Babylon

I can't explain why, but this was a good fucking film. It is literally a movie about movies, explaining how films remain timeless, as the actors and its executives get taken by time. I also loved how the movie delves into each and every character, something that many films don't do, as well as music being a big part of the film and talking about its progress and importance throughout the years. Well done Damien Chazelle!!! (Get Tobey Maguire out of this I'm getting nightmares) Elinor St. John: in a hundred years, when you and I are both long gone, any time someone threads a frame of yours through a sprocket, you will be alive again. You see what that means? 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.
