why did so many people respond to this movie so negatively?
Some people I know have vitriolic hatred for it. Their comments seem pretty petty and semantic, like "why is the white guy playing jazz?" and "why does he need to play 'pure' jazz?"
I thought it had a good center, but the edges were rough

Because a fucking WHITE MAN should not be the SAVIOR of BLACK CULTURE
Are you fucking KIDDING ME?

It's 2017, no one wants to see wh*te men as leads, it's time to end racism and let minorities take a more prominent spot in our films. Why couldn't Emma Stone be in a relationship with an actual black jazzman? Wh*te devils stole the music from the black man, it's not fair.
It wasn't a good musical
It wasn't a good movie
end of discussion
It was The Artist all over again. Boring garbage that got Oscar noms because it bet everything on Hollywood nostalgia.

can you tell me how a black person could sell music without recording it using white technology?
>Why couldn't Emma Stone be in a relationship with an actual black jazzman?
because thats not realistic.
>it's time to end racism and let minorities take a more prominent spot in our films.
How would that end racism? I'd still hate niggers. I'd hate them even more.

it's dishonest filmmaking

La La Land? More like Bla Bla Bland....
Because they didn't commit to being a straight movie or a musical.
Went far, far too long between musical numbers, and yet, whenever a musical number would come on, it just felt like an interruption to the movie I was watching.
And personally, I prefer songs that focus on the music rather than the dancing, but I know some musicals are about the choreography more than putting out bangers. Trouble is, when you do that, you have to make sure your dancers can actually, yeah know, dance.

At least the Artist commit ed
It's trendy these days to complain about movies not starring minorities or being overly politically correct. Just a handful of SJW's and nothing else. As for /tv/, they just have it because it was popular and won awards which triggers their autism.
The ending killed my soul a little bit, elevated the rest of it. solid movie

Haha!
>make a movie complaining how modern jazz is dinner party tier boring nonsense
>the movie itself goes all in on washed down, easy jazz so the plebs don't complain
It was really dishonest film making.
