La La Land

This movie is a blur. It has about 5 plus theme to it. I found it to be very amateur, fragmented. Yes, I felt I was in la la land all right. I closed my eyes and slept in the long boring monologue and silences. I would not recommend it to anyone or ever want to see it again. It was a waste of time and money. I thought it was poorly cast except for the actual musicians. In fact that was the only memorable element of this movie was the actual jazz musicians. The performance in the Oscars for this movie was better than the set design for the movie and the dancing for that matter. Movies like this make me never want to see another movie in the theater. The trailer was very deceptive. I could have been enjoying the nice weather and fishing instead. I can't believe this movie won any Oscars at all. It is a travesty towards the art of film making. It appeared to me he took themes from several movies. Jazz movies. Dr. Seuss, Wizard of Oz, Dancing in the rain, Chicago, All that jazz, fame, and a collage of animations. The acting was marginal and unconvincing. One could have made 5 different movies out of this movie at least. I said "oh brother" out loud in the theater when they floated up to the sky in the planetarium they apparently had a key to. Also, I always wonder the director who includes a lot of empty streets with a girl walking alone in 5 inch high heels for blocks on end in the middle of the night. What was the point of this? Lots of questions, lots of loose ends, lots of la la, blah blah If you want to see a well done movie see HIDDEN FIGURES. It is interesting, good pace, consistent, logical, good acting, a well done and thought out film, that will stay with you forever and inspire you to overcome any bigotry one may have knowing talent is not dependent on the color of ones skin.
