Correction after ten years: just take away the "La La Hand"

The article discusses the correction of a gesture in the promotional poster of the film 'La La Land' after ten years. The original poster featured Ryan Gosling's left hand in a position that disrupted the flow of the iconic dance scene, leading to criticism. Gosling had expressed frustration over this gesture for years, as it ruined the elegance of the scene. To commemorate the film's tenth anniversary, the studio Lionsgate corrected Gosling's hand position on the new poster, aligning it with Emma Stone's graceful pose. The article draws parallels between this change and historical instances where gestures were altered for political or aesthetic reasons, such as the forced handshake during the founding of the SED party in 1946.
