Hello
So, so welcome to our new series
What's it called
It's called we have feelings, because we have feelings about films
It should be called we have feelming... oh no, that doesn't work
No, what the hell?
We have...
Feeeelming
Feelming!
No, I won't touch my boobs again, sorry
Point is
It's not that kind of series - we have feelming
Not those kind of films, guys!
These are nationwide, international
David Cooke his sign saying they're fine
That's his name, isn't it? The man's name that comes under the, every cinema screenplay
I'm so impressed that you knew that
Oh my god! I love you
They certified this movie
Huh, so yes, we're going to go to the cinema every fortnight, and watch a film and then record ourselves
For 15 minutes because we've got to get it into 15 minutes
Attempting to review the film and not waffle on about something else
Yeah, attempting in 15 minutes
But I actually have a film degree. I went to
You were just like selling yourself to anyone who's watching that
Hire me!
I'm right here
Got a film degree, I've been a presenter before.
Like I can read off like you know the little scripts that come up on the...
Autocue
And I can really write very theorised critical studies of film, if that is what you're after
Or I can talk about pretty dresses in film - I've got the whole thing, really
Thank you wife, I appreciate it
Today's film, obviously, because you've seen the title is La La Land
We just went to see it
And we came out and it was snowing which seemed very apt, actually, for this film
Snow!
And then you hit me with a snowball
Yeah, I'm gonna do that
Well...
Good, you were walking and I did it from across the road I was really impressed with myself
Here's our review of La La Land
How do we feel?
I really liked it
For like the last probably hour you were like this and holding my hand
But I thought it was exceptionally beautiful
Shut up! Don't look at me with that face
It's like an ode to cinema
Yes there were no subtitles, so I only got 50 percent of what the hell was going on, but it was beautiful
I did think that when we were watching in the beginning. I immediately was like, where are the subtitles?
because I'm just so used to watching with subtitles
And then I was like, oh no - this is not a good film for Jessica cause like they're singing, but they were miming to words that were pre-recorded
Yes
Obviously they're dancing and you're not, camera's not focusing on their mouths cause they're just like...
No, I thought it was really good, and as I said - some people would be like "what the f*** was that"
But like, the whole point of it..
I feel like contrived is definitely the word for this film. Whether you think that is a good thing
You kind of have to just flow with it, I think
I think you have to just go with it and realise that it's it's like you say an ode to old musicals and old films
which are in themselves
really ridiculous
We have a It's a Wonderful Life. It's just like
George Bailey - no!
It's just like oh my god.
Even in those days, I'm sure no one spoke like that
I don't know for sure
Okay, in my Singing In The Rain film review, which you can watch up in the card thing
But I do mention the fact that I hate musicals. I know you like musicals, but I hate them
However, I love old-fashioned films, where they just randomly break into a song and dance
The beginning of this film, La La Land, I was a bit like oh no, I'm not sure if I'm gonna like it
When everyone was dancing on their cars, because it was just too like much
And then everyone was just like...
Oh my god, it's like reallly, really musically
Is this what this going to be like?
Back to La La Land
Yes, can we just discuss for a moment please, Emma Stone?
She's so wonderful!
Okay at the start of this film, I wasn't entirely sure whether they were both supposed to be characters that were a bit
that we weren't supposed to like?
Because I really disliked him for the most part
Really?
Yeah about halfway through, and then I was like oh he's won me around
Yeah, he was sort of, he was very like he was typical man. You know proud, wants his..
What did you think of the Sliding Doors moment?
I know!
It was suddenly like, oh my god, I think they're going to just retcon the entire film. What's happening here?
No, yeah, I did think when they went to that thing and they bumped into each other
Please don't go so far-fetched this whole film
I hate that when it's like the film was a lie
The realist scenes were too real, compared to the musically bits
and I thought actually the whole point is that in the background?
He was still playing that musical tune but with like
different
improvisations around it, so I realised actually it was just it was both him and her reflecting during the song
That song obviously.. You know the whole point of it is that he plays that song to take them back to when they met?
Yeah
and their time together so obviously both of them having a flash of memories and a what-if moment and that's
displayed in film through a kind of Sliding Doors scenario
What if I hadn't moved schools
I think about that a lot.
