In a recent interview with the WSJ Magazine, Ryan Gosling recollected shooting for the film with special reference to the scene which i featured on the film’s posters. “There's a moment that haunts me where we're dancing, Emma and I. I didn't know this would become the poster for the movie. We were supposed to have our hands up, and I thought it'd be cool to put my hand like that (shows a flat angle). Even though everyone told me it wasn't cool, I was sure that [a flat hand] was cooler than [pointing up]. Now when I look at it and I have to see it all the time, you know what would have been cooler than this? That. It just killed the energy that way. It was sort of like, all leading to what? Just like a lazy … I call it La La Hand. I thought it would help in La La Land and then, of course, hamburger-hands Gosling over here. It didn’t help me at all in the end,” Ryan said.
