Hi everyone! What grade (out of 10) would you give this video?
11
10
12 men :=")!
I can't hear them speak so 'Zero'
100
*The saddest thing about this film* was how these silent movie actors must’ve felt with the introduction of sound and realising the audience liked them better when they were seen and not heard. Amazing movie.
The way he goes upstairs and enters to his room to end his own life is like he's putting one more silent performance.
This is one of the reasons why I like a visually narrated movie that only has speaking when whatever is happening isn't obvious to see
wait until you watch singing in the rain
Just like in the song: video killed a radio star. What you see is different from what you imagine.
In a strange way, social media exposed a lot of celebrities real personality's. So once again, they were like better when they were seen not heard. Strange parallel.
the delivery on "Im tired, Fay" kills me everytime. Underrated Movie.
This movie is absolutely horrible
@@MUDLOVER267nope you are
right on!
@@MUDLOVER267 --No, it's kind of a horror movie though. Pretty true to life portrayal of Hollywood and how it deifies and then devours people.
I feel like brad everyday in this scene.
The way he looked up with that touched surprise when the guy reminded him he was the one who'd paid him his highest tip before he asked was such a nice touch. Like one last reminder that he'd mattered, and done what he could when he could.
And that pleasant little reminder; is what Jack bows out on. His last human connection, is a short, pleasant exchange with that Bellhop.
I bet the guy will never forget this night.
Great point! It adds a lot to the scene now that I see it
Like all actors times up more than others , shelf life ?
Jack: "What's the biggest tip you ever received?"
Bellhop: "$50"
Jack: "And who gave you that?"
Bellhop: "You did."
This wasn't the first time Jack walked upstairs with the intention to end it all. But it was the last.
So if his character is so irrelevant now, what about the rest of us? Am I supposed to feel bad for this rich movie star guy? 99.99% of people aren't gonna be "past it", because they were never "it", anyways.
"I had a good run didn't I?" crushes me every single time
It’s interesting how you can feel how before we realize he has a gun, these is still a sense of eerie incomparable dread. Like we as an audience know what’s about to happen as he tells Fae he’s tired. Yet still so heartbreaking when he walks past the door with the gun
Never saw the movie, never even heard of it but as soon as he said I’m tired and started reminiscing about him being behind what he considered the joyful part of his then started saying goodbye and over tipping, I felt it was pretty obvious what was coming.
Yeah and the white towel and bath tub i knew soon it would have been stained with red.
You could see it when the life drained from his face. Also when he gave bellhop his bank roll...I mean that spelled it out.
yes
No matter what role Brad Pitt plays, he gives it his all. One of the best actors ever, I can't believe he's only won 1 Oscar
And I can't believe he's won an Oscar. He always plays the same guy.
@@gazzoob6953fym lmao
@@johncash5940 I actually really liked him the most in 'Kalifornia' with Duchovny and Lewis. That's the only time when I didn't have the feeling that I'm watching Brad Pitt.
@@gazzoob6953 theres a truth in this I never really thought of. Though some nice moviechoices hes made in his career, therefore it kind of mask hes more or less one dimensional acting.
@@gazzoob6953yeah not like Katahrine Hepburn who won 4 Oscars by playing basically the same character 👍
The way Brad fidgets with his hands at 2:00 is telling. It's the kind of thing someone who is lost would do, common among the elderly as well.
Restlessness, not happy with ones self
I love that you caught that. So subtle yet so deep
@@vonhumboldt1985oh yeah sooo deep 😂😂😂😂
@@vonhumboldt1985of course I mean it 😂
This fellow is a shitty actor so overrated just because of the good looks and marketing. He’s 5ft9 but uses lifts Botox hair implants fake teeth etc
He has nothing to say in interviews. Where’s the charisma? Nothing. He can’t show any depth because he has none.
Read some classic literature or some Schopenhauer if you want to see some substance 😂
My Grandpa does this at 92
Even though there were provocative scenes and the great ending in the movie, for me this scene was the most memorable scene
And the previous dialogue with the journalist.
@@sadaomuraki3143For me it was the ending combined with these scenes, plus the beginning coke talk with Nellie.
