Rubbish mostly!

Rating: 1/10 (18 April 2017)

My mind is still trying to find the good in this film...but each time I do, I ended up laughing and saying "UGH!!! WHY? WHY?" I just cannot understand why it has won so many awards! The ugly truth is...it's rubbish mostly. Sure, the colour and editing are great but the rest is just BORING and TRYING-HARD. I didn't feel the movie. There's nothing in it that would make me feel so into the characters nor the story. The climax is missing and thus, nothing to look forward to in the ending. And in between scenes, they would painstakingly insert singing and dancing that don't go very well with the scenario. The music is unpleasant to the ears, no recall at all! The opening number is awful, who wrote that? What kind of music is that. Haha! Oh my! Emma Stone's acting is the worst! Her facial expressions were awful, you can tell she is just "acting" as opposed to being drawn to the character because it feels real. Hers is fake acting. No emotions, no heart.
If I'm given the chance to interview Ryan Gosling, I would ask, "what made him accept this role?, Which story has more value, The Notebook or La La Land?"
The story is just as awful as the acting. The plot's boring. I cannot tell where the climax is. Transition is rough. Dance movements - been there, done that!
If you have watched Moulin Rouge, The Sound of Music, Singin in the Rain, Grease, Chicago and the likes, you would agree how terrible La La Land is.
I begin to wonder.. to those people who find this the best film they've watched... Were they just been born yesterday?
Damien Chazelle is a lucky newbie director, the award giving bodies surprisingly liked it, however, awful it really is.
