What the fuck are you talking about.

>>79872145
You didn't see the rip-off that was La La Land? It was basically a remake of Umbrellas and An American in Paris. Both stylistically and plot-wise. The ending dance was basically a shot for shot remake of an American in Paris. The music also sucked.

wow what a story

>>79872020
What the fuck bro?

dont get offended

reddit doesn't watch movies other then guardians of the galaxy

He's a fucking hack. Literally the only reason he has a career is Hollywood execs give him money mistakenly thinking he's David Chappelle

>>79872167
I like how when you conveniently don't like something popular, you can just call something paying homage a "rip off"

>>79872222
Homage is one thing a shot for shot remake of their choreography is another

>Called a genius by both Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese
No... That never happened.
>Massive critical & commercial success for his 2 feature films
He's done more than 2 features... Just because nobody gave a fuck about him before Whiplash doesn't mean we get to just write out everything else.
>Respected by all the people working with him
So is Guy Ritchie... what does that mean?

If La La Land wasn't about L.A./Hollywood/Artistic pursuit it would have gotten shit. It's a completely average romance, following the same obstacles and trajectory as Whiplash, with tossed in sequences of ripped musical numbers that clash in the beginning then completely disappear by the second act. The "references" aren't even fun like Tarantino movies because, unlike Tarantino movies, Chazelle has no sense of world building and tone. Tarantino makes movies where his "references" come out in a world that they can exist. La La Land just has the regular world, the Whiplash world shot at sunset, but with musical reference numbers. Obviously he is a fantastic director in terms of just putting the whole thing together, and there are brilliant fucking moments throughout the movie, but overall it's not nearly as good as it could have or should have been and it's entirely the fault of Chazelle. He should not have one director but then again I don't know who should have, this year has one of the worst selections I've seen in a while.

Not OP, but I think it's from a Hollywood Reporter video a few months ago.

>>79872369
To be fair Guy Richie is pretty lovable

>>79872222
Paying homage and ripping off are very different and the line between is very thin. All you have to do to know that is look at Student/Indie Films. La La Land is like a massively produced, A-list acted, extremely well crafted student film, but a student film non the less.

Wait...rich since birth?

My respect has dropped massively.

From the first trailer I was thinking Umbrellas + Punch Drunk.

They literally stole the Punch Drunk font and color bloom title cards. Like straight ripped.

Yall's mad jelly. This guy is the greatest director since Xavier Dolan.

>>79872493
That's legit money though, I can't hate on professor money. I was expecting scumbag money.

>I looked everywhere and found nothing.
I don't remember man, I think they were talking about Chazelle but he wasn't there

>>79872525
He went on to claim important research positions at institutions such as Carnegie Mellon, Brown, NEC, Xerox PARC, the Institute for Advanced Study, and the Paris institutions École normale supérieure, École polytechnique, Inria, and Collège de France. He is a fellow of the ACM, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, and NEC, as well as a member of the European Academy of Sciences. He has also written essays about music and politics.

His dad is legit

The director of Moonlight (Barry Jenkins) is his friend by the way

>>79872591

B-U-L-L, that spells "Friend".

>>79872591
That doesn't give him Best Picture though.

What about La La Land was reminiscent of The Umbrellas of Cherbourg besides the lovers meeting years after their breakup for the final scene in the film?

I've seen TUoC at least ten times, I've only seen La La Land once so I'm happy to have other similarities pointed out to me if you're able.
I thought La La Land was excellent. I was actually impressed with its ability to pay homage to so many greats (the telegraph pole which was basically the exact shot from Singin' in the Rain, for example) without losing its own sense of story; I certainly wouldn't call it a "rip-off", at any rate.

>>79872020
uh these types really fucking annoy me. so smug. wow u fucking went to harvard. when i make my masterpiece i will have actually had to 'make it' knowing literally know one, on pure talent alone
