Here it is my Always Lalisa Thread #AlwaysLalisa #TIFF Warning: If you want to watch the movie without any spoilers, please do not read my thread.

I'm so happy I was able to go to the premiere. I think this was so well done. I honestly wasnt sure how honest it would be just bc I'm so used kpop being censored or always tiptoeing around topics but I was pleasantly surprised at some of the things they touched on.

The movie starts with a little summary about Lisa, how she's a member of Blackpink and how shes about to be on a break for the first time and have a year to herself. She talks about how she wants to experience freedom she's never had.

The movie showed some childhood videos and pictures I've never seen before. Both her mom and step dad talk in the doc about how long she's wanted this, and there are videos of young Lisa in Korea with her stepdad. Her moments with her family made me tear up not gonna lie.

She also talks about her dancing days as a kid and she had a dance trainer that she credits for helping her become who she is today. He encouraged her to continue to grow and even encouraged her to take on singing. Lisa cries talking about him and you could just see

How much he meant to her. She says that she wouldnt be where she is without him. He unfortuately passed away from cancer but she was able to go to him and tell him she passed her yg audition and became a trainee before he passed. You could tell he meant so much to her.

I loved seeing all the vids of young Lisa. The movie went into the making of the album and going into the recording studio. So Lisa when she was first working on this album talks about how with bp they always worked with just 1 producer but now suddenly she has her own

Company and suddenly she needs to find and work with new producers and she's shy about opening up. Now this next part made me cry. She talked earlier in the doc about as a kid she took singing lessons and she really wanted to sing but YG placed her as a rapper and didnt expect

Her to sing. At one point for one of her trainee video submissions she wanted to sing a bruno mars song so she worked with the vocal coach and recorded her singing it and she submitted it and YG told her to redo the video and do a rap instead bc the bosses wont like it.

After the feedback she talked to the vocal coach who worked with her to get the bruno mars cover done and even they were confused bc they were like 'you sounded great I dont get why yg wont accept it' but that moment shattered her confidence in singing and from that moment on

She never submitted a singing video submission as a trainee ever again. They showed her recording the album and doing some of the vocal songs and you could see she can do it but shes just not confident in herself, I think the clips were from the earlier days of her recording

But the producers talk about how over the progression of the album she started to open up. Even Lisa mentions that over the progression of the album she would start getting random ideas and sending them to Alice. The movie also talked about them stepping away from yg and becoming

LLOUD and how they literally had to figure everything out themselves. Lloud started as just Lisa and Alice and every step was a learning curve for them. There was also a section about White Lotus and the producers and djrector of the project talk about originally not wanting

Lisa on the project bc they were like we dont want a diva and someone who needs a bunch of security around her etc., but then they were like lets meet her and pretty much fell in love with her and were like 'we need her' they talked about how Lisa threw the best parties and

Everyone loved Lisa and couldnt stop smiling when they were with her. Lisa talked about how being a kpop star is so restricting. She talks about how with yg she needed to get permission to go anywhere, couldnt go clubbing or see friends or travel. She said the first time she went

To a club she was 25 years old. She also talked about dating and how kpop idols cant date and how when she was in relationships she had to hid it and would just end it bc she didnt want to bring blackpinks popularity down. She mentioned that if youre found to be dating your

Popularity goes down. The movie followed the timeline of alter egos release and discussed the leak and the reception of the album (including the negative). Alice talked about how the leak was so frustrating and how she new Lisa would be disappointed. As soon as they found out

They had everyone on it reporting all the leaks. Lisa talks about the Lisa and says she doesnt understand why people leak things and dont consider the artist and that she wishes the person who leaked her album never does that again to anyone. Regarding the reception of the album

Lisa talks about the disappointment of people not getting it and not liking it. I was surprised they even brought that up to be honest. But she did talk about haters and stalkers and things like that. Another thing they discussed was the n word thing. She talked about how she

Was a child at the time, from Thailand, who did not have english as a first language and the company expected her to do rap songs. She didnt know what the word meant and that she shouldnt have been saying it. But she said she's now educated and aware and she would never say

Something like that. Lloud actually wanted to put out a statement but it seemed like YG didnt really want that, and bc there was also death threats attached to it they didnt want to blow it up anymore.

The doc talked about Lisa and wanted to get married eventually and have kids. Lisa's step dad has poor health and one of her dreams is to have him walk her down the aisle and she started crying thinking about him potentially not being there for her when she gets married.

But she talks about how she knows fans would be disappointed if she got married. The doc had a few behind the scenes of different music videos and the When I'm with You video behind the scene was funny bc Lisa was talking about how hot and manly the main guy shes interacting with

Is LOL. There were also a few cute moments of Lisa with friends, going out to get food, her showing them her album, her out bowling etc. A big focus was on getting ready for coachella and showed some of the behind the scenes of that, practicing dancing, outfit checks, camera work

Etc. It also showed Lisa working with her vocal coach and the choreographer and getting feedback and finalizing things. Then at coachella her mom talks about how proud she is and how she cant believe how many people came to see Lisa. It showed Rosé and Jennie visiting Lisa

But it was literally like 5 seconds. The doc also showed how some ppl came around to understanding the Alter Ego concept after coachella bc earlier they talked about ppl not liking the concept and being confused about it. They even show the pitchfork review. But after coachella

Ppl got it. Sorry cant relate I loved Alter Ego from day 1. But anyways she then returns to Korea to rejoin Blackpink and the movie ends with her talking about fate. She says she believes in fate but that she also has the power to make choices and choose her own future.

The end credit was a new song and I was like hold up?? Idk this song. It was like a proper song with singing, no rapping, at least from the snippet. And it was really bright and poppy I really enjoyed the snippet. Its called "Leave with Me".

I think thats it, maybe I forgot things I'm sorry im so overwhelmed but yea I really enjoyed it. Afterwards they did a q&a with Lisa and the director Sue Kim. I recorded some of it, here it is:
