As Planned, watched this movie again Tonight and I liked it even better the second time. Such a beautiful Movie.
The ending is sad when she is fantasizing at how her life would have been with him.
@Actarus
Funny, I interpreted it as HIS fantasy not Hers. Re-living all the moments they had, what he wished he done differently, and what could have been.
Who's to say it's not a shared fantasy?
Because I honestly like the idea that both of them are thinking about what might have been. It is sad for their love for each other, but it's happy because they both had their career dreams come true.

I do think we've got to the point where these releases should contain both blu-ray and 4k. Simply no excuse. We've had some examples already at no extra cost.
I've preordered both the steelbook & the 4K release from Amazon but I'd be all for this becoming more of the norm.
But it's costing you money. Both should be in there. No excuse from the studio or they should make it a point of making sure at least for steelbooks that they contain the blu-ray and 4k. So for example. Say X film is put out as a steelbook. It should be a blu-ray and 4k and the standard blu-ray version should be the blu-ray and DVD. That way the steelbook buyer is getting value for their money.
I guess it could be seen that way as it first started that he kissed her in the restaurant instead of pushing her aside, but when we were seeing ''what could have been'' it look so close to everything she had done like in the car turning for the restaurant, coming back from the restaurant to go to the Jazz Club. It is only her that has done this and it was in the fantasy. But in any case whether it is his or hers or shared it was sad... but still so beautiful
That's rubbish. Why would I want to pay more for a 4K disc that I will not use?
You're missing the point. At some stage you may upgrade to 4K and that's where it would come in useful. You're buying the blu-ray for HD so it makes sense to have another HD format that you may use at some stage than a SD format which you may never use or have given up on or why would you be buying the set to begin with. I'll bet 99.9% of people here rarely watch the DVD versions any more unless the DVD has something unique which is not on the blu-ray. The fact that the recent One Million Years Years BC is a steelbook blu-ray only release says it all.
Yes, most U.K. steelbook and Amaray releases nowadays no longer have the DVDs so prevalent in the early days when many releases - steelbooks and Amarays (particularly the Disney releases) - were Double Play or Triple Play. Notable exceptions nowadays being Eureka and Arrow both of which still insist on the DVDs in 99% of cases.
Now to futureproof these lovely steelbook releases with the addition of 4K discs (where available) and keep the prices at between GBP 18.99 and 24.99.
On the other hand most annoying when they print DVD on the spines of steelbooks when there are no DVDs inside . . . (TERMINATOR GENISYS and TED 2 - the one they put an ugly white sticker on to cover the DVD logo - as just two examples).

One Million Years Years BC was released last year on Amaray with Slipcover included Blu-ray and DVD it's the same remastered video and extras
Same Blu-ray that's in the Steelbook
4K UHD is years away from been mainstream
Most of the public don't have need to change their HD 1080p TV or 1080p Blu-ray Player as most only purchased in last 4-6 years
Before that it was 1080i HD TV or 720p HD TV
1080p HD TV last over 10 years
No need for customers be forced into paying extra for a 4K UHD Blu-ray they wont be using for another 4-5 years
If they went 4K UHD Blu-ray only for films right now it would suffer from lack of sales
It's only customers who purchased a new TV in last 1-2 years that have 4K TV and some who like having the latest tech devices

I have no Interest in 4K and Yes there is a premium in the pricing on the average 4K release. The titles that are same pricing are not the norm.
For now HD1080p Blu-rays provide me with amazing movie experience and right now I will support 3D releases as Opposed to 4K.
If it comes for free then it's fine by me, but I will not pay extra and will go out of my way to find an edition without paying extra for 4K.

we don't pay extra for a DVD included in a release, but we generally do pay for the 4K Disk(they are not as ''free'' as you may think)
From Amazon;
La La Land Blu-ray Steelbook £21.99
La La Land(Amaray) Blu-ray £15.00
La La Land(Amaray) Blu-ray + 4K Ultra HD £21.99 (£6.99 extra)
I'm comparing steelbook prices with steelbook prices not to standard blu-ray sets. The 4k/ blu-ray prices are the same as the blu-ray/DVD prices for steelbooks.
