This is the love story of Mia, an aspiring actress, and Sebastian, a jazz musician, as they chase their dreams in Los Angeles. They will have to make compromises to pursue their careers and put their love aside. And the film will also show us how things could have been different if love had prevailed. This musical romance is so wonderful, with beautiful songs that come and go throughout the film, two incredible actors, Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, and a vibrant, colourful visual style. Tears are never far away. Very touching and heartbreaking.
Audition (The Fools Who Dream)
My aunt used to live in Paris
I remember, she used to come home and she would tell us
These stories about being abroad
And I remember, she told us that she jumped into the river once. Barefoot
She smiled…
Leapt without looking
And tumbled into the Seine
The water was freezing
She spent a month sneezing
But said she would do it again
Here’s to the ones who dream
Foolish as they may seem
Here’s to the hearts that ache
Here’s to the mess we make
She captured a feeling
Sky with no ceiling
The sunset inside a frame
She lived in her liquor
And died with a flicker
I’ll always remember the flame
Here’s to the ones who dream
Foolish as they may seem
Here’s to the hearts that ache
Here’s to the mess we make
She told me:
“A bit of madness is key
To give us new colors to see
Who knows where it will lead us?
And that’s why they need us”
So bring on the rebels
The ripples from pebbles
The painters, and poets, and plays
And here’s to the fools who dream
Crazy as they may seem
Here’s to the hearts that break
Here’s to the mess we make
I trace it all back to then
Her, and the snow, and the Seine
Smiling through it
She said she’d do it again
