Musical for the new era

Some of the world’s most famous movies, like The Sound of Music（《音乐之声》）and Singin’ in the Rain(《雨中曲》), are musicals. These are both very old movies, though. It seemed as if musicals had gone out of fashion.

But La La Land, a new musical by US director Damien Chazelle, 32, had made the genre(类型) popular again. “Brilliantly written and directed, La La Land gives movie musicals life in the 21st century,” Peter Travers wrote for Rolling Stone.

Starring US actor Ryan Gosling, 36, and actress Emma Stone, 28, the movie was released in Chinese mainland on Feb14. Set in the colorful world of Hollywood’s film and music scene, the two characters-a jazz musician and an actress-sing and dance their way to love.

It has made history as the first film to win seven Golden Globe(金球奖) awards. It has also been nominated(提名) for a record-equaling 14 Oscars.

Other popular movies of today are often about violence(暴力),war, drugs(毒品) or politics. Thanks to Chazelle’s creative style, original music and wonderful location(地点), La La Land has a light feel that will put you in a good mood.

The opening scene, when hundreds of people in a traffic jam start singing , “will be studied and swooned(着迷) over for years to come,” according to Travers. “The very fact that it doesn’t have a strong political message, but is still good enough to win awards, is what makes La La Land so unusual,” Nicholas Barber, wrote for the BBC. “It is intimate(亲切的) and personal and magical.”

1.What does Peter Travers think of La La Land?

A. It is better than The Sound of Music.

B. Its genre is out of fashion.

C. It’s a love story about a jazz musician and an actress.

D. It has won seven Golden Globe and 14 Oscars.

3.La La Land contains_______.

Why is setting goals important? Because goals can help you experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen.

1. It's life having a sign to show you where you want to go. Think of it in this way. There are two drivers. One has a place clearly in mind which can be found on a map. He can drive straight there surely without any wasted time. The other driver has no goal or map.

2. But she drives aimlessly(无目的地) around, never getting anywhere, just using up oil. Which driver do you want to be?

3. They decide what they want in life and then get there by setting goals and making plans. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren’t difficult to set, and they aren’t difficult to reach.

4. You are the one who must decide what to achieve and what direction you want to aim your life.

5. They are harder to forget. Also when you write your goals in your own way, you are able to make yourself realize situations that will bring you closer to your goals.
