The ending kills the movie...

Rating: 3/10 (11 August 2018)

Am i a fan of musicals ? not exactly mad about them but i was willing to sit through these two hours of film simply because Emma Stone is my favourite actress and i ran through all 17 of her films and wanted to finish with this as the crowning jewel y'know the one she got an Oscar for... and to be honest the movie was pretty good as it started with the joyous charm and combined charisma of Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone you had it on the money for a great Movie putting show business in a very legitimate light showing the pros and the cons and the sacrifices you make to balance out real life and Celebrity Life the ending was obvious as it is a RomCom in the end it was going to be the Happy Sappy ending that we all know and love and i would have been more than happy with such an ending... but then they messed with it... now i'm all in for philosophical movies or movies with ambiguous endings that keep you thinking and inspire you to approach things differently but that's a secret ingredient that only makes things better however this isnt how this movie handled itself : giving you pancakes for breakfast, Turkey for lunch and a vial of potassium cyanide (Poison) for dinner! so for those that havent watched it and want an ending that is such an infuriating kick to the balls so much so that i threw my popcorn to the floor and left, i felt so insulted which was weird because i never take movies so seriously, anyways the Two people on the poster you know those with the perfect chemistry and amazing wit to back eachother up ? those that would've made for a really good ending together ? she (Emma Stone) goes to paris for five years, gets married and has children then goes back to see him (Ryan Gosling) in his Jazz club with her husband!, he is absolutely devastated plays a sad note on the piano but then... what happens exactly ? i'm not sure, there is this montage with everything that had gone wrong in the movie reversed... he attended her play and her play was loved he married her he had children with her and opened his club in paris instead... her audition is accepted her life is wonderful aaand we suddenly switch back to reality... Ryan Gosling is still the one playing the sad note and she gets up to leave with her husband, both her and him look at eachother eyes filled with tears and then she leaves for good... THE END... i absolutely despise this movie right now... now i would never give it a 1 no that's not fair i give it a 3/10 for the sheer star power and colorful sets which was all ultimately ruined by the horrible horrible ending... people don't get that Romance is never about a brainless tragic ending there was also that other dumb movie called "The Fault in our Stars" the same issue, it gives you hope then ends it with a middle finger as a gesture La La Land's ending was such a depressing downbeat ending i'm so mad at it right now... writers, you had one job... and you blew it...
