Witnessing this in theaters with the speakers blasting the soundtrack was an otherworldly experience.

[nathanboatright]

Watching this scene in the theater was one of the best theater experiences I've ever had

[christianzafiroglu]

After three hours, this montage hits and I was floored. It comes out of nowhere and practically tears the concept of cinema apart. I’ve never seen anything like it. It caps the film perfectly.

[colewelch]

I remember someone saying that Babylon could be viewed as a love letter to cinema, or a suicide note. And that’s a hell of a feeling to create in a viewer

[apenaseu]

In 10 or 20 years this film is gonna be a classic

The flashing colors are representative of how many silent film reels have degraded beyond saving; the tragedy that these people, these characters, were not immortalized after all. They were lost to time.

[Jhanneditor]

As a cinema student, this was my best theater experience for now

[enigmaticfacts]

idk how damien recovered after this film banged. He provided cinema with the love he has for cinema and no one went to see, a person literally tries to transform an industry but ignored by both critics and audience is highest form of disrespect a true cinema lover can get. ofc we can technically blame this on poor marketing but still....

[kaustavsanyal]

The chemical reactions in the montage, depicts the nitrate-detoriation of the film-chemicals of silent era films. According to Martin Scorsese 90% of silent films have completely gone. They are not recoverable anymore. That's why he took the initiative to restore old films in digital 4K.

What the film does is, that it shows nelli laRoy and brad pitt are being damaged & vanishing from cinema forever (through various red-blue-green phases of decomposition).

This is an incredibly sad scene. More so, because jean smart's character at one point in the film, tell brad, even though his career was over, that he will live forever through his silent films.
But that is not the case. His films are now lost forever.

I cried in the cinema when this played. As a film studies/making graduate, and a true lover of cinema obsessively since childhood, I was simply overwhelmed by the montage showcasing the early beginnings of moving pictures to the grandure of modern cinema, all backed up by the incredible soundtrack emanating from the speaker system. I was just blown away. Cinema is for me an escape and my first love. Its the way i bonded with my dad as a child. We both love scifi movies and horror. I watched so many classic scifi's and horrors with him long before I should have been allowed to, as well as westerns and mid century action flicks. I seen this film alone for that reason. I knew this was a film I had to see by myself to fully connect. It was so powerful. Critics and viewers were harsh on it, but I can already tell that this film with grow to be a classic. Critics will give it more love as it ages. It will be studied by students a generation from now too. This was a love letter to the industry and to cinema enthusiasts. I feel it reflected so much back to us, the viewer. I was trying to hide the fact I was weeping, yet by the end I was smiling. I felt what Manny experiences as he rediscovered his love for film in that 1950s movie theatre. I was crying in a 2020s Irish movie theatre blown away by what I seen. One of the most beautiful experiences I've ever had in a cinema, one that will stay with me for the rest of my life. This movie warmed my heart, broke it and warmed it all over again.

Best 4th wall breaker ever.
The character didn't break the 4th wall, cinema itself did in this scene.

[Ivosferatus]

I literally couldn't stop smiling when I watched this scene for the first time in theaters. The evolution of cinema going along with the crazy music is just pure art.

[Koopabonga]

This why I love that kind of montage : no matter the genre, no matter the movies quality... We are all cinema's lovers

[giuseppefontana]

How tf is it possibile that justin hurwitz didn't win the oscar, the soundtrack of this film is a masterpiece

[FernandoRodriguez-lkrw]

one of the most jaw-dropping scenes that i've ever seen

[jstnshea]

This was so fascinating when I watched this scene for the first time, knowing that how many films have been made in the past century and how there have been so many people then, now, and later who will pour their heart and soul into something. Then all of that will eventually become a part of something bigger that we can't begin to comprehend!

[masterzombie]

This ending means two things and is honestly horrifying. Yes the sound in cinema changed things and it has become bigger than anyone could possibly even imagine.

However it’s led to constant misery, pain, destruction, and even can lead people into changing their entire view on life in an instant. While it can give the people making the movie a sense of fame and glory, it ultimately doesn’t mean anything in the next few years when something else comes along.


All that blood, sweat, and tears and it’s another dvd in a bargain bin for 4.99.

[joelmole]

I can make a comparison to La La Land’s ending as while La La Land’s ending sequence is a dream, Babylon’s ending sequence is a nightmare.

Seriously, this scene shook me.

[agenttheater]

People who like this movie and this end sequence might enjoy the documentary series 'The Story of Film: An Odyssey', a 2011 British series with 15 episodes covering the entire history of movies from 1888 to 2010. Talks a lot about how movies have changed over times, and the heartbreak as well as the joy that comes from the movie making industry.
