Babylon Trailer Is Absolutely Hilarious and Epic!
This is what a proper trailer looks like, long but not because it is explaining the story, it is because there is too much chaos to explain and the audience is always guessing. We’re barely given moment to capture or get sense of what exactly is this film about? We don’t have any details of the plot. It has been very intentionally kept under the lid. Based on the trailer and the information that has been made available to us, this is what I think the plot is: Brad Pitt stars as Jack Conrad, a party-loving superstar in his late prime, whereas, Robbie plays Nellie LaRoy, a talented young actress, whose recent breakthrough performance has made heads turn.
The images in the trailer don’t fail capture the lust for fame in 1920s Hollywood. The sets look lavish and each character so distinct. The film is supposed to be different period piece and both of these things are a major requirement. While I thought we’ll get to see more of Tobey Maguire’s character however, his screen time in the trailer was limited but he does look absolutely sinister. The trailer mostly focuses on Margot Robbie, Brad Pitt and Diego Calva who has a French accent in the film.
The film is going to present us with much darker characters and themes than Chazelle’s previous works. However, the themes would reminiscent as this film too plays with themes like ambition, love, lust for success. These themes are predominant in Chazelle’s filmography. In comparison the trailer has more of a fun, dark comedic vibe. All I know is this is a film you have to watch on the big screen. The trailer looks fantastic as well. I’m extremely excited for Babylon.
The film has been made on an hefty budget of $110 Million and we can see where the money has gone. Babylon stars Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie in the lead with supporting performances from Diego Calva, Jovan Adepo, Li Jun Li, Jean Smart, and Tobey Maguire.
