Ryan Gosling is in it

Why?

I didn't see it, so it can't be that good.

It's like they took Grease and made it 10 times gayer.

Because the only people I've seen criticizing it are claiming it's racist, or they have issues with the plot, as if this is the kind of movie that demands strict realism.

Not enough negros, hence why Moonlight beat it.

>los angeles
>a good city

i thought it was a legit good movie and i fucking hate musicals. losers hate on it just to be contrarian.

My criticism is that sometimes I really didn't like the camera work. It generally had very good cinematography, but I sometimes found myself thinking "why would you leave that flawed take in the movie", like camera shaking or useless pans. I don't know. It probably bothered me because it was mostly good on that area and the little flaws were more noticeable.

Emma wasn't naked enough.

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

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.

As a tribute to Old Hollywood musicals, it really fell short. Chazelle was so laser-focused on getting his wanky one-take shots of Goose and Frog dancing that it really detracted from their performances. Just cutting every 15-20 seconds or so during the scene in OP's photo would have granted the actors a lot more room to make mistakes, instead of the jerky, over-choreographed, "if we fuck this up we have to shoot the whole last three minutes again God please help me I will kill this fucking director", nonsense we ended up with in the final edit. Compare Goose and Frog's dancing to Kelly and Caron in An American in Paris and tell me honestly if you think La La Land is even remotely comparable.

Emma Stone is so fuckable here.

The songs are shit and the "story" is predictable.
>inb4 you wipe away those legit criticisms as subjective or irrelevant to this type of film all the while being unaware that those counter points can be made for any criticism of any film

>complaining about the plot

Who would've thought La La Land would be such a pleb filter?

You know somebody is trying too hard when they act like the story doesn't matter, especially in something like a musical.

The story does everything it needs to do. The movie is visual bliss from start to finish.

boring as fuck. literally no shooting or action scenes.

Go watch a screensaver then if a few pretty colors are all it takes to make your dick hard.

I didn’t watch this movie but here’s my opinion:

this board is overrun with Sup Forumsfags and needs to be gassed

La La Land is literal Kino. If you disagree, you don't belong here.

There is no 30 minute close up of Emma's perfect feet

She's super adorable in this movie. A good actress too. Easily the best Emma.