There director Chazelle, through Manny's mouth explains his passion for cinema and how he wanted to become a part of something bigger! In the end we see the future of cinema and cinema connects people one to another through empathy, Manny (director) realizes he is not alone and that his work was WORTH it. That's why his melancholic tears turn into a smile in awe. He sees the transition he literally experienced in the industry inside an another era film he watches.
And then the montage and the film Babylon begins to celebrate art and life and cinema itself! Through art, Manny becomes immortal embedded in celluloid film. So is Chazelle and his crew and actors of the film!
Very meta! This movie reminded how much i love cinema and the reason of it! (Im a filmmaker too.)
this and Nellie’s final scene that is so dreadful as well. when he leaves you have this feeling that she’s going to leave him and when she gets out of the car to do so it felt horrible because he was holding onto so much hope for a relationship that i don’t think either of them could handle. i think her leaving him was a very mature decision because she knew she wasn’t good for him. but what gets me is that final shot of her physically and metaphorically dancing into the dark and away from the spotlight. such a powerful scene
cause just like that era our time is over... something else is birthing
i hated the ending. really shoved tue whole theme of the movie down our throats as if we hadnt been paying attention for the last 3 hours… “get it guys? its a movie about MOVIES”
There are few worse feelings than being left behind by a thing you helped create.
I’m not sure about that, I think I would love to see something I helped create grow beyond me and take off on its own. But I guess it also depends on whether or not you’re prepared to let go at that point… and if you have something else to hold on to, to create meaning in your life
Imagine parents when they are forgotten by their children
Imagine that very thing coming back to enslave and kill you….
That's literally having kids you dummy
@@darrensmith6504 yea, that never gets old….
"The future is yours"... Great acting in an outstanding movie
There was this *GREAT* series of micro-expression Brad does after she says "you ok sweetie?" Almost like he was ticking off realizations. He knew and *WE KNEW IT*. That without the movies, he had nothing and it was happening in the moment. What a great take. Broke me in the first viewing. I had no doubt what he would do next. All from micro-expressions.
Exactly same knew he was going to end his life
"I don't know why this film only found success at the box office in France.
This film is so beautiful and melancholic.
A masterpiece.
Perhaps it's because cinema was invented by the French 'Lumière brothers'."
Maybe it's because love and melancholy are more felt there❤
it’s possible it’s because of this film’s 1920s aesthetic which was influenced by Parisian high society. Perhaps there is some sort of familiarity with the visuals that french audiences are drawn to.
kinda reminds me of the tone in Casino. they are on top of the world in the beginning and its just devolves into a sad mess in the end.
really because it's hard for us to see movies nowadays. Kind of caught between mediums now. Redbox is gone, Netflix is out of the studio bizness, too expensive to try to pay for everything as we also cut cords. Most of us don't pay Yootoobe etc. I haven't seen a new movie since 'Once Upon a Time....' which aside from QTs trademark history revisionism, sounds similar to this one. I'll catch this somehow tho. Someday.
maybe because we like it when a film offers more than just action. this film is a masterpiece and it had the success it deserves here 🇫🇷
Man….the expression on his face, the tiredness and despair. Really an amazing actor. I don’t even know this movie, so I have no context for what’s going on.
But as someone whose lived his entire life with major depression, that expression kills me. There’s so much damned hurt in it when she asks if he’s ok. Like you can see him trying to decide if it’s even worth responding.
The context is really depressing when you know it. He was a popular actor in the silent era of film and made a huge impact on the genre but with the introduction of sound he got left in the past. In the end, he was abandoned by the industry and audiences which ultimately led to the hopelessness in this scene. A pioneer of his craft ending up being forgotten. Truly tragic.
@@muhammaddost6089 I’ll have to check this out. It’s out of my usual wheelhouse but man that performance got me.
That is an interesting topic. I imagine it’s a story that has had many iterations when you think about it. Radio to TV. Silent films to talkies. Movie industry to UA-cam, etc….probably a lot of sad stories throughout the transition.
But why would he think this is over, many entertainers have changed with the times to be remembered forever. It must have been too much for him to bare, and he couldn’t see a future with him in it. He also looks his heart was broken. Sad scene.
@@muhammaddost6089 I've read and heard many sad stories of early pioneers of Hip Hop, Punk, Metal, Folk and of course Jazz who watched a genre they helped innovate blow up but died in obscurity and abject poverty before they could benefit (monetarily) from it. This is the story of life, though.
