Estuve viendo el
pasado fin de semana la película protagonista de los últimos Óscar: La La Land.
Y fue protagonista involuntaria, ya que protagonizó el mayor gazapo de la
historia de los premios, al ser llamada como mejor película, cuando en realidad
la premiada era Moonlight. Aún así, La La Land triunfó al ser la película con
más premios: mejor director, mejor actriz, mejor banda sonora, mejor canción
original, mejor diseño de producción y mejor fotografía.
Y, como se ve, su
potencia como musical es clara y ganó los dos premios al respecto, destacando
las dos candidaturas a mejor canción: City of Stars (que da nombre a la
película en España: La Ciudad de las Estrellas: La La Land, y que fue la ganadora) y Audition (The
fools who dream).
En este post quiero
destacar la segunda por su preciosa letra, cantada por Emma Stone, ganadora del
Óscar a mejor actriz, que hace referencia a esos locos que soñamos con poder
ser lo que queramos…porque como dice la canción: “A bit of madness is key”, un
poco de locura es clave.
My aunt used to live in
Paris.
I remember, she used to come home and tell us these stories about being abroad and I remember she told us that she jumped into the river once, barefoot.
She smiled...
Leapt, without looking
And tumbled into the Seine
The water was freezing
She spent a month sneezing
But said she would do it again
Here's to the ones who dream
Foolish as they may seem
Here's to the hearts that ache
Here's to the mess we make
She captured a feeling
Sky with no ceiling
The sunset inside a frame
She lived in her liquor
And died with a flicker
I'll always remember the flame
Here's to the ones who dream
Foolish as they may seem
Here's to the hearts that ache
Here's to the mess we make
She told me:
"A bit of madness is key
To give us new colors to see
Who knows where it will lead us?
And that's why they need us"
So bring on the rebels
The ripples from pebbles
The painters, and poets, and plays
And here's to the fools who dream
Crazy as they may seem
Here's to the hearts that break
Here's to the mess we make
I trace it all back to then
Her, and the snow, and the Seine
Smiling through it
She said she'd do it again
