Finally time for LA LA Land. Why make a happy musical have a sad ending? Bummer. Fine movie though. Made me glad that I'm living the dream.

The Great Wall. This is a really bad movie. Never did find out what the yellow armor was for. Blue was for diving, black for foot soldiers, purple for shields, red for archers. What's the yellow for, Matt Damon? And where is your character's accent from?
I kind of liked the ending. Most of us have a first love that for whatever reason didn't work out.Originally Posted by sancho
You sap! If the movie had ended with a happy ending I would have asked for my money back. The ending was the best part about the whole thing.

It was a real-life ending and I liked the discussions it provoked. But like that sap sancho I go to movie musicals to escape reality and live in the cinematic fantasy world. You dour-minded realist.

“True, we [lawyers] build no bridges. We raise no towers. We construct no engines. We paint no pictures - unless as amateurs for our own principal amusement. There is little of all that we do which the eye of man can see. But we smooth out difficulties; we relieve stress; we correct mistakes; we take up other men's burdens and by our efforts we make possible the peaceful life of men in a peaceful state.”
--John W. Davis, founder of Davis Polk & Wardwell
This is true. I wouldn't have spent another minute thinking about a happy ending movie. As it was, I spent some time thinking about what they were saying about achieving your dreams and being happy.
See!
That's the spirit.
