But I don't think I'm being nitpicky for asking for one or two more scenes, maybe a dinner scene with his family and girlfriend

:yeshrug:
maybe it'll be on the extended cut or as a deleted scene on the blu to appease you unsatisfied brehs :troll:

I hope he doesn't keep doing the same stuff. He's done two films and both are about modern jazz

must of a great agent because hes only been in solid films since i first saw him in Project X


looks like we got our answer.

Chazelle's next film "La La Land" description:

A jazz pianist falls for an aspiring actress in Los Angeles.


starring.....Miles Teller and Emma Watson

I personally think it's kinda dope if he keeps the jazz/music theme going but doing a different genre each time

Linklater's been making films about nothing for 20 years.

what's wrong with chazelle making a few different genre films based around jazz?

Come on, man. You know better than to say some bullshyt like that.

Anyway, it depends on what kind of movie it's going to be, because there's a danger it's going to be too similar to Whiplash and therefore become redundant.

Funny enough there was the thread the other day about Cabaret which got me thinking about Bob Fosse's career and that's a director who somehow pulled off making movies that fall within the same spectrum while doing completely different things with every single one of them.

I wanted to rustle some jimmies, but there's some truth in it :umad:

i like his films but theyre like 99% dialogue 1% music and 0% plot :umad:

well he did write grand piano so he did the jazz thriller..this was the jazz drama... and i guess next is the jazz rom com :manny:

I won't use spoiler tags because you shouldn't be reading the thread if you haven't seen it.

To me this is one of the best movies of the year. I really wasn't sure of its direction at multiple times, thought Andrew might die in the car crash. The movie made me think and treated the whole picture of Andrew and people like him well. I didn't think it was praising striving for greatness or demonizing those who push too hard so much as just reporting well.

I agree more time with the girlfriend would've been good. We see in the beginning he looks at dudes with girlfriends with envy, and is shy and doesn't have much self confidence. So, for him to have this cute girlfriend is interesting. Parts of the movie suggest that his low social status and desire for women might be why he's so driven for success, but when he gets one of things he's still condescending to her and he doesn't seem to care that much. A couple more scenes with her could've spelled things out more with where his drive to succeed comes from.

We only meet his extended family once at dinner and it had no build-up. At this point there was no indication he dislikes his family since he and his dad get along well and the dinner scene plays out like it should be the 2nd or 3rd time we meet the rest of the family. Just a little dinner scene early with some "Yeah I got into this great music school" with him being kinda dismissed or something because we got no backstory and he explodes on them like he's been waiting his whole life with pent up rage.

I disagree friend. In the movie theater scene in the beginning, he doesn't seem excited to be around his dad, and thinks he's a fukkboy when he doesn't do anything about the guy behind him bumping into him. I got the idea early on that he didn't think highly of his dad (though his dad was nice to him), and that's why he was drawn to Fletcher.

just finished it. thought it was pretty good, but it did fall a bit short of the hype imo. thought it was good, not great. I'm glad the ending kinda brought it all home like it did.

great performances though, especially the kid that played Andrew. I know JK Simmons steals all the scenes but man that kid was so fukkin intense. you could see it in his eyes. Hope he gets recognized.
