by

Over the course of five years, Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone have shared the screen in a total of three movies, forming what could be considered an unofficial romantic trilogy. While their paths into Hollywood were slightly different – Gosling initially excelling in dramatic roles and Stone gaining recognition for her comedic performances – both have since showcased their versatility as actors through their joint projects. Over time, their collaborations have solidified their status as one of Hollywood’s cherished acting pairs, even though they’ve only appeared together in three films: Crazy, Stupid, Love, Gangster Squad, and La La Land.

Ever since their first film together, “Crazy, Stupid, Love,” the undeniable connection and complementary acting skills between Gosling and Stone have drawn more focus from viewers and critics alike. Their collaborations led to Oscar nominations for Best Actor (Gosling) and Actress (Stone), with the latter winning the award. Despite the varying tones of their films, they consistently present an enchanting on-screen romance that leaves audiences both laughing and crying.

The Unofficial Ryan Gosling & Emma Stone Love Trilogy Explained

Gosling And Stone Gradually Fall In Love Throughout Their Collaborative Movies

Initially, Gosling and Stone shared the screen for the first time in the romantic comedy “Crazy, Stupid, Love”. The film explores multiple intertwined love stories, primarily revolving around Steve Carell’s character, Cal Weaver. Ryan Gosling portrays Jacob, a habitual womanizer, who assists Cal in his romantic pursuits, all while developing a relationship with Hannah, played by Emma Stone. Their characters’ contrasting personalities are skillfully portrayed by the actors, and by the end of the movie, Hannah manages to shift Jacob’s viewpoint on love.

In the star-studded cast of “Crazy, Stupid, Love,” it’s the dynamic performances by Gosling and Stone that truly shine. Their on-screen romance carries significant narrative importance, much like the central theme of Cal’s divorce. This captivating love story weaves seamlessly into a series of interconnected romantic tales and offers a delightful plot twist, serving as an engaging introduction to their fictional relationship in “Crazy, Stupid, Love.

Movie Year Rotten Tomatoes Score
Crazy, Stupid, Love 2011 79%
Gangster Squad 2013 30%
La La Land 2016 91%

In the movie “Gangster Squad,” the romance between Gosling and Stone is more complex and filled with tension. Unlike other films in their love trilogy, this crime thriller is less romantic overall. However, their intriguing relationship stands out amidst the film’s otherwise unremarkable aspects. The love story of Jerry Wooters (played by Gosling) and Grace Faraday (played by Stone) unfolds against a backdrop of crime and covert operations. Despite the characters being largely superficial, the tension surrounding their relationship is compelling enough to draw in viewers.

In their romantic trilogy, the last movie by Gosling and Stone is Damien Chazelle’s “La La Land.” Here, they portray struggling artists in Los Angeles, striving to fulfill their dreams as a musician and actress. Critics have showered “La La Land” with exceptional acclaim, which is well-deserved given its stunning visuals, captivating script, and lively musical performances. However, the film truly shines due to the undeniable chemistry between Gosling and Stone, as well as their standout acting performances.

The Surprising Ending To Ryan Gosling & Emma Stone’s Movie Trilogy

The Most Romantic Gosling And Stone Film Has The Least Traditional Ending

In contrast to Gosling and Stone’s other romantic films like Crazy, Stupid, Love and Gangster Squad where the couples end up together despite challenges, La La Land offers a unique twist. Instead of a traditional happy ending, the movie follows Sebastian and Mia as they face career opportunities and setbacks. Eventually, they come to understand that they must each choose their personal aspirations over their relationship.

In a refreshing twist, the parting of Sebastian and Mia in “La La Land” feels authentic and fitting, gradually preparing viewers for the film’s poignant finale. The film’s emotional narrative provides an unexpected ending that defies audience assumptions, particularly those who are accustomed to Gosling and Stone’s past on-screen romances where their characters ultimately reconcile. While whether the ending is joyful or sorrowful depends on the viewer, it effectively reinforces the movie’s central themes and leaves a lasting impact, thanks to the convincing performances of both actors.

Gosling & Stone’s Chemistry Makes All 3 Movies Better

The Actors’ Pairing Is A Highlight Of Each Movie

Compared to “Gangster Squad”, both “Crazy, Stupid, Love” and “La La Land” have garnered significantly more acclaim from critics and viewers. Contrary to popular belief, the underwhelming quality of “Gangster Squad” is not due to the acting skills of Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone. In fact, their performance in the film is generally praised, with many critics noting that they make the most of their limited character development, particularly Emma Stone who delivers a compelling romantic chemistry as Grace and Jerry.

As a movie enthusiast, I must say that both “La La Land” and “Crazy, Stupid, Love” wouldn’t be nearly as captivating without the magnetic chemistry of Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone. Their performances effortlessly elevate these films, making it hard to envision any other acting pair taking their places. The clever blend of romance, humor, and drama in each movie is a testament to their combined talent and shared spark. Over the years, their on-screen partnership has created an unofficial love trilogy that audiences have eagerly followed, and I can only hope for more enchanting collaborations between these two outstanding actors in the future.
