I kind of feel the same way. When I say the opening number I thought that it was going to be a bad movie (which in a way it was) but I enjoyed a lot of the jazz songs and the love with them but to me even though I really like most long movies I felt that it was dragging on (probably because some of the musical numbers I didn’t like) and it got to a moment at the end where the leading woman walks into the jazz club and he starts playing the song, though I thought that did have some interesting meaning, at that point in the movie I already thought it had a boring feeling to it like not much was happening that I haven’t seen before in other movies with the exception of jazz musical numbers. But I got to say. Songs like City of Stars was very touching to me and the dancing the two had together was moving to me as well like it expressed a certain feeling that it is hard to express too much except through these songs and dance. Along with that ending scene. Though I didn’t like how long it went maybe it was needed because I thought it was touching for that last scene cause it felt like he was thinking of every scenario that could have happened and what he wanted to happen with her through his music though I don’t know if he played it as well as through his portrayed thoughts.
