Wow this was ultrashitty even without considering its dishonesty

Are you a soccer mom?

I liked how the movie most of the time looked like it took place in a painting

Soccer moms talk like that? Sweet.

>wendigos don't have many beef tacos
You're right, they eat people.

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.

2/10 - at least it looked decent

Same. Great palette. As a musical it was weak unfortunately. I especially didn't care for the intro musical number. The song & emotion was incongruent with the actual setting being established. Nobody is happy sitting in a traffic jam. It was like I was watching some Sesame Street bullshit with how peppy everyone danced and when that band busted out of the back of a moving truck (wtf?) I knew this "musical" would definitely be a farce.

This director has a hard on for jazz. It's kinda weird. No offense to jazz fiends

It's a good movie until the characters meet at minute 40, then it nosedives badly
Unlike whiplash that starts from the bottom getting better to best throughout the movie, building up the plot until it reaches and concludes with the finest ending a movie needs to have

>I've never seen a movie made before 1975: The Post.

>Nobody is happy sitting in a traffic jam.
Holy shit, you're describing the entire point of the move to yourself and somehow not getting it.

La La Land is about pretending there's hope when there is none. Dead music, dashed dreams. Retreating into fantasy to avoid despair or pure misanthropy.

*movie

I've seen loads

Not if you raise the kind of objections you did.

Honestly, this is the shittest board ranking

When was this film made? Also gosling and stone both suck they have shit it up thrice with zero chemistry.

You got a good point there. I still can't stand the intro for how insipid it plays out.
>La La Land is about pretending there's hope when there is none
How does that match up with the ending when both characters get exactly what they wanted? Or are you telling me they didn't actually get what they wanted? (happiness together)

Well it's a bait image.

>a movie isn't about how depressed life is so it's bad

People run into each other all the time, they fulfill their dreams all the time. Sometimes they chase their dreams and it works. They did work hard at it, but luck and happenstance ALWAYS plays a huge part of it. How do you think most people meet? Through fucking coincidence.


The substance is that it's a lovestory between two people who want to break through in Hollywood. Not everything has to be about some loner NEET who sits on a Singaporean whale hunting message board all day posting about his clear detachment from anything good in life who will end up killing himself out of sheer boredom. Movies are allowed to be nice, retard.

Some small edits for you.

i applaud what they were trying to do in subverting the musical genre because that genre is trite, awful and in dire need of a refresh. i just think they still had to have good singers and dancers in it.

and the director is equally sensational and contrived in his writing so couldn't be the man to achieve it

Give it up you dipshit, you've clearly seen nothing classical.

Exactly, they didn't get what they wanted finally.

They weren't trying to subvert the musical genre, you'd have to be a child to think that that's worth doing. The point of the film is to subvert everything since Jacques Demy. Watch Guy and Madeleine on a Park Bench. This is who Chazelle is, and I assume it won't be his last musical.

>thinks Gosling and Stone are good actors
>trys to sound smart
*tips*

oh my god his opinion is the same as that of one of the most popular sites in the world.

Therefore we must assume he's dumb!

I just liked that the movie looked so fucking pretty. The colors are amazing. Standard plot and music, though

>5% female
Fucking how? Obviously there would be more men, but do women just not like to talk about movies?

No the kicker is you have the same opinion as r/movies (no surprise that Sup Forums is reddit). The hilarious part is you actually thinking either of those jokers can act.

I know right? Why would he even say that?

I agree, a beautiful looking movie. But the songs all had a bland peppy saameness. I can't remember one after viewing the film.
Also, the actors were weak singers.
The only way this won any Oscars is that Hollywood loves itself so much.

they really don't.

I mean seriously, I don't know a single woman who is 'into' movies and the few I do know that have a passing interest treat it more as a means of interacting with men: memorizing plot points and popular arguments to keep up, but not really getting into the thrill of a good story.

Not with the huge losers on tv or reddit they don't

hey are you still here? :^)

>it's another move starring $WhosHotRightNowMaleActor & $WhosHotRightNowFemaleActor!

I'm getting sick of seeing Gosling's face everywhere. The new Blade Runner will be the last nail in the coffin.
