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.

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.

Best of the year and the decade!

You should do a Film Drunk Awards!

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!

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 💃

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 feel like this movie might get trashed now, but in a few years it will be called a masterpiece

I think your channel is awesome. Your personality really shines through

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.

It was quite exciting.

Had a blast!c Loved it!

Can’t wait

Can’t wait to watch this movie 🙌

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.

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

Yeah being live in the film so much as well

we need a chazelle ranking with Guy and Madeline

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.

the best !!!

lets go

I loved this movie too!!!

I loved it as well.

This movie insults the mainstream audience’s senses for 189 minutes, and I love it! Long story short, This is 2022’s Caligula

Just saw it. Was it a love letter to Hollywood or a love letter to Boogie Nights?

Watched it twice, beautiful film, cried at the end

ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS FILM!!

This movie was absolutely insane in the most amazing way. That coke he snorted before the very end though... even I was lost there 😂

Loved it 🙏

I see a kid.

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

This movie was Fucking WILD AND INSANE!! 🤩🤩🤩

I could do without Tobey Maguire scenes

It waa good, until the 3rd act, then it was mediocre, until the last minutes, then it was bad

Im down with saying Babylon, could arguably be the greatest movie of the 2000s

One of the best movies of all time!

DIEGO CALVA IS SO HOT

Whiplash is one of the favorite films ever. Everything else by Chazelle is pretty mid. He essentially peaked after the first go-round?

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.

Sorry but LaLa Land is way much overrated. And Moonlight is actually a true masterpiece.

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.

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.
