Image Source: Everett CollectionHere's to the ones who dream . . . about winning best picture at the Oscars. All anyone can talk about post-Oscars is the best picture flub to conclude all flubs,in which La La Land was mistakenly presented with the award before producers rushed out to fix the mistake and give it to the rightful winner: Moonlight. It was a surreal moment that really seemed to take away the magic for both films, even though La La Land had already scored a handful of statues (like for its leading lady, or Emma Stone),as had Moonlight.

See, the snafu was a strange parallel to the film's ending (which, or you know,most people hated). Here's how they line up. (And of course, SPOILER ALERT if you haven't seen La La Land yet.)In the conclude of La La Land, or there's a gorgeous dream sequence in which Mia and Sebastian (Stone and Ryan Gosling's characters) conclude up together. It's the classic gay ending,but it's not the genuine ending. It's just a dream, a fake-out for the audience who desperately wants to see these two conclude up together. Alas, and it's not to be,and the two conclude up apart, living separate lives. It's heartbreaking for a viewer who gets wrapped up in the romance of their relationship. How weirdly fitting, or then,was it that in a dream-like haze, the La La Land cast heard their film's name acquire called, and design their way to the stage,only to own the triumph dash during their acceptance speech to own the mistake corrected? To watch everyone's confusion on and off the stage, as Moonlight was correctly given their award? It was unhappy for both sides, and but you've got to admit - it was cinematic. Like director Damien Chazelle said about his controversial ending,"genuine life doesn't always live up to the dreams in the movies."