@@mikekolb3912i mean there’s a scene when he went to see a film with him in it and the audience made fun of him. Which signed his death card and you’re right. His contribution to cinema will always be remembered as also said in the film. It’s sad overall that this happens to actors today like Jenna Ortega or Miley Cyrus😢😢
Babylon. What a perfect title. That's what it was, a world of uncaged debauchery and opulence. It was never gonna last, and it shouldn't have. Eventually everyone has to leave the party and go back to reality. But that's what makes the party special. This film was messy, too long, and more than a little self indulgent, but my god was every frame made with love and passion for the art. It transported you to another time, and threw you into the ring with complete abandon and never apologized for trying to exhaust you just as much as the characters. This is the definition of not a film for everyone, but it is a film for me. I appreciate it more every time I see it, and for all its flaws, its stuck with me through this last year more than most other "better" films.
This film was a "beautiful mess", and the "mess" part- inconsistent tones (from dark comedy to meta-parody to serious melodrama to realism to meta-parody again!), underdeveloped characters, unnecessarily long tangents- could have been cleaned up! If this was deliberate, ok, fine! But it could have been a masterpiece.
This was beautifully put. I love your perception on film. Wonderful analysis!
@@calebbreeze6142 aww thanks! If nothing else, this is a film that has stuck with me ever since I saw it, and for all its flaws (of which there are plenty), I absolutely love it.
Yessss
Adore this movie
Brad Pitt’s performance, the music, lighting combined = perfection.
Name of the music ?
@@叮叮譯站gold coast rhythm-jack’s party
@@叮叮譯站next time use shazam
Having grown up with Brad Pitt being the young hot lead in movies, it’s strange to see him in a role where he becomes an old, tired has-been.
He's very dashing still!
@@PhilosophyLines Absolutely, and I believe he will be until way into his old age. Brad Pitt is still incredibly successful, but it’s just that it hits you to see him in a role like this. One of his first movies I saw was Se7en, where he gets a comment like “is this kid even 30?”, it hits me a bit that we’re getting older too.
He’s the Paul Newman of this era.
I feel that way about George Clooney. He seems to be aging more gracefully than Pitt@@kellyharper8072
Never that. He’ll age like fine wine ❤
in this scene he reminded me of Arthur Morgan when he said "I'm afraid", but here Brad says "I'm tired"
I think the story of Brad Pitt shouldn't be about his acting but rather the types of roles he took on and the impact that his characters leave on the audience, they just always hit somehow
My favorite actor of all time.
If anyone thinks the same way about Brad Pitt as his character in Babylon, they lost the plot. He's one of the finest actors ever. How many movies do you see Brad Pitt instead of the character?
Totally. I feel like Brad has always been a very good actor and worked hard for it but at the start he was not taken seriously since he was seen by the industry as the heartrob.
So he took a risky path and played roles of deep and complex characters in order to be taken seriously. His beauty is a luck but it was also a curse.
Eventually it ended well. Now he is an a-list actor. One of the best. I admire his braveness and work ethic. He proved he is more than the media portrayed of him.
Kind of like Westray in The Counselor. Loved that character.
. etc well said- lv this film cnt li- cörex2-
I’m so glad to see people realizing how great of a movie this is. Since my first time watching it, it’s been a personal favorite of mine.
Of all the amazing characters Brad Pitt has played, this one is my favorite.
I pretty much knew as soon as he said "see you in Venice, see you in Prague", what was coming next, but it was still shocking when it happened. It was so matter of fact. No drama, no overarching commentary, no ceremony, just: party's over, time to go, lights out.
Like really noone would talk about the background music and his subtle dance? After the conversation, he goes up the stairs as if he is tipping, but for me, it actually is the last dance of his career as well as his life. One of the most nostalgic and delicate scenes.
It’s a wonderful breakdown here that Pitt and Chazelle show us as we see our golden boy protagonist slowly realize that’s his time in the industry, that’s really given him everything in life he’s enjoyed, has finally eclipsed him and he’s never getting it back. We see Pitts expression here gradually change from content to nostalgia to realization and melancholy and then finally ACCEPTANCE. When he decides this world has nothing left for him he checks out on his own terms. What’s likely sadder is just how many Hollywood stars suffered a similar fate.
at 3:25 those "ceilings lights" and the hallway seem so precious when you realize you'll only see these things for the last time.. it's these tiniest things which will seem the most beautiful in the end when you're about to leave it all behind..
