![[1000 Hours Minecraft Timelapse] Babylon (4K/60fps)](/img/1.gif)
I'm with you on this. I did not expect this movie to be as batshit insane as it was. I walked in feeling tired and in a pissy mood and walked out 3 hours feeling energized. Give me Babylon any fucking day over Fabelmans.
100%
My question is, how can you even compare the movies? Lol. Kind of a stupid comparison if you ask me.
Easy. They're both love letters to the movies (okay Babylon was a love and hate letter), both movies about the making of movies, they came out around the same time and they're both likely to get Oscar consideration. lol. Kind of a dumb question if you ask me.
@@Itsalwayscloudyincleveland you must not enjoy spielberg as a director then. Haha
@@Itsalwayscloudyincleveland overtly sentimental? Ready player one? What?
I loved this movie. After watching everything everywhere all at once I thought to myself: this is gonna be the movie of the year for me, but then I saw Babylon.
It is truly a masterpiece, Justin Hurwitz’s catching music, the cinematography, the characters and the overall experience. For me it was first time I went to the cinema alone (19), and there was like 9 others there, but still Babylon made me feel something special. I couldn’t care less about the other audience. I could av been alone in the room.
The amount of details and Intertextuality is incredible. And you get that satisfaction when you are able to catch multiple references.
My last year of high school I had this big project where I analyzed La La Land and it’s Intertextuality. After watching a dozen musicals and classic Hollywood movies, you truly begin to admire Damien Chazzeles work. La La Land went from a 9/10 to a solid 10/10 after all the time i put into the movie. I’m telling you guys this because of all the time I spent analyzing La La Land made be understand a lot of Babylons references and it’s tribute to Hollywood. Chazelle is a genius and I can’t wait to see more from him.
Before you comment this, let me just excuse my English and the overall flow of this text. I wrote it on my phone and I am not a native English speaker.
You should do a Film Drunk Awards!
Oh yes. Even I do it for my film site, every year
YES!
Lol this is the same top comment on the Babylon review on The Oscar Expert’s channel
The Drunkies
Best of the year and the decade!
I feel like this movie might get trashed now, but in a few years it will be called a masterpiece
No it won't,
nowadays the amount of content these studios are churning out these days, people get bored very easily.
I agree. It’s very easy to tear apart a film for its flaws, it’s ambition, it’s budget, how it fares against the director’s previous work, not meeting expectations, etc… but after enough time, one thing that remains constant is our desire to share in bonding experiences. Watching a film with a group and being able to share the laughter, the shock, the surprises with others, and connecting with those who also enjoy a similar POV, that’s always going to be there.
I remember when The Big Lebowski came out and it was a dud. A few years later, there was a quiet reappraisal of the film and it has since become an iconic film. That movie has its share of flaws and warts, but it’s still beloved after all these years. Dazed and Confused is another example of a film that didn’t perform that well during its theatrical run and is considered a classic. Jackie Brown also felt like a bit of a disappointment when it was released and now some people think it’s his best film.
This movie has its flaws but it also has more than enough to get the conversation going because it’s enjoyable and a hell of a ride. So yeah, it could end up being a beloved film as time goes by while in the present, it’s just going to be trashed.
Seems like the good thing about this movie is that it feels like a movie
Well good morning to you too! I can't wait to watch this next week! Merry Crimbus Jonathan!
Your sweater looks so cute!
This IS the best movie of the year. And it has to get a bunch of Oscars. The most obvious for me is cinematography. It has to be a lock at this point. What an incredible work from Linus Sandgren.
I want it to win EVERYTHING!!!!! Its great to see an event film that isn't a superhero franchise thing. Award it!!!!!!
Was a waste of 3 hours was a rip off of once upon in Hollywood
@@fce_1235 That's your opinion. And I respect it since its the opinion of the majority of people that watched this movie. It's not a movie for everyone though. But people need to admit that its an extremely well crafted movie. It will still have at least 4 or 5 oscar nominations for sure.
Avatar has grossed over 1 billion dollars
I have been meaning to watch the Wolf of Wall Street and once upon a Time in Hollywood’s baby Babylon!! 😈😈😈
Great film. I love how the opening party is like a club that SNL’s Stefon would describe on Weekend Update. Really hoping that Robbie gets nominated for Best Actress 💃
I think your channel is awesome. Your personality really shines through
This movie insults the mainstream audience’s senses for 189 minutes, and I love it! Long story short, This is 2022’s Caligula
Best film of the year, and probably among the best of the decade. And it's not even in the Oscar race for best picture. There's just so much to get here from repeated viewings. I have done four.
Can’t wait to watch this movie 🙌
I loved this movie as well. I’m glad to see someone else who really liked it and appreciated it too. I’m with you the only thing that really bugged me was the runtime but other than that it was very very good and memorable
Just saw it. Was it a love letter to Hollywood or a love letter to Boogie Nights?
For real. Probably said to myself “hey that’s like boogie nights” half a dozen times lol
@@RB-.- Glad it wasn’t just me! By the time they got to the Toby Maguire sequence it became so obvious.
