Analysis of Babylonian films

Analysis of Babylonian films;

Babylon is poison, so we can see Marguero dancing like a psychotic episode, but we don't want to take our eyes off her skin.

From the beginning, this film was a panoramic party clip from the 1920s. The director made full use of the long lens, depth of field lens and other lenses, and through this party, he portrayed the times for the first time. All this reached a climax in the almost crazy dance of the clown girl, whether it was in front of the screen or on the screen.

From here on, the rhythm of the whole movie is kept at a very fast level, no matter the soundtrack or lines, especially the hysterical directors on the set, they are completely illogical.

The scene of the war film is full of casualties, really full of casualties, while the symphony orchestra plays gracefully; The dispatching shed is also bursting. From time to time, javelin is inserted in front of the staff, while the big stars are laughing and others are running around. All people are perverts and crazy about movies.

When the sun goes down and the camera disappears, when these lunatics become ordinary people sitting on the ground because of depression, a passionate jazz song and a car fly from a distance. Like a knight on a white horse, like everyone's angel, save everyone.

Here comes the camera, the same crazy little guy, holding the camera high and being worshipped by everyone. At this moment, he is the god of this film.

The movie Babylon mainly tells this story:

65438-0926 In Los Angeles, Manny, a Mexican immigrant, worked as a handyman at a wild party held by executives of Kinoscope Studio, where she met Nelly Laroy, a blonde from the bottom of New Jersey. She just arrived in Los Angeles, wild and rude, but ambitious, hoping to become a Hollywood movie star. Manny fell in love with her at first sight.

Also attending the party were Jack Conrad, a famous middle-aged actor at that time, China actress Zhu Fei, and African-American jazz trumpeter Sidney who was still struggling. At the party, Manny also met Jack, who recommended him to work on the shooting scene and was appreciated for his excellent work performance.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the set, Nellie was discovered for her amazing dance and performance, and made a silent film, which made her famous. In the later 1927, the first talking film "Jazz Singer" was released, which changed the pattern of the film industry and Hollywood forever.

Manny seized the opportunity of the times and gradually grew up to become a film producer; Nelly, on the other hand, because of her self-indulgence, can no longer keep up with the pace of the audio age, gradually sinking and being forced to reform by the studio. Because of his acting skills, Jack has not adapted to the era of sound, and has entered a double crisis of middle age and career.

Zhu Fei, because of his homosexual tendencies, can no longer be tolerated by increasingly conservative Hollywood. Sidney became an actor in a black jazz film, but was asked to "paint his face darker" to cater to stereotypes.

After that, the fate of the five people turned sharply. James McKay, a gangster with strange voice and abnormal behavior in Los Angeles, suddenly intervened because of the gambling debt owed by Nellie, interrupting Manny's beautiful life, and the film also entered a dark atmosphere at this time. The golden age of Hollywood seems to be disappearing here.

Those who once left their names in the history of movies were also abandoned by history in the pain of change and forgotten by the world under the flow of time.
