if you've ever enjoyed a musical, film or otherwise, you owe it to yourself to see it it's a fairly straight forward "boy and girl meet antagonistically then fall in love" romcom plot but it moves along quickly enough to keep the pace light, the musical numbers are all excellent, and just when the movie starts to feel too long it ends with one of the best film sequences all year

Just moved to LA from NYC and I don't usually gravitate toward musicals, but this absolutely blew me away. Couldn't stop grinning (and tearing up at points). Jammed the soundtrack on my drive to work and not even the traffic could get me down.

I'd like to see it. Ryan Gosling is one of my favourite actors.

it's a musical about jazz for people who don't really love musicals or jazz, but it was pleasant enough. good beginning and ending but weak middle.

My friend was an extra on a Woody Allen film and he got to talk to Emma Stone for a few minutes, she said he looked like a Wes Anderson character.

I absolutely disliked it. Oscar bait with no personality, originality and character. Hard pass!

quote:"Who are we? And, you know, what is Hollywood anyway? It's just a bunch of people from other places." These words from actress Meryl Streep after accepting the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the 74th Annual Golden Globe Awards were an appeal to the importance and the power of the arts – the power of movies to fight back against real violence in the world. "Hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners," she said, "and if we kick them all out, you'll have nothing to watch but football and mixed martial arts, which are not the arts."

it was a pleasant movie. there's no violence really and no one ever threatens another person's life.

if it loses Best Picture it'll be an even bigger shock than when Brokeback Mountain lost to Crash

This movie was good, and I liked it. I liked the actors. I liked the songs. The story was...there. But man. Through no fault of its own, yet another movie *about* white people struggling in Hollywood is going to sweep the awards season. If they're not going to give awards to the objectively best movies (which everyone recognizes and accepts) then maybe something like Moonlight should win. gently caress it, though. Everyone knows they're all just popularity contests and most of the voters don't even see half of the nominated movies.

I'm not. I liked the movie and I'm glad a lot of people have watched it and liked it and it made a lot of money and Ryan Gosling was so pretty. And Emma Stone was pretty too I guess.

I mean of the oscars. Theyre fine. It's a cool spectacle that gets normies to watch good movies. Of course their not fair but no art contest is. It doesn't matter if moonlight or la la land wins, both are fine.

the reason La La Land will win is not because ~white people~ but because it's a movie about Hollywood, and there is no better way to guarantee a major awards haul than to play to the egos of Academy voters. see also: Birdman, The Artist i haven't seen it since movies are too expensive in NYC. i'm sure it's a pleasant way to kill some time, but it screams that it's pandering

It definitely panders (a lot), but that didn't stop me from really enjoying it. It made me have a theater experience I wasn't used to having with both happy and sad beats played different than a lot of other movies.

Im a sucker for Busby Berkeley sized spectacles and in an age where stuff like that simply doesn't exist it was awesome to see. It has a very weird fetishization of Hollywood's Golden Age that rings especially bizarre considering the guy who wrote it was born in the 80s but whatever. People love pining for old crap.
