this home? /Do you think parents will call this kennel home? " . It's really a pity that this girl doesn't become a diplomat. In the face of my brother's tough words, I first used soft words to avoid the sharpness of his questions, and then my parents discouraged my brother mentally, which was logically a powerful counterattack (you are a kennel and don't deserve to be a home, so of course I didn't break into your house! )。 This elder sister's logical thinking is super powerful.

Interesting words

Kidnap: To kidnap (a man or sailor) to force him to serve at sea, especially on a merchant ship. Kidnap or kidnap a man to be a sailor on a merchant ship at sea. Later, it gradually extended to cajole or force someone to do something they don't want to do; The common idiom of forcing someone to do something is to induce someone to do something.

Rip: If someone rip you off, they will overcharge you or sell you something broken or damaged. Murder; cheat

This word actually has allusions. /kloc-in the United States in the 0 th and 9 th centuries, working on merchant ships was cheap, food rotted, and wages were pitiful. As a result, the captains of merchant ships, especially those moored along the Pacific coast, recruit crew members by some illegal means, such as hiring some "underworld elements" and taking people to the ship as crew members in salons, bars or casinos by means of anesthesia and drunkenness. Since most of these ships sailed for Shanghai in the east, this form of abduction and slavery gradually became known as "Shanghai".

In this story, kidnapping happened between American merchant ship owners and poor Americans, which is a contradiction between their people. Shanghai is just because it is the destination of these merchant ships.

Third, the quarrel at Mia's birthday dinner.

Mia: People will want to go because you are passionate about it, and people like what others are passionate about. You remind people what is abnormal.

Mia: People will like to go to your bar, because you are enthusiastic, and people like what others are passionate about. You remind people of things they have forgotten.

I pointed out that you have a dream to follow, and you will stick to it.

I'm talking about your dream, the dream you follow, and the dream you will always stick to.

Sebastian: This is a dream ... This is a dream.

Sebastian: This is a dream.

Sebastian: People like me have been working hard for a successful career that people like all their lives. You know, I mean I finally succeeded ... That ... people like it because I don't like it.

Sebastian: People like me have been trying to achieve what people like all their lives. Now I finally did what people like. It doesn't matter whether I like it or not.

Mia: Since when do you care that people like you? Why do you care so much about being liked?

Mia: Since when do you care about things you don't like? Why do you care so much about this?

Sebastian: You are an actor. What are you talking about?

...... Maybe you like me when I'm a mess, because it makes you feel better.

Sebastian: You are also an actor. Why do you ask?

..... Maybe you like me because I'm poor and make you feel good.

Mia: Are you kidding?

Mia: Are you kidding?

Sebastian: No … I don't know.

Sebastian: No ... I don't know.

Out of bounds/out of bounds

Carefully savoring this conversation, we can see the kindness and cowardice of the big boy Seba.

From the conversation between Sebastian and his sister, we can know that he is a person laughed at by his family because of his dreams. In his conversation with his sister Laura, he argued everywhere. When ridiculed by his sister that he didn't even have the money to change the lock, he shouted angrily, "I am a phoenix reborn from the fire/I am a phoenix reborn from nirvana."

Under the pressure of his powerful elder sister and parents, he failed to fully release his rebellious emotions in adolescence and continued his rebellious psychological characteristics into adolescence.

However, it's different from Mia's.

Mia is the person he loves, and he is in the same boat. In addition, Mia and his mode of getting along are appreciative and tolerant. So when he heard Mia explain his employment situation to his mother, he was very moved. At that moment, he was willing to give up his dream and love for Mia in exchange for a considerable salary to support their material future.

Although he played modern jazz, which was far from his favorite jazz, he was temporarily lost in the dazzling aura when he first tasted fame and fortune, so he felt wronged when Mia blamed him for not giving up his dream. Isn't it because of you and me? You don't appreciate it, and in turn you blame me?

