Babylon (Damien Chazelle - December 2021) • Page 2

I’m already dreading the discourse around this movie so much lol

 

i see less comparisons to la la land and more to classic eras of hollywood from modern directors like once upon a time in hollywood coming up

 

This is really nothing like La La Land based on the script, but it'll probably get the same awards narrative of Hollywood loving movies about Hollywood.

I'd say Wolf of Wall Street with the vibe of Barton Fink, Hail Caesar, and Chaplin (idk I've only seen bits and pieces of the last two).

 

this sounds great.

 

I’ve noticed this ever since The Artist one best picture. If you make a movie about Hollywood, it will get rewarded. Unless you’re Bowfinger.

 

Oh yeah, The Artist is the other movie it'll get a ton of comparisons to (just because of the theme of the end of silent films)

 

strangely nothing for a star is born though, which is obsessed with LA

 

yeah but that’s music no movie bad 4 hollywood

 

It did win Best Original Song

 

it had 8 nominations haha

 

1 for 8 ain't nothing though!

 

I guess I'll share, here's the script

 

Through 10 pages and this sounds like mayhem haha

 

Yeah i'm 25 pages in. This is going to be insane. Like it's outdoing the debauchery of Wolf of Wall Street. Margot Robbie is going to be a frontrunner for best actress next year i'm calling it now

 

and ya'll haven't even reached the point where (I assume) the academy will just stop the movie, give them all the awards, and make a speech about how magical and amazing Hollywood is

 

well to be fair in the decade since The Artist & Argo, movies about "Hollywood/LA" such as: La La Land, A Star is Born, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Mank, and in some ways even Licorice Pizza - these are all movies with lots of nominations including Best Picture, but will actually win maybe 1-2 of those awards if they are lucky, and in all cases lose best picture

 

I actually always forget (including in my comment above) that La La Land didn't really win Best Picture.

 

above tweet got deleted, i assume it was basically this:

 

Oh shit, the leaked script doesn't include Chaplin. I was thinking he'd play Irving Thalberg

 

I read the first scene of the leaked script a few weeks ago and I'm so excited for this.

 

Sounds amazing
