I don't understand why critics hated it. In the finale, Chazelle reaffirms that it's all worth it in the end.
He both sucks off and reprimands the "old way." Did people seriously get offended by an elephant shitting into the camera?

Chazelle is film school tier tbh.

It’s more that it had nothing new to say and did nothing interesting with the old ideas.

>Zoomies don't understand that this movie is essentially a remake of "Singin' in the Rain" with jazz, elephant shit, rat-eating and puke instead of musical numbers
>essentially a remake of "Singin' in the Rain"
Polar opposite. The existence of Singin' in the Rain is a joke on all the characters. Their tragedy becomes a gag and a flash in Hollywood's pan for future filmmakers to make musicals about 30 years later, completely ignoring how much actually gets left out on the side road of history. It wasn't about just sound transition either. Manny literally watches Singin' in the Rain in the last scene. What remake?
>dude old Hollywood was the real HOLLYWEIRD AMIRITE?!?!
Revisionism was a mistake
It was too juvenile for most critics with all the poop and barf jokes, but also too prestigious for casual audiences with the 3 hour runtime and Hollywood subject matter.
watch more movies, you literal child
This and it made fun of israelites at a couple of instances, enough for academy critics to ignore it. I don't think it should have necessarily won best picture, but it not winning best score/soundtrack is laughable
Hollywood doesn't like being criticized. Even if its old Hollywood because then people compare it to modern Hollywood which is even worse. Critics don't like Hollywood being criticized because they're parasites who rely on Hollywood
But he criticized the shit they love having criticized: racism and homophobia. He never lays it directly at any specific studio feet or any person. Nobody is fricking alive from back then anyway. And the actual movie-making methods, trends, and tech killing careers he presents as just a natural selection. Empires are falling and being rebuilt anew. Look at how happy the Hispanic is just being a small part of movie history.
I disliked the ending. It's basically saying "Who cares if Hollywood is full of rapists and pedophiles, they make good movies!"
I liked the ending for the same reason.

Interdesting take from someone posting on “boards.death-of-the-author.net/tv/“
I love this movie so much bros it's unreal, it was one of the, if not the best theatre experience I've ever had. homosexuals like will never come close to understanding it
I agree. i've never seen a movie filter critics like this before
it doesn't manage to say anything new in the 3 hour runtime, margot robbie is abysmal once again and the movie montage climax is very cringeworthy, brad pitt's character is also too toned down and underwhelming
>too toned
he must have been working out more than usual
He went full moron, plain and simple.
>h20 just add water
phoebechads
it wasn't bad bad, but it wasn't good either:
>margot and pablo's arc was meh
>margot is a mid actress
>brad pitt's arc, save for the kino beginning (filming of great scenes in a mega production), was weak and its ending felt empty, really out of key, I felt nothing
>black sax player's "story" culminated in a bit that felt like a forced shoehorning of modern hollywood's views, almost zero nuance
>asian lady is super forgettable, her thing went nowhere, I get that she was meant to add to the exoticism factor, but that's not enough to redeem it completely
>that entire sequence with tobey maguire near the end felt like a blatant attempt at trying to copy Zahler's movie signature of "spiraled descent into further chaos and doom", very poorly done, the setpieces on each floor should get worse the further down you go, but it all culminates with a guy eating a live rat? nevermind that people werre fighting to the (near) death on the first floor, the pay off here was nowhere to be found
>the montage near the end was major cringe, never have I cringed so much at a movie, especially when it showed a clip of avatar of all things
there were good aspects though, albeit few:
>pablo's actor was good
>main theme is catchy
>great production/p. value in the first half
1st half is a 7/10, 2nd half is a 3/10, making it a 5/10, maybe a 6 on a good day.
MARGOT ROBBIE'S SWEATY ARMPITS: THE MOTION PICTURE
>margot and pablo's arc was meh
>dumb b***h got herself and several others murdered and Pablo exiled because of his simp energy
It was hilariously dumb, actually.
Should've only kept the kino Brad Pitt scenes and the Margot Robbie ones. One year has passed and I completely forgot about the Black and Asian characters. They could have fit in as background characters in the wider story. Not as characters on their own.
The ending montage was shit. The worst taste I've ever seen exercised in an adult movie.
Garbage movie. An utter waste of time. Childish, derivative, and only functions to show Chazelle's supreme lack of talent.
A movie about everything is ultimately a movie about nothing.
Blonde is a much better movie and more interesting look at old Hollywood and it's decadence and exploitation that still exist today. This movie runs out of steam after the first hour and than tries to be boogie nights in the end, Blonde runs laps around this movie
Blonde is about the exploitation of women, innocence, and God not existing
its cringe
quippy dialogue where people constantly say frick
its just gay
I got 2 hours into this recently. Just hollyweird edging itself over a mythologised version of its past. Just isn't interesting even if it has some nice visuals here and there
you didn't even get to the worst part dude, the last hour is some of the cringiest shit ever put to screen
Prompt?
