{"title": "Babylon", "timestamp": 1699121461.1154757, "description": "I would say that **Babylon**, the 2022 film directed by [Damien Chazelle](/search?text=Damien+Chazelle&) is Damien Chazelle's 1941. I wrote an article describing how [1941 is the ultimate Steven Spielberg movie](/articles/The_Real_Steven_Spielberg.md) and how there is a certain type of over the top insanity you can expect from a good filmmaker going completely unhinged. 1941 wasn't received well. People in the cinema were reportedly closing their ears from the shier amount of loud explosions that happened in the movie. **Babylon** is the lowest rated movie from Damien Chazelle. But it doesn't mean that the movie is dull, or badly made. Both 1941 and **Babylon** are explosive insanity-fests showcasing the ability of a good director to maintain focus in an absolute chaos. Both films are incredibly well directed. There are complex shots and interesting cuts all through out. But perhaps they had injected so much energy into the movies that the movies overdosed the audience. And therefor received worse reviews.", "author": {"avatar": "https://blenderdumbass.org/pictures/favicon.png", "bio": "Aka: J.Y. Amihud.
