Reborn to Dominate Hollywood

"I'm in front of the cinema now, where are you?" Isabella Skelton proposed to her beloved boyfriend for the third time after leaving the house.

- Give me two minutes, Bella. I'm in the parking lot. The movie won't even start for another fifteen minutes to calm your horse down.

Oliver's voice was a little annoyed, causing Isabella to pout sadly, but what she didn't know was how busy the parking lot seemed to be.

"Well, I'll wait in front." She said, waiting for him to arrive.

Isabella and Oliver have been dating for almost three years and they know each other inside and out. But this morning, as much as Isabella wanted to see the first show of La La Land, Oliver and the "boys" had plans, so he said they would go to the evening show.

Oliver is a tall, dark-skinned, handsome man, but not many movie options. Basically, musicals never made it to his list, and if you ask him, they never will. On the other hand, when it comes to movies, Isabella loves movies of all genres. Her favorite date is a movie date. Ever since she saw the trailer, she has wanted to watch the movie La La Land.

"Bella, my Bella," Oliver walked over to her and kissed her sweet lips as usual in welcome.

"Shall we go?" Isabella asked with a smile. Oliver nodded, and they all went in to buy popcorn, snacks, and of course, La La Land, the hot topic in town.

An hour before the movie, Oliver's fingers were wrapped around Isabella's forearm. She enjoyed every second, and his gaze locked on the screen.

"Aww.." Isabella grunted as they danced, shaking her head from side to side to the music while enjoying herself.

"You like tap dancing, don't you?" Oliver whispered in her ear, and she nodded with a big smile, but still didn't take her eyes off the screen.

"You can let them, but you refuse. Your skills are incredible," Sebastian said to Mia on screen. "You know the whole world from your bedroom,"

"What more could they want?" Who's doing this? "

I'm doing that. You're doing that. Sebastian was persistent.

"Who is that guy at the lighthouse? The guy who gave you the show? Mia questioned in his arms.

Time passed, and the movie entered its final minutes. It was the scene when Mia went to the coffee shop where she used to work, status, fame, the place she had always dreamed of, and now she has achieved it. However, there were some things she couldn't achieve. Her love life.

The screen depicts how all the eyes inside suddenly look at the woman. She walked over to the counter - finally, her face appeared.

"Hey, please give me iced coffee," Mia said.

Mia looked different. Different hairstyles, different ways of treating herself - and not only that, but she looks a little older. There is a sense of calmness and confidence in her demeanor and the way she speaks. About her voice and gestures.

The barista was visibly nervous and hurried to order Mia. A man who appears to be the new manager gives Mia a cup of coffee –

"on us." He said with a slight smile.

"No, no, no, I insist." Mia handed over a few dollar bills. Then put another bill in the tip jar. The barista smiled.

The scene is perfectly depicted, with smiles on everyone's faces, including Oliver and Isabella.

The screen is now showing the last part of the movie. Many people's hearts have been broken, and some people even refuse to watch the ending. Others looked at it with sad expressions. Sensitive soul, Isabella had tears in her eyes. It was then that Sebastian and Mia's story was edited. Editor of Mia and Sebastian's Life Review.

[Inside the movie currently in theaters~]

Mia and Sebastian walked outside together - but now that they are outside, it is clear that this is not the real Los Angeles they are walking through, in fact, it is a Los Angeles that does not exist at all.

Painted background of Los Angeles, like the background of Mia passing by in the parking lot. Ancient orangeries, gabled roofs, mossy bungalows, ivy-clad lamps, jacaranda trees, huge hills, Griffith and Santa Monica piers – all the paintings, all the props, all the imaginary imagination of the studio background, they have entered a realm of complete fantasy, the realm of the old Hollywood ballet of the '40s and '50s

The casting director corners Mia – no dialogue, just action – as if calling her to an audition, from where they find themselves in the audition room – that is, the studio version of the studio. The director is in, and Mia acts. No words could be heard, but the music took on the melodies of her songs, which brought them to Paris.

The journey is drawn through old maps and dissolved, the way of the old Hollywood movies, and finally, they find themselves in the City of Light – that is, a painted background version of the City of Light, the Basilica of the Sacred Heart and the Arc de Triomphe and the Eiffel Tower etched into bright colors, ornate lampposts and pebbles stretch out in front of Mia and Sebastian as they move... The music accompanied them through the film.

Surrounded by lights and cranes, Mia is immersed in the magical glow of the movie, improvises at a crypt-like jazz club, checks in above "Hatchett's Cave," Sebastian plays 94, and several older musicians approach, gather around him, and nod. It's an old-school club, and these are old-school jazz musicians. Finally, Mia and Sebastian culminate in a large expanse of colors against the backdrop of a night view of the Paris skyline. This is the last time the audience sees them dancing, and they seem to realize that their movements are so graceful and poised, remember - this is a romance that is more perfect than a real romance. It disappears again – into a series of black-and-white photographs that

resemble those of jazz legends who first appeared in his apartment as the orchestra subsides and the piano takes over, like those of jazz legends who first appeared in his apartment: full of grain, dripping shadows, and soon the music returns, and it goes from the photographs back to the moving images, in quick succession, through a short, vivid glimpse of the following moments:

their wedding

, their honeymoon

, their first home

Mia is pregnant

with their child's birth

on the child's first, second, and third birthdays.

Everything here shines with the warmth of a 16mm vintage home movie, these are memories, drifting by, grabbing at random – but all made up, out of nothing.

The scores continue to increase and make them rise. Sebastian and Mia, husband and wife, father and mother, hire a nanny because they decide to go out to the movies for the night.

The scenery here is not affected in the slightest, it's just that every day, the music quiets down a little and everything becomes a little more natural, and the happy couple hits the road and finds themselves stuck in a traffic jam, then takes a detour and winds through another Los Angeles, then walks down the street, and then hears the music – the makeshift quartet plays somewhere, and then walks into a place that looks like Sebastian's music store, and they sit down and listen.

And then – this is how the imaginary montage musical repertoire ends – the quartet's pianist, certainly not Sebastian, begins to play the melodies of Mia and Sebastian, 94. Mia and Sebastian looked at each other and recognized it. The music goes around in circles and back to where it started, Mia and Sebastian look into each other's eyes, lean against each other, and kiss softly with all the love in the world.

Gently, we come back to reality: Sebastian has just finished his piano piece. There was some slight applause. Mia looked at Sebastian and looked away. A moment passes.

The end

of everyone feels like a giant roller coaster ride of hope, sad and healthy at the same time. Isabella was still staring at the six letters on the screen.

"We'll send you home, darling," Oliver said, patting her on the back.

"I can't believe it's over!" She whispered and stood up. She already understands how Hollywood handles the reality of the film. There were tears in her eyes, and her heart was heavy. But she would wholeheartedly name it the best movie she's ever seen.

"It's almost like the director took our hopes to the top of the hill and then put them down deeply," she said as she walked out of the theater with him.
