Babylon - More or Less a Review

With a clear overdose of cocaine, a budget of $80 million dollars and film stars such as Margot Robbie and Brad Pitt's flat back of his head, Damien Chazelle's latest film tells of early Hollywood, the transition from silent films to sound films and, above all, lots of parties. What may sound like an absolute slay (for the boomers out here: triumph) turned out to be one of the biggest box-office flops of last year.

Maybe I'll be able to convince a few more people with this brilliant review to spend three hours and nine minutes of their lifes, not counting the short break and travel, in the cinema and then be haunted by Tobey Maguire in their nightmares for the rest of their lifes (if you know, you know) and improve Babylon's revenues at least a little bit.

I watched Babylon together with my mother on an average Friday afternoon right after school.

Outfit of the day was a green leopard patterned knit jumper, cream colored jeans, a pair of Comme les Garçons x Converse shoes and Nivea Natural Balance deodorant with a scent of organic green tea. Now I suddenly wonder if there is a difference in the scent of deodorants, whether the green tea is organic or not? Nevermind. Although, what would Fairtrade green tea smell like? Maybe I should write Nivea an email.

Now back to the actual topic: *drumroll* the film!

The film starts, after an elephant pooped into the camera in quite a detailed way, with a large and very chaotic party in a desert house. Already after the first ten minutes, it is very clear which direction the film will take. At the party we are also introduced to most of the important characters. Nellie LaRoy (Margot Robbie), the kinda wannabe born star who wants to become an actress, Jack Conrad (Brad Pitt), an actor famous for silent films (we can see where this is going), Sidney Palmer (Jovan Adepo), a musician on the rise of fame, Lady Fay Zhu (Li Jun Li), an actress and performer inspired by Anna May Wong, Lady Fay Zhu is being described by Margot Robbie as an absolute badass, which totally I agree on, and last but certainly not least Manny Torres (Diego Calva), who has always wanted to work on a film set.

My favorite review that I found on Letterboxd.

Let’s start with the good. The feeling and the emotions you get from this film are astonishing. Babylon is a bit like a roller coaster. The film is a very intense experience with all senses involved. It was both fascinating and unbearable for me, but kind of in a good way. The experience certainly shouldn’t be compared with Chazelle’s rather cheerful romcom La La Land. Towards the end there were scenes where I just wanted it to end and when it did I was very relieved. This slightly uncomfortable feeling you get is totally on purpose and that’s what makes Babylon so intriguing. Part of this experience is also the great music from Justin Hurwitz, which I think shouldn’t be overlooked.

The performances in this film are just beyond. Li Jun Li as Lady Fay Zhu was probably my favorite. *spoilers ahead* I loved every single scene of hers, her acting is so strong and you can feel her attention grabbing confidence even trough the screen when she enters a room. My favorite scene must have been when she saved Nellie LaRoy from nearly being killed by a snake. Margot Robbie was really powerful too. In one scene, Nellie is shooting her first film ever and she has to let a tear roll down her cheek, but they have to take several shots and she’s able to repeat it over and over. In this scene we can see how good of an actress Margot Robbie is. I also really seemed to enjoy that one scene where Nellie is looking for new sponsors for her future films at a party full of rich people. She starts to get really mad, because all these people are so arrogant and selfish and in the end she purposely throws up on an extremely expensive rug (it was giving me very much Triangle of Sadness vibes).

Now let’s talk about the things that I didn’t enjoyed quite as much. First of all: the length. I know that films are getting longer over time, but if I enter the cinema by four o’clock and leave by nearly eight o’clock, then I just have to say that the film’s too long. And I don’t want to say by any means that the film was boring at any point, but I’m not sure if this length was needed. The second thing I disliked was that we didn’t get to see anything from the relationship between Nellie and Lady Fay Zhu. This goes though probably hand in hand with making the film even longer. So I can see the point not to include it, but I still think that it’s a bit sad.

All in all, I think Babylon is a good film and is definitely worth watching, especially if you like the kind of razzle-dazzle film style.

Overall I would give Babylon an 8 out of 10 rating.

