A 10 I'm giving this scene from Babylon.

10

10

1 The sound is too low

10, best scene of the movie imo, the movie is a bit like Lost, starts well, gets very disjointed in the middle and then rounds off to appear like sheer brilliance when looking back on it.

There'll be pie in the sky when you die!

Amen

Yep. Voyager's "pale blue dot" photo. We're insignificant af.

i WAS THINKING THE SAME THING!

Somewhat, yeah.

"You're Nothing,..... Nothing, Nothing, Nothing, and iam a F**in Actor!😅

so good

Except this time the critic had the final word

More than a 100 years

@@Willow-cw9te not really. Their relevance began to decline I think around the 90s

I think it's about mortality. We lose perspective. What's a few years of failure and obscurity when we will spend eternity dead? And of all us who are dead, the movie stars will live. The cruel part is that this movie star felt immortal in life, and now he must face something else.

Yep thats why he got Clipped.

(cue the knocking over of the phonebooth)

And what's more ironic is you think you're right

​@@jon8004Pitt is like the Jay-Z of actor boys, he saw the game & became an owner

I don't think so. The landscape of the industry changed, it went from silent movies to talkies, that's much of the reason Brad's character, along with other, was left behind. There isn't anything like that paradigm shift in the future (except maybe A.I.), when VHS came into the living rooms, it didn't change a thing for the actors.

@@weirdshibainu But why did talkies ruin his career? Couldn't he talk or something?

@@Lethallime1234 Before the sound era, a film set was a very different place. While a cameraman filmed the actor/actress, the director just off screen could literally direct almost like a choreographer: "Now do X. Look up. Show more sadness." Etc. The director could even feed the actor or actress lines, since their speaking only showed up as a visual medium. Being a silent movie actor arguably was more like being a ballet dancer or a mime than like being a theater actor or a talkie movie actor: it required a different, visual skillset. Also, Brad Pitt's character was aging, compounding the issue.

Bruce Campbell is closer to a cockroach in this analogy.

Thats the world we are living in.

It just happened man, like it does to everybody in this industry. Pitt's character(Conrad) was very famous before sound was a thing in movies, but when it finally got added into it, he basically ran out of fashion and became a "has been". Same thing happens on Tarantino's "Once upon a time in Hollywood". Just goes to show how lucky these famous people really are, as they rely on very subjective and often out of control things to stay relevant. A single change and "PFF", they're gone into the shadows. Only very few individuals manage to stay famous for a long time.

@@Murilovisky007 thanks 4 the response I'll have to watch the movie. I didn't get the no sound to sound transition part.. makes sense. Cheers

@@Murilovisky007 / I'm not sure I would call any famous actor lucky, it seems more like a curse or an affliction. The desire to be loved by all and then receiving that wish - then having it all taken away is (I can only imagine) a terrible curse... I would never want to "be famous" I can go have a nice lunch with my GF and be left alone, I can have an opinion and it is not some crisis, I can be completely me in my anonymity and live a fulfilling life, a famous actor will forever live in a kind of torment - which is why drug abuse and alcoholism run rampant among Hollywood stars - they are tormented souls (not a fate I would embrace) careful what you wish for, you might get it ...

@@Andrew_M_Ward What I referred to as luck isn't related to the way their life is at the top, but rather "how" they got there. I completely agree with what you said. However, we can't forget that, despite all these negative aspects, there is a massive number of people who aspire to become famous and well known, making it extremely competitive and challenging to achieve the level of success that individuals like Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt have reached. But yes, I can't even fathom the idea of being constantly followed around and having to deal with people constantly talking to you, believing that your opinion truly matters or that it will somehow make a difference. Funny because despite all the attention these famous people get, I think they struggle a lot to build meaningful connections.

@@Murilovisky007 / Agreed, Sir 100% agreed ... I love that we get to see their craftsmanship but they do live in a kind of willful torment and it is absolutely hyper-competitive and there's way too much money and too much free time accompanied by that money and the inclination to believe that YOU are somehow "special" and the human ego is dangerous when given what it wants most... Bless them - in many ways, they take a bullet for all of us. We get to enjoy their art and then go have a quiet afternoon (we're the lucky ones)

How is anything infinite in the realm of life?

@@vargadumi you don’t get it

@@steven7846 Any reasoning?

Completely not true.

Yeah, I don't think Brad Pitt is the greatest actor. He's unbelievably charismatic and fun to watch, but his actual acting often leaves much to be desired.

​@@lukewilliam3601directors need Brad to be Brad, he is the characters.

Look at the response he gave to his wife earlier in the film and the way he approached Elinor earlier on in this exchange. Seemed he treated people critiquing with contempt so to become one himself, a tragic demise in line with real life John Gilbert instead of a long sedentry life before a typewriter is the only way the Conrad character could have panned out. It's sad but this film is an accurate portrayal of early hollywood, characters and scenes are based off real events and people and in those times when the big studios and big stars where finding their feet in the days of less ethics, there will have been no blueprint to handle fame, they were the ones people learn from today..

lmao what the hell is this

nuh uh

Writing is great

Your gay.

Did you mean trite

@@chrisS19019 No i meant tripe, which as an insult means silly and worthless.

Imagine being an ostentatious commenter that’s never contributed great writing to anything…
