>start watching it
>plebbit singing starts playing
>close the vlc

I can't sing.
I can't dance.
I can't jazz.
I drive.

I liked it.

it gets better after the first two songs

...

I fucking hate this shot. It's so ugly.
the trees, the pilons, the fucking bench.
Their goodamm color scheme.

What the fuck were they thinking

>it will look good in the poster

Well, it doesnt

The movie rapidly went downhiill after the first 5 minutes
The ending was OK but it couldn't make up for the boring 2nd act

>this will be considered an iconic and classic shot in fifty years

I watched this and Moonlight back to back.

At the most absurdly generous, they were 6/10's.

Fucking hell. What has American cinema been reduced to?

There were legitimate non-song nominations for this film. Think about how desperate that is.

Probably that they didn't have the money to do it properly. The whole film looked cheap and nasty. Even the Michel Gondry type ending.

Heaps of kino-wannabes look kind of unfinished/incomplete now. It sucks. Cinema is dying. TV isn't doing much better since Netflix keeps producing under budgeted crap everyone has to compete with.

I miss the 90's and even the early 2000's when films had real production budgets.

You can throw Manchester by the Sea in there too, to complete the holy trinity of antikino.

>the Machester by the sea is bad meme

Manchester was alright. 7/10.

Casey Affleck was alright too.

But yeah...Oscar b8 is getting worse.

Mad Max is meant to be the silly choice, not the obviously best film.

I miss when we had guys like PTA or the Coens putting our rapid fire fedora kino.

This stuff isn't even fedora tier or mubi tier. It's just...mediocre.

...

I could only last 15 min of La La Land before I had to turn it off.

>tfw too straight to enjoy musicals

>Too insecure to enjoy musicals
ftfy

manchester was good desu

what a dishonest screenshot

only true faggots hate this movie
great filmmaking, great music, great acting, great ending

fuck you, insecure idiots

>tfw literal tv-tier directors with no iconic style are becoming both the mainstream and the highly-acclaimed standard
>tfw De Palma hasn't made anything cool since Black Dahlia, and even that wasn't as good as Femme Fatale
>Lynch has done nothing since Inland Empire
>Bertolucci gets completely ignored
>Andre Techine completely ignored
>framing has now become completely irrelevant to current movie techniques
>dramatic lighting has been completely thrown out for "realism"
>montage editing has been bastardized completely to hide errors instead of providing quick amazingly-done moments buried in action or peckinpah-style reaction compilations
>80s-style slick commercial bland filmmaking is touted as the superior way to make films by "film buff" millenials who would be appalled at anything that challenges their accepted conventions
>film as a visual medium is dying to be replaced by consequenceless empty plots and """""""witty""""""" mechanical inhuman dialogue
>violence is completely sanitized or made ludicrous to the point of making the audience laugh instead of occasionally grabbing that delectable middle ground of true horror/repulsion that reminds the audience that violence, murder and war are actually quite painful and shitty

What absolute shit taste you have

Was this a student film?
youtube.com/watch?v=UsXfzzK7Ltg

The only part I liked is Goose doing that party stuff in the funny outfit. He has good comic timing.

One of the best films in the past decade could only be a non-board sanitized student film, which in many ways this is. Chazelle came up with the concept and some songs whilst studying at harvard.

Whiplash was so much better, what a downgrade.

>vlc
found the plebbitor

I liked it more then Moonlight

Makes me want to watch it again, what a GOAT scene

Different, not better. They were essentially around the same theme but what whiplash conveyed through intimacy and intensity, la la land conveyed through fantasy and show.

What will be interesting is to see if Chazelle has any other actual plots.

This shit will be totally forgotten like The Artist and Moonlight.

Nah.

La La Land was just lame.

I'm straight as a ruler and I can watch this over and over again.

>mediocre filmmaking

>mediocre premise and script

>mediocre music

>mediocre acting

>ending barely resonates emotionally

Only underage b& mistake this faux kino for quality.

Idk i know a few people who have the dvd and play the songs regularly, which i never knew of most films that do get oscars then fade. I even have the opening track on my phone.

> he unironically posts dirty dancing
What a fucking moron

There are people ITT defending La La Land unironically. What's your problem?

Im not one of them, it was fine - good songs but forgettable. However dirty dancing is hilariously awful and it's just interesting to finally meet someone who blissfully admits liking it.

This proves that if you were a competent director, you don't need gimmicks like one-shots to hide your shitty skills.
>Chazelle
>Innaritu
That copypasta is quite accurate.

>Hilariously awful

Yet it it's less sloppily dashed together and more professional than La La Land.

You'd shit yourself if you knew what my #1 film choice is.

Chazelle can direct. Whiplash was good.

Innaritu is a perfect pleb test. Anyone who likes him is a full blown redditor.

Even cut rate throw away Coppola can produce better work than these two though. Which is sad.

>whiplash was good
It's another film that uses intensity and speed to diguise it's story flaws.

No, the acting is obviously autistically bad but that's fine you haven't said otherwise. The editing is awkward, character motivations either unpleasant or incoherent. The dancing uninspired. I have literally never met a fan of musicals or dance films who has liked it so this is pretty interesting.

Not really much story to be flawed, so you dont know what you're talking about.
