15 Recent Movie Characters Destined To Be Iconic

It is difficult to separate these two and state who is more iconic, based on the simple fact that, for the film to fundamentally work, they need each other.

Centred around Sebastian, a struggling jazz musician, and Mia, an aspiring actress, the duo meet purely by chance, and their romance blossoms almost immediately. In what is largely a tragic story about two artists desiring the best for each other whilst unable to support both their own goals as well as their partners, Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone's natural chemistry is undeniable throughout.

Despite these unfortunate events of undesirable compromise, missed opportunities and, in the end, a love that just cannot be, there is an inspiring message for all aspiring artists. Whether you be a musician, an actress, a writer, a painter, an animator or a designer, you must chase your dreams and grab any opportunity with both hands.

In the closing moments of the film, Mia, who is now a successful actress and happily married, discovers that Sebastian has been able to open his own jazz club, just as he always wanted. Despite their relationship not working, they achieve their dreams and are far better off for it, including being happy for one another.

Sebastian and Mia are the embodiment of taking chances and never giving up, because you never know when you'll strike gold and make your dream a reality.
