Babylon

Being original, the display of various body parts, plot points or movie moments is just wondering.Damien Chazelle is no exception in his latest film, also to mention "La La La Love" and "Breaking Bad" are my favorite movies and I'm a big fan of Chazelle's direction. He often shares these skills on Babylon, but it also makes him the most popular person in Hollywood today.

There are a lot of things I like here. The opening scene was captivating and I was blown away by its vibrant energy. For the next two hours ,the movie was moving so well that I couldn't hear most of it. Chazelle loses the point of the story in the last hour. Several times I thought the movie was over, but then another scene appeared.

The running time felt really unnecessary and honestly, the entire plot could have been removed without affecting the film. Justin Hurwitz has created another great score (with some hints of La La La Love) and the cinematography, costumes and production are excellent. Apart from some bad editing, especially the odd final cinematic montage that doesn't flow very well, the film's proceedings are very successful.

Chazelle really needs someone to say no to him. With some improvements and a combination of self-mastery, this will be as close to an epic masterpiece as it should be. This is an interesting story about excess and fame in the early years of Hollywood.

The problem is that the film spends so much time in the mire that it gets so deep that when it finally tries to pull you out, it's too late. On the positive side, the cast is very good and carries the film beautifully, especially Margot Robbie's performance as Nellie. As with Chazelle's previous works, the scenes are well shot and (some) characters are memorable.

However, these positive results do not eliminate all the shortcomings of the film; that is, it tries too hard to attack the audience (as kids are kids) and doesn't spend enough time with its characters and values. Despite the collapsing runtime, the characters go together in the scene, and the ending feels entirely pretentious in the context of how pragmatic/cynical the whole thing makes it.

 I didn't have high hopes for this movie, maybe that's why I enjoyed it. This was very interesting to me; It was a hard thing to find in today's film industry, which consists of rinse and repeat big picture as well as predictable art and indie scenes (think it should be different and push each other). Like the movie industry in the 1920s, it was big, popular, and sometimes out of control.

It has Excellent technique, excellent cinematography, excellent acting and most of all, a somewhat appropriate sound. This story is over, but it will be better if you approach this movie as a movie to be experienced, not followed.

I think Babylon will become a more popular movie as time goes by and more people discover it. This is the most fun I've had at a new movie in years. Movies are my favorite and have been since I was a kid. I've watched movies from all genres, from all eras, and modern movies are the most disappointing to me. No more magic and it's boring but a welcome change.

This is a cinephile movie and it will be on my way right now and I think it will only improve as I watch it again because there is so much in this movie that you won't understand when you first look at it.

Ultimately, Babylon achieved its goal as an entertaining watch, but like Hollywood, which it criticized, its own lack of interest prevented it from being successful.
