Movie Review – Babylon

Babylon, wow. WTF did I just see? It was a movie full of sensory overload, doubled-up debauchery, glitz, glamour and so much more. IMDB explained it as, “A tale of outsized ambition and outrageous excess, it traces the rise and fall of multiple characters during an era of unbridled decadence and depravity in early Hollywood.” Another way to put it that rings true is, “A depiction of early Hollywood, unhinged and full of mayhem.”

So the emotion behind this movie is undeniable. It was genuinely unsettling and thought-provoking. Last night I was so overloaded that I needed to think about it overnight. As I lay in bed it hit me that this was the era that my great-grandmother lived. I would be scandalized if she behaved the way they portrayed life back then. I think about her sitting by a fire knitting a blanket while she watched over the children, making dinner, and reading the kids to sleep. I can guarantee you small-town Oklahoma life was nothing like Hollywood. None of her stories came close to being as exciting as even the tamest scene of Babylon.

The acting was phenomenal. Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie were magnificent, both gave life to their characters in such a fashion that I felt their emotions. I felt their happiness, excitement, turmoil, and passion for the roles they played. It was truly a work of art. I hope some awards come their way, it’s definitely deserved.

I had one complaint and that was the length. It did feel a bit long but the more I thought about it, I couldn’t find scenes that could have been left out. It needed the length to produce the end result, which was pure perfection. Bravo Hollywood!

Grade: A++

About The Peetimes: I found 4 Peetimes that should work well for any emergency needs. They are spaced throughout the 3-hour runtime.

Single best investment

By and far best investment Ive made. I used to drive my husband nuts because Id be a fidgeting mess the last half hour of the movie trying not to miss important parts. Now I just turn this app on and *bam* I can actually focus on the movie the whole time. Even puts alerts to my watch so even better. Also I can guarentee all the 5 reviews arent fake as one person accused – its just that so many of us movie-goers had the same problem and this fixed it. Yes, it is paid but jeeze its expensive to keep watching movies and updating an app for every movie. And if you read more about the creator he mentions he has several people contributing – so yeah its paid but omg worth every cent. 10/10
