The upbeat tone is almost a counterpoint to David Lynch's Mulholland Dr., but I won't get into that!
I should have mentioned the tone setting opening number which was almost like Chazelle saying "This is a musical and these are the rules" so no one is under any illusion about what is to come, such as some audience members with Sweeney Todd when they walked out because they weren't expecting people to sing! |
we all give different opinion and tones of the film, some people might go in detail about the characters, other people might say about the story lines, while other just might say what they liked or disliked and why, every opinion different
