Holy shit

holy shit

i havent seen thi son here bu maybe i missed it because its like 2 months old now. but wow i just saw this and the music is real good. lets talk about it

Yeah man it's really good. I dig that Ryan Gosling actually played the piano parts.

Lie Lie Land is a live-action Disney movie. Except Disney movies have better soundtracks, characters, and the struggles faced by those characters aren't fucking retarded. Hollywood hasn't put out a movie this self-masturbatory since The Artist. It is honestly unbelievable how shallow this garbage is.

>dude just follow ur dreams no matter how delusional lmao

The movie justifies this idiotic moral by having the characters achieve their insipid dreams through luck and happenstance rather than hard work. Mia shits out a single one-woman show and does one performance of it; of the 8 people in the crowd, one is a casting agent who falls in love with her and delivers her an A-list acting career on a silver platter. Seb's friend bumps into him, and immediately offers him a job. Following that, despite the decline of jazz in LA and having no experience running a business, Seb ends up owning a hugely successful jazz club. I am sure it is very easy to romanticize succeeding in Hollywood through dumb luck when the people making the film did just that. Many of the scenes in the film were homages, but it doesn't justify them. The overlong scenes of Seb and Mia dancing against romantic backgrounds get old very quickly, and just hammer home the fact that there is no substance to this film. It is also surprising that the relationship at the core of this film only came about due to coincidence; these two run into each other 3 times for no reason other than convenience for the writer.

Chazelle obviously has the self-awareness to realize how saccharine and empty the movie was. In order to make it seem like something other than a sugary bowl of sunshine, he attempts to give it a "bittersweet" ending, but he even fails here -- both characters get everything they wanted out of life.

>b-but they don't end up together, they were meant for each other

You have to be a teen girl to even consider this line of thinking.

3.5/10 - at least it looked good

OFFICIAL SONGS POWER RANKING:
Someone in the Crowd>Audition Song>Another Day of Sun>City of Stars>dont remember the others LOL

is this pasta? you can compare any film to being unrealistic. thats why its a movie. if it were just normal peoples lives nobody would watch it. now we are here to talk about music anyways. maybe you should go complain on Sup Forums.

That film is fucking dogshit

The Artist isn't a Hollywood movie. Stopped right there desu.

It's really, really good. Totally deserves the Oscar nominations (if the Oscars mean anything). And the soundtrack has been stuck in my head since i watched it a month ago. Sometimes while walking down the street i get an unexplainable urge to dance. I blame Emma Stone.

What? As a musical fan, I thought every song in this was total shite. The songs were uninteresting, the story was unrelatable, the genre was just white-people music, the film-making was unremarkable, the choreography was barely existing, and Ryan Gosling's singing is atrocious. Why is this film so highly lauded?

This is a musical for people who hate musicals

weak narrative, good movie, great soundtrack. favorite tracks are a lovely night, the audition song and someone in the crowd.

r-racists!

This.

Even the absolute shitfest that was Hamiliton beats this hackneyed shit by a mile.

Look everyone! it's a contrarian in its wild habitat.

>Hamilton
>Better than La La Land
C'mon now. Deep down you gotta know that's a lie.
>Jazz
>White

>white man says jazz

What? You saying entire genre of white because a white guy said it? That's like saying the entire genre of rock is black because of Jimi Hendrix

you gonna ignore the fact
a white man is the one to bring back jazz

I mean they're both shit musicals so it wouldn't make much of a difference if it was a lie.

Anyways, Hamilton is better b/c at least the styles that are mixed within the musical format is somewhat novel. Meanwhile, La La Land is complete triteness all the way through

I really hope this Damien Chazelle doesn't become a thing in Hollywood. Whiplash was shit and La La Land is even worse.

>fucking idiot analyzes a movie 101

...

This is some pretty dishonest pasta desu

>Whiplash was shit

>Presumes to deserve any more words

I really liked it. The music didn't blow me away but it was just a really fun charming movie. Next to all the other dark depressing serious oscar dramas it was a breath of fresh air that was nothing like anything else this year.
