La-La Land as a proclamation of incompetence

La-La Land is a very important film. It received so many Oscars, but we have seen weak films awarded before that. It is important as a proclamation of incompetence. This film invaded the musical genre which traditionally belonged to artists who can sing and dance. Falsification of art began a long time ago, for instance in the field of visual arts where a shark carcass or an unkempt bed can be presented as valuable pieces of art. However there were some fields such as classical music and dance which were not touched by corruption. But in the field of musicals fraudulence started with La-La Land – a picture highly praised by the critics and the American Academy alike. And the question will be, are they deaf, dumb, or blind? Or is it a new trend in musicals to expect the public to gobble up a candy-coated piece of shit and applaud feverishly after? Because La-La Land is nothing more than that.

The film is about a young woman who wants to become an actor and a young musician. Ryan Gosling who plays main protagonist is a good actor but this role is not for him; he is extremely clumsy and when he dances around a streetlight it resembles a parody on Gene Kelly in Singing in the Rain. His voice reminds one of a whining mosquito. Concerning Emma Stone, she also cannot sing or dance. At least she is not as clumsy as Ryan. The film’s choreography was made with the imagination of a teacher who is employed at a kindergarten for mentally retarded children. The plot is a collection of trivialities and the camera work is made by a person who does not known anything about composition except for the central position in the frame, which makes this banal film even more boring and trivial than it could be. Only positive aspect is the light feeling of nostalgia is left by the film. For a moment you think of the geniuses of the past; where are you Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Marilyn Monroe? Gone with the wind and all that remains is the Hollywood mafia.
