Babylon
how is this fucking movie not regarded as the best piece of cinema
I could write an entire essay on this film. like changed my view on cinema. it's revolutionary. but idk if im ready to vocalize everything im thinking and feeling.
but i'm just gonna do a list
- margot robbie literally never fails to impress
- the music. oh my god i wanna eat it
- the balance between violence and beauty and storytelling
- like the narrative is insane, it's so well put together
- the cinematography and lighting. GIRL. 😩
- AND MANNY?!? he gets it. he really fucking gets it. i need to lock in.
- “I always wanted to be part of something bigger, something that lasts, that means something.” nellie's "you don't become a star. you either are one or you ain't" AUGH she breathed so maxine could exist. idc
- his passion. all of the characters passion.
