Witnessing this in theaters with the speakers blasting the soundtrack was an otherworldly experience.

Watching this scene in the theater was one of the best theater experiences I've ever had

I remember someone saying that Babylon could be viewed as a love letter to cinema, or a suicide note. And that’s a hell of a feeling to create in a viewer

In 10 or 20 years this film is gonna be a classic

After three hours, this montage hits and I was floored. It comes out of nowhere and practically tears the concept of cinema apart. I’ve never seen anything like it. It caps the film perfectly.

As a cinema student, this was my best theater experience for now

The chemical reactions in the montage, depicts the nitrate-detoriation of the film-chemicals of silent era films. According to Martin Scorsese 90% of silent films have completely gone. They are not recoverable anymore. That's why he took the initiative to restore old films in digital 4K. What the film does is, that it shows nelli laRoy and brad pitt are being damaged & vanishing from cinema forever (through various red-blue-green phases of decomposition). This is an incredibly sad scene. More so, because jean smart's character at one point in the film, tell brad, even though his career was over, that he will live forever through his silent films. But that is not the case. His films are now lost forever.

Best 4th wall breaker ever. The character didn't break the 4th wall, cinema itself did in this scene.

The flashing colors are representative of how many silent film reels have degraded beyond saving; the tragedy that these people, these characters, were not immortalized after all. They were lost to time.

idk how damien recovered after this film banged. He provided cinema with the love he has for cinema and no one went to see, a person literally tries to transform an industry but ignored by both critics and audience is highest form of disrespect a true cinema lover can get. ofc we can technically blame this on poor marketing but still....

Sad Ending or Happy Ending It doesn't matter, Babylon brought a totally nostalgic ending for movie lovers and for me an ending that means you have to move on with your life No matter if your legacy or your best moment is over, don't stay at the party when the party is over, progress just like the movies did and never stop creating what you love the most And above all, don't end up like these people of the movie

I cried in the cinema when this played. As a film studies/making graduate, and a true lover of cinema obsessively since childhood, I was simply overwhelmed by the montage showcasing the early beginnings of moving pictures to the grandure of modern cinema, all backed up by the incredible soundtrack emanating from the speaker system. I was just blown away. Cinema is for me an escape and my first love. Its the way i bonded with my dad as a child. We both love scifi movies and horror. I watched so many classic scifi's and horrors with him long before I should have been allowed to, as well as westerns and mid century action flicks. I seen this film alone for that reason. I knew this was a film I had to see by myself to fully connect. It was so powerful. Critics and viewers were harsh on it, but I can already tell that this film with grow to be a classic. Critics will give it more love as it ages. It will be studied by students a generation from now too. This was a love letter to the industry and to cinema enthusiasts. I feel it reflected so much back to us, the viewer. I was trying to hide the fact I was weeping, yet by the end I was smiling. I felt what Manny experiences as he rediscovered his love for film in that 1950s movie theatre. I was crying in a 2020s Irish movie theatre blown away by what I seen. One of the most beautiful experiences I've ever had in a cinema, one that will stay with me for the rest of my life. This movie warmed my heart, broke it and warmed it all over again.

How tf is it possibile that justin hurwitz didn't win the oscar, the soundtrack of this film is a masterpiece

one of the most jaw-dropping scenes that i've ever seen

I can make a comparison to La La Land’s ending as while La La Land’s ending sequence is a dream, Babylon’s ending sequence is a nightmare. Seriously, this scene shook me.

This was so fascinating when I watched this scene for the first time, knowing that how many films have been made in the past century and how there have been so many people then, now, and later who will pour their heart and soul into something. Then all of that will eventually become a part of something bigger that we can't begin to comprehend!

Truly a movie moment

I remember thinking to myself as I watched this in the theater, "Is he allowed to do that?!" Idk how Damien Chazelle comes up with these kind of endings, but goddamn its so moving, so authentic, this is easily one of the greatest endings to a movie ive seen.

I literally couldn't stop smiling when I watched this scene for the first time in theaters. The evolution of cinema going along with the crazy music is just pure art.

You can tell from Mannys emotions that in the end all that work paid off

This ending means two things and is honestly horrifying. Yes the sound in cinema changed things and it has become bigger than anyone could possibly even imagine. However it’s led to constant misery, pain, destruction, and even can lead people into changing their entire view on life in an instant. While it can give the people making the movie a sense of fame and glory, it ultimately doesn’t mean anything in the next few years when something else comes along. All that blood, sweat, and tears and it’s another dvd in a bargain bin for 4.99.

Babylon is art

One of the greatest endings in film history

People who like this movie and this end sequence might enjoy the documentary series 'The Story of Film: An Odyssey', a 2011 British series with 15 episodes covering the entire history of movies from 1888 to 2010. Talks a lot about how movies have changed over times, and the heartbreak as well as the joy that comes from the movie making industry.