The Tobey Maguire sequence was certainly a nod to Boogie Nights. The way his henchman was spitting intermittently to make us nervous was certainly a parallel of the boy lighting up firecrackers in the drug deal scene of Boogie Nights. I like the way Chazelle played with us, challenging us to figure where we've seen these things before. And that actually is what he wants to say. We've seen this before and it's just going to get regurgitated through ages of film history.
It’s one of my favorite movies..it’s rare that a film actually makes me feel something.
With that being said,
Yeah that ending was ballsy😂
Like I can’t tell if he was just showing love to cinema or saying IM ONE OF THEM! Very kanye move
Had a blast!c Loved it!
I hope this is like Wolf of Wall Street to me. That film got mixed reactions from critics and a lot of people but it's pretty iconic and one of Scorsese best IMO.
Yeah being live in the film so much as well
I love the movie and I think it's a 5 star
we need a chazelle ranking with Guy and Madeline
I would so watch this!!
I cannot wait to watch this movie. Because Damian Chazelle's "La La Land" is my all time favorite movie EVER!!! I have seen in 25 times or more. I LOVE THIS MOVIE.
Have you seen moonlight?
damien chazelle is next up on the all time great directors of all time, along with justin hurwitz as one of the greatest film composers
Can’t wait
Watched it twice, beautiful film, cried at the end
This movie was Fucking WILD AND INSANE!! 🤩🤩🤩
I loved this movie too!!!
ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS FILM!!
the best !!!
I loved it as well.
This movie was absolutely insane in the most amazing way. That coke he snorted before the very end though... even I was lost there 😂
I could do without Tobey Maguire scenes
Im down with saying Babylon, could arguably be the greatest movie of the 2000s
lets go
I see a kid.
It waa good, until the 3rd act, then it was mediocre, until the last minutes, then it was bad
Sorry but LaLa Land is way much overrated.
And Moonlight is actually a true masterpiece.
One of the best movies of all time!
Loved it 🙏
DIEGO CALVA IS SO HOT
Despite reviewers and commenters that love this film, the critical consensus seems to be skip it and it's bombing at the box office. Personally, I think Chazelle is overrated.
Whiplash is one of the favorite films ever. Everything else by Chazelle is pretty mid. He essentially peaked after the first go-round?
A lot of people enjoyed La La Land more and considerer it to be better than Whiplash. Both are excellent movies. Also lots of top critics are saying Babylon is a masterpiece and Chazelle's best work to date. So I don't really think he peaked with Whiplash. I think Whiplash was just a start for him. He is easily becoming one of the best directors alive, if not of all time.
@@AndreFernandesMovies I'll get back to you after Babylon. La La Land is soooo lame. First Man was boring. It went from palpable realism to middling fantasy epics. Babylon will decide for me whether he was a one hit wonder or not.
@@CloseYourBrownEyes I didn't enjoy first man very much either. But I liked La La Land. I like musicals and I think it was of the best of the last couple years.
@@CloseYourBrownEyes what did u think of Babylon?
Movie was awful. Silly story that was unbelievable, dialogue unrealistic, and perhaps the worst ending to a film of similar magnitude. It felt like it was written by a bunch of film bros for film bros. I’m sure this will become a frat boy classic. It will not age well. There is nothing deep about it. If anything, it will go down a couple of notches in the years to come. Silly film.
well said sir,sometimes you have to have the humility as a director to step aside,and let a real writer shape your vision.This movie was a steaming pile of shit.
@@orangefacedbuddah1776 "This movie was a steaming pile of shit." Perfectly sums it up, lol.
@@theocean6524 as you have stated the writing was teriible, its has been an established part of filmaking that everybody thinks they can write.This comes from there film student days were you are encouraged to write your own material,this is correct because you are intimately connected to what you are making.Were it all goes wrong is when the filmakers now believe they can write scripts that the masses will also enjoy,therein lies the problem.Very few people can do what paul thomas anderson can do,very few.Take a giant like spielberg, he never writes his scripts,he supervises the story but he never actually writes his own scripts.He knows when to stand back,and it works.Unfortunately rubbish like quentin tarrentino, when he is not stealing other peoples work from the 1970s doesnt seem to quite understand this. I will say the orgy party scenes were done really well,the rest of the film not so much.
I would rather watch "Sunset Blvd." over and over again which I do. Or "Singing in the Rain" which tells the same story. I would also rather go to the new foreign films and the many low budget independent films that are released to New York cinemas every week. I saw "Babylon" at the movie theatre last weekend and after watching the elephant defecate on the man in the first act, I knew the movie was going to be all on this level....and it was. The only good scene was the scene between the gossip columnist and Brad Pitt..no extravagant set, just two good actors and good dialogue. And the movie bombed terribly as far as box office receipts. So far the movie has only made 8 million on a 80 million dollar budget. Too much overacting and too much of a desperate attempt for spectacle......begging people to please come see this move. However, if you liked the film, I am happy for you as the American Cinema needs support right now as all the couch potatoes are sitting at home watching Netflix.
very well said, the movie was trying a little to hard.
