Serendipity

In his analysis of the 2017 movie La La Land, writer Charles Morris describes Sebastian’s song “City of Stars” as describing divine providence and the questions surrounding situations and potential forces guiding our lives. “Hollywood loves to make these kinds of movies. They might call it chance—or worse ‘The Universe’—but filmmakers and audience alike cheer for films that celebrate unexpected triumphs, survivals, and romances. Serendipity is fun to watch!” (Charles Morris, “La La Land & Providence,” Haven, February 21, 2017, https://haventoday.org/blog/la-la-land-providence/).