This scene is beyond tragic
@aaronsanders6162he lost the one thing he had ever a passion for. He lost his will to live
this is an excellent portrayal of depression the way hi sits ankwardly and sits again you can see the sickness in his body while going through a rough episode. the quite desperation in his eyes i think brad Pitt might be going through something is just too perfect how he acts out a depressed character
I wondered if it was the loss of his children that caused that sadness in him. He always wanted children and to end up losing them to Angelina must be devastating.
His career is one for the history books on how to completely turn your life around and become something more. Started off as the “Pretty Boy” then changed method of acting and now is up there with the greats.
This movie holds his best performance and I’m grateful to see him here honoring his years to cinema.
The LaLa land score subtly playing on the piano is a nice touch
It is "Someone in the Crowd", a song about one day making it big in Hollywood. Painfully ironic given the plot and character arc.
Brad Pitt carried Babylon. Such a wonderful actor
I think Diego carried it but Brad and Margot were also awesome
Nobody carried the film. It is a director's film...
na everybody did their thing all around just a masterpiece
It's when he asks the waitstaff "what's the best tip you've ever received," when you subconsciously know what's going to happen but deny it until it happens. I love those little portends, in short lines that on the surface are simply shallow words meant to grasp at something. When they're actually surreptitiously valediction without anyone realizing it. The best goodbyes are the one's we realize when the moment has passed.
there are no words to describe how much I fell in love with this movie
An accurate depiction of how everything looks fine before its not. She knew when she left him that it would be the last time she saw him. so sad.
This scene was well crafted, it was not only limited to the character, it took us all in sync with it made us do a deep dive inside.
for me, it was about my own look on life, and the problems i have with it, now that i am getting 50. the rearview mirror is getting bigger and bigger. all the good things seemed to have happend in the past. what good should come with 60 or 70. what i know is that i wanna go on my own terms. like he did. sorry maybe a little too deep;)))
@@breakshot7451Don’t kill yourself bro. You still got many golden years ahead of you
I used to work for a highly overrated in-home sales company that paid me stupid money. Truth is it left me hollow and alone. Every time I went to some swanky place my nights almost always ended like this. “Almost” should be obvious... It crossed my mind tho. Having everything and nothing. So much happier I don’t work there anymore. Great performance.
@rocketdock11 hes saying "money can't buy happiness", and what hes relating to is literally the opposite of whats happening in this scene. its not that he couldnt find happiness, its his realization that his happy days were behind him. he kills himself because hes washed up and jaded, emotionally and professionally disconnected and empty with nothing ahead of him but mediocrity, just going through the motions while fading into obscurity
people are interesting human beings. when we lack money it's the most important thing. When we have it - it's not important anymore.
@@_REDMOND hit the nail on the head.
It really surprises me that this movie rated so low on rotten tomatoes, this is so good.
It’s only because it’s abstract and the rotten tomatoes people like straight forward movies their undeveloped brains can understand
yeah cuz theres no explosions or quippy dialogue. I suspect if brad pitt had uttered a bazinga here and there this movie would recieve critical acclaim.
@@benpieratt8667this movie is not that complicated, relax.
@@thereviewracoon it's a film about cinema made by people who love cinema, that's reason enough, isn't it?
@@thereviewracoon oh ok, well yes I encourage you to see it !
The way he says I’m tired Fay reminds me of Arthur Morgan saying he’s afraid
Foe me the saddest thing of this scene is ths moment the woman stops ome secomd and looks at him; i havent seen the movie and dont know who she is but clearly she was a friend or someone close to him, and in that moment she turns to look cause she knows he is not fine( even asked him if he was ok), but then she chooses to not do anything, to just walk away. Thats the saddest part of all as it is always a key moment. Most of us have done that at least once, or many times: turn away, decide to not care, to be selfish or let our fear of involvment, of suffering, prevail (or even the fear of failing in helping). And most of us also felt in his shoes, being left alone in a very hard time of our life.
It would take a little after all to make a step, and we would also feel so much better doing it: but we dont, and thats the real problem of society, of people, that indifference, lack of solidarity, or fear, all causing so much unnecessary suffering. But yet, although not always, it still goes on and on..
