Social engineering. Emperor's new clothes etc.

I'd say it's more likely attributable to the halo effect.

When somebody thinks a movie is good, they're more likely to say that the individual attributes of a movie (including the singing) are good.

Because to untrained normie ears everybody who can hold a pitch and make a slight vibrato is a re-born pavarotti with the talent of mozart. Why do you think so many fagboys make it big on YT doing acoustic covers of popular songs? Eponine was one of the few professionaly trained singers in Les Miserable and yet the Oscar went to Anne because muh headshave and muh closeups on her throat when she sang to imply vocal mastery.

Singing is a pretty easy skill to pick up unless you've serious problems. It's not hard to sing acceptably, and you don't really need to be a heroic lyric singer to pull out a decent performance

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

Anne Hathaway has a lyric-soprano vocal range so she should be a pretty skilled singer:

What's funny is that people are acknowledging that the cast can't sing or dance as good as Broadway.

Apparently this was a deliberate choice by La La Land's director as if people wouldn't praise this film if the main cast could actually sing and dance.

They don't have to sing well, they don't have to either. Have you seen Everyone Says I Love You? Most people there are mediocre to bad singers but that's beside the point of a musical. It's not the opera nor broadway, they're supposed to be real "people" (characters) singing, that's it.

What the fuck? They chose Ryan Gosling because they knew he would cause the film to make more money.

>They don't have to sing well, they don't have to either