Possibly the greatest tribute to Cinema and nobody went to go see it 😢.

Whenever someone ask me how to define art, I will say "Babylon". This is art. This is what cinema should be. This was probably my best experience in a theatre

"a Love Letter to Cinema, and a Hate Letter to Hollywood"

Don't know if anyone else caught this, but I am pretty sure the blue, red, green, and yellow colors towards the end are in reference to the intro credits and end credits of Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange (another film that just so happened to use Singin in the Rain in one scene and as the credits song).

Seeing this 3 times in theaters is one for the books for best movie theater going experience and is something I’ll never forget.

I'm so sad that this somehow managed to sneak by me, i can only imagine how amazing it must have been to get to watch this in theaters with the out of this world phenominal soundtrack playing to its fullest potential

Me and my friends watched this movie by chance, there weren't any movies we hadn't watched so we chose this, my friends didn't much of it, but i was blown away by this scene when it played in the theater, and it reminded me just how amazing cinema can truly be and how far it has come. Imo 10/10 movie

it is after this collage it hit me, this movie's story is not about manny's love or his rags to riches story or rather about any of the character's personal life. Its rather a story about despite the uglies of hollywood, its successfully created the beautiful cinematic masterpieces weve enjoyed thru all the years. When u sign up for hollywood u are no longer a normal person, uve signed up for an ugly life in exchange of contributing into pushing the boundaries of cinema.

Seeing Persona in theatre felt like it's your first time seeing the film in theatre back in 60s.

Babylon deserved WAYYY more praise. The whole film, specifically the final act was phenomenal!!! Diego and Margot were amazing 🙌

me arrepiento toda la vida de no haber visto esta joya en el cine

Babylon will be remembered as a cult classic in the future ❤️❤️

It’s weird how the ending made me feel nostalgic for the movie and characters. The most amazing theatre experience I’ve ever had really felt like I grew old with the characters and I was feeling mannys nostalgia

Diego Calva deserves more recognition

This movie will become cult classic in 10 years. Those who liked it the first time were ahead of their time jus like this movie

To this day i still dont know what to think of this film but i know one thing - this ending brought tears of cinematic joy to my eyes. Just the colours moving is something i want to watch for the rest of my life.

If this hits Netflix then more and more ppl will come out saying they wished they saw it in theaters.( as of now it’s on prime)

This why I love that kind of montage : no matter the genre, no matter the movies quality... We are all cinema's lovers

Watching this moment in theater, was one of the most amazing and surprising things.

I'm so pissed I never got this see this movie in a theater

this moment was NUTZ!! Literally never seen a movie do a montage of other films. So weird and interesting and beautiful and cool. Love it. Maybe Chazelle's best movie.

This scene was simply an appreciation to cinema history, the film industry has come a long way

The score itself should've won an Oscar.

This movie will be the monument it deserves... One day. I remember watching this scene in theatre, everyone with a huge smile on the face and a dust in an eye ❤

Why this movie didn't absolutely kill it will remain a complete mystery to me. I cried at 3 or 4 different moments, but that ending? Man... Seeing this in a theater will remain one of my favourite experiences ever. Just speechless. I love the memory so much I'm afraid to watch it again. Keep making movies Damien we need it!

I have goose bumps just thinking about how this made me feel in the cinema

Todos al ver el montaje final: Joder esto si es cine 🚬

Mindblowing, Damien Chazelle is for sure my favourite contemporary filmmaker. It was a long time since I felt such emotions watching a film. At the end, I found myself smiling with this outstanding meta narrative sequence.

I wish if I can relive this moment again when I saw it in the theatre.

I love that I was able to see this in theatres

One of my favorite scenes

Insane, just totally insane. 'Babylon' for life.

Masterpiece of the decade 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

The last hour of this movie just gets better and better. I found myself suspended in that magical place the movie is supposed to take you to. Then my emotions took over. So powerful and such an underrated masterpiece of film making.

This has to be the best ending to a movie…

Such an amazing movie. Watched it twice (a 3 hr movie) on flights 2 Europe and Kauai. The second time I watched on mute with subtitles and gained an entirely new appreciation for it.

You have done the most admirable work. Thank you very much

Still a pleasure to cry each time I'm watching that scene 🥲

I love this film. It's not perfect, but it is a pure love letter to the cinema, just like Martin Scorsese's Hugo

No one going to mention the final scene of Cinema Paradiso? Oh well, then allow me.

