I have no idea what this movie is about what it was trying to

What do you mean 'what it was trying to achieve'?

It's a film. It wants to make you empathize with the main characters. Did it, or did it not succeed?

What the fuck are you talking about?

The soundtrack was beautiful too.

I always play Chef's Special while I spread ranch on my hot pockets to feel like I'm making a Chefs special for my waifu.

Are you actually serious? The point of every film is to make you empathize with the main characters?

I found the cinematography, which everybody seems to be raving about, way too jarring and overstylized.
Especially in the first two acts. The high saturation with a hard contrast, blown out whites, videogame character like shiny faces, shaky cam and too many unmotivated camera movements.
Those 360 tracking shots for example, it calls too much attention to itself instead of complimenting the story. The first one in the opening sequence especially, it was almost comical to me.
I know all of those are intentional choices so the third act can be in contrast with the static shots and minimal movements, but still I don't think it justifies to take the viewer out of the great performances with such aggressive visual extravaganza.

La La land was Hollywood sucking its own dick for the first half sure, but it also showed how miserable people end up if they focus on their careers instead of love.

It was also more watchable and enjoyable then Moonlight, the directed wanted people to care more about the black and gay community with that film, but it showed them in such a negative light.

They still gave it to Stone.

And she sucked.

I didn't feel like the movie had any sort of message about blacks or gays. It was just showing the personal development of someone at three points in their life. It's a movie about identity, who we truly are and who we think we need to be to fit in to the world around us. As an asexual Mongolian yak-milker, I still found a lot in the film to relate to.

That good feel when not retarded enough to think that a guy would have half his beard shaven off for some reason