Nothing worse then trying to talk to someone who couldn’t care less
ye she should've stayed with him longer...
Yup. That's human nature.
Amazing scene and great acting. Sad to see that Pitt's character tried to open up to Fae hoping for conforting but sadly all he got was 'i've got to run sweetie'. Very surface relationships.
Her knowledge about human nature and her loyalty to her closest colleages is amazing. She and the trompetists are the only cats that jumped out of the infierno and fell on foot.
It's a very similar performance as his Oscar winning role in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, but I felt this performance was so much deeper, thoughtful, layered and introspective. This is his Oscar winning performance as far as I'm concerned
He's had waaaay better roles than Once. I think they gave him that Oscar as 'We should've given you one so much sooner' type of thing. Well deserved, like Leo, but it came way later than it should've.
One of the best characters hes ever played, so much emotion
“It was the most magical place isn’t it”
“Another romance, another break-up..”
“I’ve been the luckiest bastard in the world”
“I had a good run didn’t I?”
I adore these moments so much, it’s like Manny’s flashing back to his past. From the peak of his career, many marriages, many divorced until the downfall that nobody sees him as a top-notch star anymore, happily seeing everyone frantically runaway from that rattlesnake as it was real and honest reaction of human, not just fabricated words that he experienced in his whole life. He did enjoy this run. But tragically, he can’t take it anymore…..
.
Shame that this movie didn’t deserved so much applause. You did things perfect as the same Damian Chazelle.
This was such an underrated and Under-appreciated performance he gave here. The man always has given it his all in literally everything he’s been in and he knows how to pick interesting roles and projects to work on. I hope this movie gains the appreciation it deserves as time goes on
I watched this movie for the first time yesterday, and I gotta say it exceed my expectations. For all the crazy over the top stuff it does have, the movie has just as much heart and emotion.👏
Brad Pitt, Di Caprio, De Niro, Joe Pesci, Denzel Washington, Robert Downey....actors that will always get me to go to the cinema no matter how many Oscars they win. Greatest actors of my time for sure
Damn friend we seem to have pretty much the exact same taste in actors. I agree with everyone you mentioned.🤝
But tbh I wouldn't run to the cinema for EVERYTHING they put out lol. I will however eventually watch most of them at some point.😅
The music really makes this scene... the chracters themes are fanttic.
Do you know the name of the music?
Name of the music ?
I feel like a lot of people misunderstood this film, it was such a great film fr
I don’t know why no matter when or where I always cry every time i watch this scene
I didnt even watch the film yet, but the saddest scene by far on brad pitt's career is tristans crying for his brother
Or when Isabel 2 was shot.
i was going to say this
Then watch the movie and come back again. This scene is far sadder than t he one you described.
This movie is so haunting. The final act has stuck with me like few movies have.
Wow, the light returning to his eyes right before he says "I had a good run didn't I?" Is him trying to convince his already made up mind to not take his life, such incredible detail.
not only is this an incredible scene for the story, but it reflects upon the actor's own life too
And everyone's life. The feeling of getting old.
This scene gave me a little pain and I cried a lot about things that happen in real life but I liked it a lot. ❤❤❤❤
Brilliant scene. Very well written and beautifully acted. Both measured and incredibly powerful.
This is scene is tragic yet somehow comforting and charming. Comforting in the fact he had already made up his mind and decided to go on his own terms, and not be left dead in the water by the people who helped him grow in the past distant days . Those very last moments he felt like himself again, even if it was for a brief, microscopic instant. Better off dead than being a walking corpse, a shell of himself, creatively drained, a rotting soul.
So uhh, how are normal people supposed to feel about their work? 95% of us don't "move up", not really. We're just cogs and then we retire and are immediatly forgotten. I see it all the time. IDK it just feels like movies have to add so much weight to stuff that people easily trivialize and healthily compartmentalize and live with
@@hansolo631 Is the inability to dedicate your all to pursue something you find deeply meaningful truly a trivial issue or rather something that people trivialize as a coping mechanism? I feel like the average person has to cope with giving up on their dreams at a certain point in their life not necessarily because it is the 'correct' thing to do, but because it is the only way to preserve their sanity. Also, I think part of the reason why there are so many movies based around an obsessive pursuit of passion(almost all of Chazelle's movies share this quality) is because they're written by people who have overcome all odds to achieve their own dreams and so they deeply relate to that feeling.