Make Way For Tomorrow

This week i will be discussing Leo McCarey’s 1937 Make Way For Tomorrow . In this film Barkley played by Victor Moore and Lucy played by Beulah Bondi are an elderly couple who’s house is going into foreclosure and they can no longer stay in their home. Faced with this delima they ask their 5 children to help them find shelter. The children don’t take too much fondness to this and appear standoffish . Their brother George is the only one who takes the initiative to help the parents splitting mom to his home with wife and daughter then dad with Nellie played by Minna Gombell. Lucy is treated well by George but runs into hiccups frequently with the wife which causes them to become uncomfortable. Barkley takes sick for some time and it is overall hard for the couple being away. Throughout the movie they fight in their own ways to get back to each other and on their last day before Barkley going to California, they take a stroll down memory lane.

I was at first confused on the overall purpose of the movie but when i thought about the great depression, the message became clear. To us in this time this can be viewed as a old film that tells a story of just an unfortunate cute old couple but to people back in this time , it was their lives. With the depression and everything that followed, people weren’t sure of what was going to happen next and they were force to go with the flow even with things in pieces in hopes that they would be brought back together again even if that meant family. Although there isn’t many clips from the movie that you can find there is one scene in particular that stood out to me. In this scene, Barkley calls Lucy for the first time and at first they’re so excited to speak with each other and the call slowly turns said and very errier because you can feel the love that they want to be able to express but can’t because they’re far away from each other.

As i mentioned earlier, George appeared to be the only sibling that ACTUALLY wanted to help. He was the first to offer to get something done with the living situation and even got Nellie to agree. Although it was clear that him and his family were happy to have mom there, there were clear moments when you can see it was becoming an issue. Anita( Fay Bainter) became irritable within reason when Lucy appeared to be wanting to “run the house” in many ways. One of the important ways being raising her daughter Rhoda ( Barbra Read) when she goes missing with a older man and now they have to find her. In this particular scene Anita was infuriated with Lucy and began yelling at her but quickly stopped because Lucy had obviously been very apologetic. This all made me think of the strain that the depression placed on people. Although these people who appeared to have had great relationships before moving in with each other , were slowly being torn apart by little situations building on each other

Even if these people were family, it placed a lot of burdens on everyone involved. In this case the parents being housed is the burden of the children but that (being housed) & everything that comes along with it is the burden for the parents. Nellie, who doesn’t even follow through has a burden of her husband not agreeing and then as well as her not being interested in it at all.

In the criterion May 11th article Make Way For Tomorrow: Make Way For Lucy the writer touched on a great point

In Make Way, Anita's continual reactions draw us in because they compel us to figure out what a face means, to discover a telltale gesture barely hinted at, and in making this effort, we are converted from passive watchers to offstage prompters. Half-expressed emotions oblige us to complete the thoughts. Similarly, we feel complicit when (six times in Make Way) two people make faces behind the back of a third; we take sides in the game. Or when we sneak with the maid to a keyhole to eavesdrop—and still can't find out why granddaughter Rhoda didn't come home, or what the phone call was, unless we happen to catch a throwaway line three scenes later (“Mrs. Clare promised to keep Rhoda's name out of the case”), and even then we have to chew on it. And we have to chew again to figure out why daughter Cora is so upset that Max brings her father soup. (She's like Cary Grant in McCarey's The Awful Truth, who accuses his wife of adultery: Cora doesn't make soup, and Grant's had an affair

This part stood out to me because throughout the movie Lucy had very interesting looks on her face. I thought she might have been playing them the whole time and some time’s she wasn’t but then i realized she was perhaps getting by the best way she knew how: being herself.

The overall relationship of the parents were very interesting. The movie can take so many turns: are the the kids even shadier than we think? will the parents get back together? does something bad happen? But to my liking it turned out to be a nice trip down memory lane. The parents finally reuniting was something interested because it almost signified a main question during the great depression for some “ Will i ever see my loved one again?” Some got the answer they wanted and other’s didn’t.

This trip down memory lane has many things going on. First they’re basically looking back on everything they should have done while time is not in their favor. Yet they are determined to spend time with each other.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4mePNnTsQk

They had finally been able to take their time back and do what they use to do. All while their children are waiting on them.

In conclusion, McCarey was able to catch a beautiful couple in a not so beautiful moment to result in a cinematic master piece.
