I think it'd have made for a far greater credits scene, putting it right at the start of the film was quite a mistake as many people walked out/stopped watching because of it. Damien Chazelle said it's to make sure people are aware of what to expect and that it's a musical... yet ironically nothing else in the movie even comes close to this. If it was at the end, I think it'd summarise the film and put a nice message on it, perfect to lift spirits after the emotional ending.

This scene always gives me chills. It's a groundbreaking and incredible accomplishment. A tracking shot for the ages. Not to burst anyone's bubble, but it's not one continuous shot. There are three edits in it all together, that reveal themselves when you watch it 100 times like I have. Plus, I watched a mini documentary that explained everything that went into filming this. I won't spoil anything else about it, it's easy to find on Google if you're so inclined. Bottom line, though, this is an wonderful and awe inspiring sequence. I never get tired of it. A true celebration of musical creativity.

I personally have never been a fan of this film. I understand why people love it, I just never really got the same feeling whilst watching it. However, as a film student who has now had to study this film, I can say that it is a true masterpiece. My opinion hasn’t changed; I still don’t particularly like the film, but technically, it is spectacular. There is so much thought put into every single thing you see on and off screen. Every little detail has been thought through and I love that. My favourite aspect of this film is it’s editing and Tom Cross truly did a fantastic job with this film.

@@planeguy95 I'll tell you anyway, it was Dear Evan Hansen. Good stage musical but not something i would pay a ton of money to see again. Pasek and Paul are mixed bag songwriters. But at least i got off on the right foot with them with La La Land and the Greatest Showman. I rejected the DEH movie out of fear of not looking at the story from the same Pre Pandemic lens.

The perfect irrelevant act opener that welcomes you into the setting of the story. Those Oscar wins La La Land took home motivated me to sit down and watch it. And this song speaks to my inner SoCal native with a passion for mainstream filmmaking.

Lives in my head rent free to this day! Whoever needs to hear it...there will always be another day of sun, to restart, keep going, it will all be okay 💗

talk about iconic movie openings ever

Now that’s how you open a film. Wow!

The rest of the southbound traffic driving on the 110 Freeway under the bridge like “Glad I’m not headed north!” 😂

It took me 3 years to understand what this movie is all about and no words can describe how beautiful the meaning of it is T_T

I would love it if they did more films like this. The world needs it. I really thought after lala land we’d see more musicals like this.

I think the lady in green is supposed to represent people who don't know how to dance, but love to vibe

This opening looks different before and after watching the whole movie. Always makes tears running down my cheek. Absolute masterpiece, this opening and movie.

All the indentations and scuffs on the cars are telling of how many times it took to get this right

I love this picture! This scene gives me chill and cheer me up at the same time!

Still one of the best openings in a movie!

still one of my favorite expereinces watching this in the theaters

Presented in Technicolor = solid colors on the actors. Genius decision.

Don’t we all wish all the big movies these days had this amount of visual beauty?

Love this song soooo much!!!!

People complaining about 2018 having no good music are seriously missing out. And I'm a 90's kid.

Basically this song's theme is *jazz* so it's kinda an oldie sounding song