When two people began to replace warmth and sensibility with logical rationality, the mode of getting along with Seba and her sister emerged like a spell. He began to hesitate, pause, pout, repeat what he just said (this is a dream), stammer (that ... that ... that), and even said something that seemed to defend himself, but actually revealed his inferiority. It doesn't matter if I don't like it. This spirit of self-sacrifice is quite rare among Americans who generally feel that they are awesome.

Finally, after being asked two questions by Mia, he finally threw a blockbuster. May you like me when I am in a mess, because it makes you feel better. This is another sentence of extreme inferiority. While belittling his attraction, he also questioned that the nature of their love was not two of a kind, which actually did great harm to Mia.

Mia was naturally hurt. In shock, she asked him a question. Are you kidding? First, it is unbelievable, so I suspect that he is joking. Second, set a "step" for Seba. As long as the other party says "yes", this angry remark becomes a joke, and the unpleasant quarrel can be temporarily turned over.

However, Sebastian sitting opposite him felt inferior. He is still in a state of confusion. He didn't see this step at all, but he said willfully, no, click! I don't know if they all heard the inner crack, and what they don't know in the future can't save anything.

Fourth, the rational breakup of Griffith Park.

Mia: Where are we?

Mia: Where are we?

Sebastian: Griffith Park.

Sebastian: Griffith Park.

Mia: Where are we?

Mia: I mean, where are we now? The extended meaning of "where are we" can refer to this situation.

Sebastian: I know. I don't know.

Sebastian: Oh, I see. I have no idea (where we are).

Mia: What should we do?

Mia: What can we do? What can two people do to make up the difference? )

Sebastian: I don't think we can do anything, because when you hear this. ......

Sebastian: I don't think we can do anything, because when you get this (role) ......

Mia: If I get this.

Mia: (correcting him) If I can get it.

Sebastian: When you get this, you must go all out. Everything. This is your dream.

Sebastian: (Insist) When you get this role, you must devote yourself to everything. Everything. Because this is your dream!

......

Sebastian: I think we have to wait and see.

Sebastian: I think we have to wait and see now.

Mia: I will always love you.

Mia: I will always love you.

Sebastian: I will love you forever.

Sebastian: I will love you forever.

Out of bounds/out of bounds

On top of AUO, Sebastian of The Lover Not Full found the best distance to get along with Mia: to help her find confidence and realize her dream as a friend. Mia was also moved by him and said, "Where are we?" In fact, it is to test his feelings for himself. But Seba has positioned herself as her good friend and ferryman, which is quite natural in Seba's inferiority complex. The way he gets along with the world is to put on armor at any time, and this armor is "selflessly helping and achieving others." This feature is easy to exist in the personality of good people with low self-esteem, so that they will feel a tragic heroism in their imagination and improve their self-esteem.

At the same time, this distance allows him to see Mia's strength objectively as when he doesn't love Mia, so Mia, who is only in this mountain, corrects him "if I get it." He firmly believes that "when you get it" and "when you get the role" imply a certainty, while "if I get the role" is a hypothesis. Good people are generally smart, but in love, people easily become stupid.

Being friends is great for a character like Sebastian, but being a lover may have many problems. From this point of view, his separation from Mia may be a better ending for each other. This statement is quite cruel and unreasonable, but isn't this the true face of life? )

In Seba, we can see such "good people" as Xiao Li, Li Xunhuan, and An Sheng in July. For the sake of friendship, lovers can give up, be moved by their greatness and ignore the whole incident, and may be being led to tragedy by themselves, which is irreversible.

At the same time, this "giving up love" implies great disrespect for the lover!

At the end, the two said "I will love you forever" to each other, not telling each other what they are, but a thought left to each other when they broke off their relationship with swords (we not only loved each other, but I will love you forever in the future, with this sentence, we can safely pass by each other's world and then stay away! )

Friends who have seen many Hollywood movies know this routine: when the protagonist suddenly says "I love you", it often means an ominous sign, even a farewell sentence.
