I saw La La Land with Pearl. In a strange way, the movie's melancholy story about a couple who falls in love only to be separated by their life's ambitions touched me. The light-hearted music and joyful choreography routines capture the rhythm of our times -- the perfect balance to a depressing Trump Presidency.
How a simple movie makes me question the meaning of career, as I inch closer to retirement age is bewildering.
The movie's planetarium scenes nostalgically reminds me of our night in LA a few years ago when we serendipitously visited, after a long day traveling, the museum on an open house night -- a fun filled event hosted by local astronomers.
City of Stars are you shining just for me!