One of the best movie montages since _Very Nice, Very Nice_ and _The Parallax View_

this film did not deserve the hate it got

Not only does this show how fame can rise and fall but it also shows look into the future of film

I really wish I watched this in theaters 😢

I watched this movie with my girlfriend and i did not enjoy it at first, too long to self indulging, too grotesque. But my opinion has changed, and this scene is an absolute masterpiece. I was not ready for what i have experienced, and i was not ready for it to end. I miss it, and i envy people that are yet to watch it. If they are ready for it.

Me watching morbius (2022)

One of the best scenes ever made in cinema.

One of the best endings in the cinematic history 👏

this movie was AMAZING

Love this ending! There is a lot of CINEPUNCH video effects used. Awesome! I have those packs for video editing! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Vi ésta película con mi amiguín Darkfat a inicios de 2023 en su guarida, con cervezas y fritos. Fue el mejor final de películas en muchos años. Es épica BABYLON sencillamente épica.

this was the best to see in theaters favorite scene of 2022 for me

I saw this movie for the first time last year when it came out in theaters. The only reason why I saw this movie was because I went out on a date with a woman that was much heavier set than what her pictures led on to believe. Anyway, we agreed to get dinner and then see this movie after; and this was before I met her in person. We ended up meeting in person, and she was way bigger than what I saw in her dating profile pics. I decided to give her the benefit of the doubt and had dinner with her, then we met at the movie theater to see this movie. I really had no idea what this movie was about and didn't even watch the trailer or had done any research on this movie. But during this movie, all I could do was watch and be absolutely encapsulated. This movie held my attention that no other modern movie ever could. I remember the woman I was with kept wanting to makeout, but all I could do was shove her away and tell her no, because all that was important was watching this movie. I've seen this movie alone about five times in theaters, once with friends, and it still charts the top of my list for favorite movies. Thank you Movieclips for posting this up here on KZfaq for us to enjoy!

As soon as it's back in cinemas I'm going in....masterpiece

I want to experience this again in theaters.

God what i'd give to watch this in theater for the first time againnn

Trippy masterpiece. Never even heard of it until a couple weeks ago.👍👍

The meaning of cinema

When i'm chilling but then suddenly i remember that no woman or situation will gonna make me feel like the first time i watched this scene in the cinema.

Such a good scene

this movie was the best 3 hours of my life

babylon is one of those movies, great ost great movie greats actors and an odd to cinema that last scene.. a futur classic

This movie is Chazelle’s best movie ever

I loved this film.

Best movie of all time

Me encanto esta pelicula. Como amante del cine el montaje final me emociono. Hacia años que una pelicula no me dejaba tantos recuerdos y el querer verla una y otra vez para ver todos los detalles

Masterpiece.

I've noticed that many people were divided on Babylon. Some liked it, some hated it.. Some didn't get it or some just thought it was okay. I feel like people today are so critical about movies and value the opinion of critics so much that they just forget to enjoy the movie. They forget to have fun and be thrilled when watching, instead they just nitpick at maybe the acting or something that isn't really worth picking on. I feel like people have just become so critical when it comes to movies. Now, I know that there's this wonderful concept called an opinion that many people have especially when it comes to movies and you're right. Everyone has opinions. And my opinion on this movie was that it was very good! Yeah, maybe this movie was 3 stars out of 5 or somewhere around a 3.5 or however you like to rank your movies.. But I think what people need to start thinking about is did you have fun? Was it enjoyable? If not, then that's okay! The only reason I'm saying this is because without the advancement of film and sound and also movies that pushed the medium further and further... We wouldn't have most of the iconic movies we know and love today. And that's why this montage is important, it reminds that we wouldn't be here without it and also the blood, sweat and tears that went into making sound films even possible. This montage is a love, hate and suicide note to filmmaking and Hollywood. Long Live Cinema!

The Nope Horse clip 🐎☁️

Questo finale dà speranza o comunque una svegliata ai futuri cineasti e alle nuove generazioni, il succo è che il cinema è sala, subire arte, sedere assieme ad altre persone sconosciute di qualsiasi classe sociale, la sala dà queste sensazione, la TV e il divano no! Vedere questo finale in sala mi ha scosso, vedere gli altri volti presenti che uscivano dalla sala chi emozionato chi triste...

one of the most beautiful movie ever made

One of the movies of all time

Final brutal, absolutamente arrollador, extraordinario. Para los amantes del cine como un servidor aquí, me vació, me llenó y me volvió a vaciar, todo ello sin dejar de emocionarme hasta las lágrimas mientras no podía borrar la sonrisa de mi cara. Exaltación pura.

The first 3 things ever filmed was a horse galloping, a train leaving the station and a naked woman. This movie was such a marvel and it should get much more praise. But I’m glad it atleast won an award. It was so captivating in the theaters and this scene threw me through such a beautiful loop.

Probably the greatest ending scene ever