I'm sorry. I thought for a moment you meant like everyone has our what-if scenario with an ex in their head
No no, I'm not talking about an ex. I didn't say that
I know you didn't, but I got very worried
No, I just meant with like
it could with like, your grandma
you know, just a nostalgic memory
something that triggers a memory, like a smell that you go to the Lake District and you have a smell
and then you suddenly have a flash of memories and you go back to a time
and then you like live it in your head again
And you did say when we first walked out, didn't you, that they were
they weren't each other's soul mate?
Because they were helping each other to find their dreams to fulfill their goals to become who they were supposed to be, but...
Cause I believe - brace yourself!
I believe that you can have more than one soul mate
Shut up, no you can't!
I think you can, I think you can meet people at different stages in your life
And they're a soul mate for that time and period
You have like, maybe your one main one
Other soul mates, like, you might have your best friend who's a soul mate
It's just someone that gets you
I do actually, I do believe that souls are interconnected in a kind of web?
And then the souls you're connected to you will always be connected to
but they will come to you in different ways
So like, the love
the soul that you are connected to you as your grandparent
that soul will come back to you as maybe your grandchild
or a friend that you meet along the way
I think it was beatuiful
It was a really beautiful film
It's really beautiful, but in a really like
in your heart touching away, just like ahhh
And I really liked in the end there wasn't
that it was, it was okay that she was
Oh my god, I'm going to cry
It was okay that she was with her new husband and she had this lovely child.
Yeah, and it wasn't like "oh no, you've missed out on what was meant to be".
And a little bit of you thinks "oh no, she's with like some new man"
Then I thought actually, that's actually how life happens
Yeah, and like when you break up with someone, and you think it's the absolute - I'm gonna cry
It's the absolute end of the world and you're like oh my god
How is my life gonna continue, all my plans for the future have changed
But then you meet someone else and you're like, wait - why did I have that plan for the future?
And it's like it's five years later
I was waiting for it - I thought you were gonna cry in the cinema to be fair
I'm crying in retrospect. I held myself together
Yeah
I was like no no, we'll come home, we're doing a film review
Let's not discuss it now, hold yourself together
Too late!
We literally sat down with our giant diet coke and popcorn, and she's like
Wahhh
It hasn't started yet
That was just an advert for EE
My cousin used to cry at the titles for ER, even before anything had happened
it's just, she knew someone was going to die
No, I didn't say ER, I said EE like as in the mobile brand
Oh yeah
I did, that's true
- alarm beeping -
Oh my god. The time is done. No, but I forgot to say like
physical comedy, and this is amazing. I love physical comedy. It's so good. It's my favorite kind.
Not just because I can see it, and I don't have to hear anything
What makes it physical comedy?
Well just everything. Okay, when they're in, for example, when they're in the observatory at night
Oh yeah
And they're like... I just love it, okay
Watch the film - you'll understand.
Do you mean when they float off into the..
No, I mean before that, just everything. Like the little steps and the way they go together
I mean they actually do that very seriously, Jessica
Shut up!
Okay, my point is...
Physical comedy was hilarious slapstick
No, the point is I don't like like that kind of stupid physical comedy, alright
Like poo in the streets - Bridesmaids, I'm looking at you
But the more, the kind of - like Cary Grant, okay? Where you do a little
funny jig because you're about to fall over, that type of thing
oh, I know did you like the - I know what you mean
so when they were like creeped in the observatory and they saw something and they were like...
Yes! Exactly, that's what I'm trying to say.
Kind of overdramatise
Thank you, wife!
But that's kind of like back to the old days of silent movies like Charlie Chaplin
Yes!
And then in the lighting and every time they would do this little spotlight from an audience
Perfect silent comedy lighting, uh!
We've actually run out of time.
Yeah, we should stop, but oh my god - this is such a good film
Should people go and see this film?
Should poeple go and see this film? Yes!
What do you give this film out of five stars?
How many stars?
5 stars! 5 stars
I loved it. You can give it to me on DVD
Yeah, I'd say
My birthday.. no, it won't be out until after my birthday. Next christmas
I'd say probably four and a half, five stars because I was like I was like entertained the whole way through
I felt that connected to the characters despite it being a musical
Excellent
It felt really enough, but also magical enough, and it was like took me to a film place
Which is like a fiction, but it also touched on like
human life
You know, well things like everyone.
I'm glad we have the same truth in this
High five!
Yes
Wife and wife reviews
and Tilly
Thanks for barking
Everyone must think I like abuse this dog cause I'm just like...
Waaaahh
She's like Waaaah
I swear, most of the time she's biting my head
So - it's fair