Life is worth living. Jesus.
I totally get what you’re saying but in a way. He could’ve worked with the times like many actors today. It was probably something of their time or sticking with the gimmick and inevitably accepting defeat that you’re old and everything you contribute is among the dust of time. But there’s always a speck someone catches and inspires them to further that style😢
The lady playing Anna Mae Wong (Fae) did an excellent job and should have had a more developed role.
Agreed. Her character is more interesting in this scene (haven't seen the movie).
"...an excellent job and should have had a more developed role." That pretty much sums of the fate of the real Anna Mae Wong's life and career in Hollywood.
The music sets the tone of the scene so well.
This movie was so underrated
2:40 I know that actor playing the bell hop, really cool and talented, glad to see them shine in a movie even so briefly.
The tone this movie was promoted as, and it's run time really did it no favors. I think it's very good- not Chazzelle's best, but several *great* performances, and absolutely beautifully shot. A really great idea, time and place to explore- especially for movie and theater lovers. Just take out a bit of the excess and if there were no trailers I think masses of more people would've seen it and enjoyed it
This film was a "beautiful mess", and the "mess" part- inconsistent tones (from dark comedy to meta-parody to serious melodrama to realism to meta-parody again!), underdeveloped characters (Lady Fay, Sydney), unnecessarily long tangents- could have been cleaned up! If this was deliberate, ok, fine! But it could have been a masterpiece.
@@juniorjames7076 You gonna copy-paste the same bullshit everywhere?
This film got unfairly maligned when it came out. Avatar 2 didn’t bomb, so the internet savaged an obvious prestige picture because it didn’t make $50 million opening weekend. I’m optimistic that in ten years or so, audiences will appreciate it for the work of art it is.
Just like the big lebowski, that's now a cult movie without any award or oscar nominee
This scene really shows off brads acting skills. Pretty amazing
Are we not gonna talk about the music! What sadness it holds, besides Brad's eyes...
Old fashioned and kid at heart. Let this man enjoy his Babylon in peace.
The way he treated the waiter was the real telling part. To be remembered by the common man
Beautifully executed one long take scene. I liked this movie in general, even though I know people who didn't, they just didn't get it i guess.. It's about life, about youth, about being ambitious, active and relevant, and getting old and getting forgotten.. Taking life too seriously.. Being an artist everybody talks about , being recognized and ego tripping until the time comes when nobody cares about you anymore, there are younger, better prepared generation taking your place.. many many creative people get in to this state at some point in their lives.. Or probably nearly everyone will get there eventually, getting old it is called.
Saddest is what's in the boxxx
Booooo
That one is more shocking than sad; this one is depressingly sad because anyone can relate to what Jack was going through.
he had a few from Legends of The Fall that were more sad and tragic than either of these.
Another great movie with Brad Pitt is Assasination of Jesse James, where he also plays a jaded celebrity. It presages his performance here. I think Pitt is so good at that type of character because it reflects his real self-doubt.
I didn’t think it was gonna be, but Babylon was darn good movie.
The music is amazing
Babylon is a great movie. I never understand why the critics don't like it.
B.P. is an eloquent actor. Never a false note. Not many like him in his generation.
Feels like talking directly to us
Brad knew that... life is emptiness and beautiful.. clean, strong, sad end..
😢😢😓10/10 मैंने ऐसा अंत सोचा भी नहीं था
Just watched this and once upon a time a time in Hollywood back to back, felt like watching LA instead of just going outside and going a few miles away
Pitt was wonderfully heartbreaking. Didnt know this movie was largely based on Clara Bow until afterwards
The “saddest scenes of Brad Pitt’s career” are studded throughout The Assassination of Jesse James, one of the greatest Westerns ever made, right up there with Unforgiven.
Imagine being so down that it seems like you decide to spontaneously end it right then and there. But that's not how depression works. It had been building for a long time, as it does, and when he says, "I'm tired", he's finally reached his breaking point.
damn man that scene is not only great becayse of how its filmed but there are messages there too. What would have happened if Faye stayed?
This scene and what follows this scene summed up this movie. You don't always reap the benefits of what you created, sometimes you are humbled and it feels like there is nothing more to keep going on.
