This movie is more terrifying than Evil Dead or any other horror movie to me, I wished I didn't watch it.

Aliens? Boy, the border crossed mexicans, not the other way around. Give a look to history before you make a fool out of yourself.

Wasn't the 1920's filled with all kinds of crazy stuff though?

I was with you right up until you made the claim that there weren't really any female directors working in Hollywood at the time. What about Lois Weber? Or Dorothy Arzner? Or Dorothy Davenport who famously also employed female writers? I totally agree with your argument. I was seeing it even before I clicked on your video. It could also easily be applied to the current state of the publishing industry. In any case, little white bursts of light exploded behind my eyes when you failed to mention the female directors in Hollywood (some of whom even owned their own studies) so I have to click out. I subbed, though.

I dont think it is misunderstood. It is more like people just did not like it. It was well made, had an A list cast, but the setting and the inside Hollywood stuff was a hard sell. The 1920's is probably the least interesting decade in the 20th century in America. The two combined just made it a not see.

Tons of symbolism for old and current hollywood with elite 'secret' parties that are really f* up. It's just missing minors in the film. Convenient how all eyes wide shut are show in cinemas again this year. Ngl messed up people have no shame and they will show loads but know fully well considering higher powers have control of the media...they can get away with showing debauchery but the public are too dumb and brainwashed to notice.

Yes, it is about the death of cinema NOW.

Good anime 10/10

One of the best movies ever made

I'm watching the movie again and had to pause it to find a video with added music, and here I am. The scene is so awkward without music... Though I would have chosen a less military-sounding and more hopeful soundtrack since it is the big fight. Also, the music could start as soon as Ripley is revealed, to fix the awkward walk towards the camera.

My God you lack knowledge of 1920’s Hollywood. For starters there were various famous female directors in the silent era, Dorothy Azner, Mabel Normand, Lois Webber, Germaine Dulac to name a few. Manny says his family crossed the border not because of his legal migratory status but because by the time his family crossed it passports weren’t a thing which is also why there were so many European immigrants coming into America. Yes, the 1920s was full of scandals and debauchery specially around Calneva. Cocaine was rampant even Chaplin alluded to it in his silent film Modern Times. There were many scandals at the time William Desmond Taylor’s assassination, Fatty Arbuckle’s rape and manslaughter accusation, Mary Pickford’s and Douglas Fairbanks extra marital affairs, Chaplin’s penchant for underage girls, Olive Thomas’ overdose, Wallace Reid’s morphine addiction etc… you totally missed the point of the film. You need to learn more about Hollywood’s history

I like the film more now.

I agree but I have one issue, the roaring twenties among the elite were always debauched. They always have been, wealth is like salt water and it creates an increase in hedonism among the elite. Dopamine desensitization, sexual depravity, continually chasing highs, be it through drugs or other means. I also think the movie was also a metaphor for life and the morality of 'Nobles" and elite individuals. Public image is what is important, they will act sanctimonious and judge people in the working class but be just as depraved as criminals, and honestly more so, due the power and wealth they have to act on these impulses. But at least criminals do their own dirty work. It honestly speaks to how the modern era works, wheeling and dealing, putting on fake smiles and saying empty platitudes to gain standing with people you do not like just so you can pursue your dreams.

dang young'n. making me feel old. 😂 this has definitely been on my Favorite Movies Ever list ever since i first saw it. i first saw it a month before its official release date, in San Francisco, at the Castro Theatre, with PTA in attendance; i actually ran into him upstairs in the theatre, i could have shook his hand, but decided not to bother him. i saw the movie probably 5 more times in the theatre that year, taking everyone who would listen to the theatre with me. absolute masterpiece!

people who work in his studio said it was a nightmare to work on Dunkirk. they had a issues

Zimmer has cemented himself, as John Williams did before. As did Copland, Tchaikovsky, Lizt, Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, and Vivaldi. I’m very excited to see what Göransson brings to the table, and he’s off to a great start.

Absolutely masterpiece very melancholic poetic Great cinematography Great acting Great score Mind-blowing cinema

Mexicans are Americans

You missed the scene when he has a big nose on and talking about “running Hollywood”

This is awesome

For best experience, watch in 4K in a dark room.

Love it. Never let Peaks die

I agree overall but some of your points were just misinformed

Hopefully not, just a hiatus

They have already gave many great creations

I think Babylon asks the same question as every other film he’s made “what would you sacrifice to reach your dreams?” Whiplash it was self preservation, as his obsession grew to the point of borderline self destruction. Lala land was about the people you love, and if you would trade your life with them for a life where you get what you’re most passionate about, and Babylon was would you give your humanity/morality? Even manny, who was arguably the most decent of the three protagonists, sacrificed his humanity for the sake of his dream, specifically with the charcoal scene. Personally I felt Babylon was classic chazelle, maybe I wasn’t as in love with it as the other two, and idk if I’ll really get used to the total depravity but it crafted a very beautiful bittersweet ending like the others, and stuck with me for days after I first watched it

the woman in trouble, the people who loved her

Hmmm..I'll agree with you that Babylon's depiction of 1920s Hollywood as an orgy of through-the-roof hedonism ruled by perverse, fetishistic, drug-addled and debauched impulses seemed, well, anachronistic, but the question is, if you're correct and the film is really about contemporary Hollywood in the 2020s, why didn't Chazelle just make a film about contemporary Hollywood? (It certainly would have been cheaper and easier.) Why pack a narrative about 1920s Hollywood with misdated notions of hedonistic excess? On that score, had Chazelle made a film about, say, 70s Hollywood - a true golden age of both great films and genuine Hollywood hedonism where cocaine was king - I would have found it more historically plausible.

movies I enjoy that get bad reviews ,time and time again .I learned to go see movies critics hated and find that the movie rocks.

There were female directors in Hollywood at that time directing films at that scale though…where did you do your research?

I'd love to see zimmer again but oppenheimer's score is at the same level as anything zimmer did with nolan

Does this mean that Margot Robbie will die when she turns 34 next year like in the movie????

It really was a great show. Don't you agree, Zack?

The show that also taught creators not to give away the climax too soon

100% agreed! Now you got me wanting to watch season 1 again.

I personally think this reading is correct though only by proxy. I think the movie is about perversion. Quite literally, not as in kinks, but as in the perversion industry does to -Identity, beliefs and dreams. The key components of film making. And specifically that because of the nature of our socioeconomic structure film WILL NOT change. We are doomed to smile at the beautiful cinema being made for us through tears at what it costs. And we will never escape it. Even when we (like manny) know the truth intimately. I found it to be a tragedy on such a massive scale that I’ve kind of never been the same since watching it.

A pretentious, big budget, self-indulgent student film with nothing to say.

I don’t have strong proofs here, but I bon’t see any reason for 20s hollywood not to include the drugs and orgies. Otherwise, is Gatsby also not realistic in that sense?

all us kino-connoisseurs had these portable dvd-players back in the day 😂

Seriously dude, you didn’t touch on the occult and debauchery? Clearly there are many rumors about satanism/black magic rituals in the darkest parts of Hollywood deep behind the scenes. This is the peak of the dark side that the movie depicts

This is beauutiful

I've seen all 3 trailers for Oppenheimer and Ludwig is DEFINITELY doing his thing. I can't wait for Oppenheimer 👊🏿

Aesthetic is not symbolism.

Literally this is how I interpreted it. Bc why do they all have modern day accents? Lol and the woman director, and then the clear lgbt representation/ I mean come on, they weren't THAT open minded in the party era 🫣😂

Mark my words it will become a cult classic in the future
