Babylon

“I just want to be part of something bigger. To be part of something important, something that lasts, that means something.” Dude it’s soooooo fucked up how Damien Chazelle probably wont get a budget like this for a minute if ever, I hope I’m wrong but fuck!!!!! This is movie magic for real, what he got out of literally everything, those one takes, the sets, the colors, the shots, the cast. Like wow. Diego Calva? To hold such a weight in a movie with such an insane cast is an insane challenge and he carried ! Margot Robbie is so fucking cool like holy shit that sequence of dancing her ass off at the party in the beginning will never not be dope! A star. Tobey Macquarie looks like a sick sick fuck in this. Watching Brad Pitts role in 2024 was interesting. We’re living in a time where a movie this year came out with him and George Clooney and lowkey no one gave a fuck? Even those two didn’t do much of their own press tour. Different times then when Pitt boy was starting, this role kind of seems mad personal to him. What matters now to the average movie goer is either some franchise remake, or a movie getting enough traction on its own regardless of the cast, that spreads through the internet enough to really be a word of conversation to convince you to go to the movies. Makes you wonder what he’s going to do next year for that movie F1. Man that fucking intro sequence is just something else. Yearly rewatch!  “We gotta redefine the form. The man who puts gasoline in your tank goes to the movies why? Why? Why? Because he feels less alone there. Don't we owe him more than the same old shit? You got the guys in Europe with the twelve-tone. You got Bauhaus architecture. Fucking Bauhaus, you know? And we're still doing costume pictures? It's the dinosaurs, kid. It's the ones who go to Beverly Hills for meatballs and mint juleps to reminisce about the old days, when they can't see there's so much more to be done! We've got to innovate. We've got to inspire. We got to dream beyond these pesky shells of flesh and bone. Map those dreams onto celluloid and print them into history. Turn today into tomorrow so that tomorrow's lonely man may look up at that flickering screen and say for the very first time, "Eureka! I am not alone!" Yeah.” “One day, every person on every film shot this year will be dead. And one day, all those films will be pulled from the vaults, and all their ghosts will dine together, and adventure together, go to the jungle, to war together. A child born in 50 years will stumble across your image flickering on a screen and feel he knows you, like... like a friend, though you breathed your last before he breathed his first. You've been given a gift. Be grateful. Your time today is through, but you'll spend eternity with angels and ghosts.”