Brad is fortunate to live in a day and age where there are more options for older actors than there were for Actors during the Silent and Golden Age of Hollywood. I don't understand why he didn't just go to the Stage and give it a try? With all of the fuss he made earlier in the film about it I figured it would have been the next logical step for him. I understand what Damian was trying to say with this scene, but there were so many other options for him. Besides I'm sure with a few years left before the War he could have also gone to Europe like many stars did?
Pitt's character in the movie is a terrible actor who could get by on looks in silent films. The first time Pitt's character delivered dialogue in a with-sound film he was laughed at by the audience.
My interpretation of what Chazelle is saying is this: Jack Conrad believes in the art form of film so incredibly much that he is okay in dying with it. You see this from Jack on how he describes his life to his ex-wife who was huge on Broadway. He talks about that despite film being a poor art: it absolutely means something and is worth much more than rich people sitting in a theatre congratulating those in opulence. That he has to support and be convincing to millions of people than merely thousands. That he is a champion of sound and the constant progression of cinema. The talk with the journalist really set that for him, because he wasn't bad per se. He still had the movements, it was just the timing and pronunciation of his delivery. However, Jack knew he didn't have it in him to pursue the "high art of theatre" because it goes against what he truly believes in as an actor who champions cinema. But his friends are slowly disappearing, the Hays Code is imminent, the movie going audience already sees him as a joke in sound, and he's now being questioned by journalists if its even worth keeping around now. Jack now sees himself trapped in the house and this last conversation with Faye, who is escaping to Europe because of the Hays Code and her sexuality, see each other off. Jack accepts his fate, but at least he knows that when his films are released from the vault, he wakes up with the other angels and ghosts and put on a hell of a film.
He so deserved an Oscar for this.
I cried all night and day
Yes This Is The Very sad Moment for Brad Pitt.
His acting was Superb in this Film ❤
I really feel sad for him, man. Conrad was a goodman, life was not fair for him.
Haven't seen the movie - what a powerful scene! It's great to be tired after having a good run. But being tired after a bad run, or even worse, no run, that shit hurts the most (this works both literally and metaphorically, being both a runner and melancholist☺)
Me and my wife watched this three times when it came out . Brad is overrated for his beauty.. and underrated for his acting I believe.. I've always loved how he has presented himself in movies since the late 80s he's always played a good role.❤
Man I've never cried more 😢
Brad Pitt is a character actor caught in a leading man's body
Fun fact: the green apartment at the end of this scene belonged to Tim Burton when he was an art student attending CalArts at the beginning of his career.
The building this was shot at is Castle Green in the historic Old Town district of Pasadena. It’s been used in dozens of famous movies and projects and is one of the oldest in Los Angeles.
Source: I lived at the end of the hall of this building for 8 years.
I've read and heard many sad stories of early pioneers of Hip Hop, Punk, Metal, Folk and of course Jazz who watched a genre they helped innovate blow up but died in obscurity and abject poverty before they could benefit (monetarily) from it.
He should have gotten an Oscar for this one. God damn this character was almost too good and too real. He's scary good. I love me some brad pitt
What sad is that he wasn’t depressed or suicidal he was just done he had everything and there was nothing else he wanted it was over his story was over and when your story ends like this there are only two way out in a blaze of glory or quiet as the night sky
He didn't want to grow old in obscurity as the show went on without him.
@@leviathanmg exactly
You are not right. He was suicidal. That's why he... wait for it... committed suicide!
He had more options. One of them, the optimal, was to adapt and overcome. But he was unwilling to do that. Maybe his reward system was broken, for once you get so much as he was getting during his heyday, just for giving others the privilege of his presence, a more normal existence was depressing to him.
@@TheAxon8888This is absolutely correct.
lil bro had enough 💀💀
When you help build something from the ground up and are the reason others come into that arena, you should experience such joy that you are what they grow beyond. That is Legacy. If children move on from their beginnings and become independent adults then you did it right.
I like to think that if the bell boy was a huge fan and said how much his films inspired him. That the only reason films survived was because of his work and he’ll never be forgotten. He would have thought “ It’s gonna be alright “.
Just imagine talking to someone and saying you have to leave and later finding out they killed themselves minutes after you left
2:44 little scene to show he was the best among all of them
