Babylondirected by Damien Chazelle and starring Margot Robbie. one of the biggest box office flops of the year. And this is despite an amazing production and a great cast, which also includes Brad Pitt D Tobey Maguire. Until recently considered a must-have on next year’s Oscars list, it turned out to be Disappointment. In addition, the second project, which is headed by Robbie and which eventually sinks into a sea of criticism and public indifference.
This is despite the fact that in several scenes of the film, Nelly LaRoy, played by the translator, is the absolute star of the episode. The actress shines with her charm and talent, reminiscent of the greats of Hollywood’s golden age. This, without a doubt, is the director’s intention. Movie Creature Chazelle is pure talent. Nellie sings, dances, cries, laughs and finally the stars in her precipitous fall into the heat of greed as the camera gazes into her face spellbound.
Without hiding its intention to reflect on the dark joy of temptation, the script follows the evolution of this woman who embodies everything asterisks from the movie mecca of the 1920s to its final aftermath. Chazelle’s film is tinsel and artificial glitter, a painful melodrama – another one – about the film industry, its poverty and gloom.
But the film of the self-proclaimed king of the new musical fails. The plot wants to show suffering through Hollywood as a voracious monster capable of devouring its most recognizable faces. But lacks elegance, a degree of sophistication to match his ambition. And one more thing: a script that better understands its central star.
Babylon
Babylon, directed by Damien Chazelle and starring actress Margot Robbie, was one of the biggest box office flops of the year. This is the second project that Robbie is leading, and which eventually sinks into a sea of criticism and indifference from the public.
That even though there are several scenes in the film, Nellie Laroy, played by the translator, is the absolute star of the episode. The actress shines with her charm and talent, reminiscent of the greats of Hollywood’s golden age. This, without a doubt, is the director’s intention. Movie Creature Chazelle is pure talent. Nellie sings, dances, cries, laughs and finally the stars in her precipitous fall into the heat of greed as the camera gazes into her face spellbound. Why did the movie fail so spectacularly?
Brilliance, amazement, and an unsatisfactory premise: failure Babylon
Again, Margot Robbie is a mysterious character. in a story written to his greatest glory. Babylon You want to explore different aspects of Hollywood. From the world of actors and actresses, to evil producers. The film is about the insecurity of fame.
So, Chazelle demands that her actress be a point of power. Whatever that means. But Robbie can’t carry the project on his shoulders.. Not because his acting isn’t flawless or his charisma is blinding, but because of something a little more clumsy. Babylon success depends almost entirely on the interpreter as figure. Without any other shortcomings, such as a compelling story or the ability to properly delve into its main themes. Instead, he chose an actress who embodied the virtues and misadventures of his story.
as in bad luck Amsterdam David O. Russell, Robbie Babylon a mysterious figure, the center of gravity around which the rest of the actors revolve. Only this time, it’s more obvious that Chazelle was in many ways envisioning a direct relationship with Robbie. In the end, her figure seems to be crushed by excessive weight. empty dispute claims.
What causes such an effect? Blaming the actress is, of course, unnecessary and unfair. But in fact, it seems that Hollywood needs to take the analysis of their suffering to another level and dimension. Also use the symbol woman to tell her current story.
The industry, severely affected after two years of mandatory shutdown, in 2022 showed its best weapon, all its tools. One of them was a return to big productions with huge budgets, AAA-listed casts and plots made for easy tears or immediate astonishment.
Another failure in a string of failures Margot Robbie
In an unfortunate coincidence, Margot Robbie starred in two unsuccessful productions that show how worn out the traditional film formula is. Blending popular faces with a dramatic story meant to be a window dressing seemed like a sure way to wow an audience. But after the pandemic, things are not so simple.
Two years of mandatory break made the public more demanding, but also more aware of the cinematic experience. Technological marvels such as Avatar 2: Water Sense They delight and disappoint at the same time. Clear sky Top Shooter: Maverick they reminded viewers of simpler and kinder times. On the contrary, pompous Amsterdamupset.
now he did Babylon, with its reflection of an idealized Hollywood unimaginable for this hypercommunicative age. There is a common thread between the two stories. The need for a brilliant central figure that catches all eyes. Robbie maybe. But so far the experiment has failed.
An extraordinary actress in the midst of the limits of her amazing beauty
Margot Robbie is one of the greatest actresses of her generation. It may seem like a phrase cliche that, however, this time they protect him with all their might. Robbie is not only talented, versatile, brilliant as a producer and intuitive as a versatile artist. She has also been nominated for two Oscars and is a solid figure in Hollywood, which is in dire need of them.
His career, at least initially, was very similar to that of other great personalities who became solid totems of prestige in Hollywood. Like Charlize Theron and Cate Blanchett, Margot started with bit parts. until me, Tonya Craig Gillespie showed all his audacity and character.
Playing one of the most infamous sports figures in modern American history has taken her to new heights. In addition, he demonstrated his undeniable chameleon abilities. Meanwhile, the actress has dared to move from animated films to superheroes and dramas. All with the same charm and the same skill.
But Margot Robbie, at least by Hollywood standards, Not part of your royal family yet. Not on the same level as Blanchett, who starred in Tar (2022) to show that his career is becoming as solid as his magnificent maturity.
She also lacks the elegance of Julia Roberts or Amy Adams. Margot Robbie is still too young to reach Nicole Kidman’s threshold. At the same time, she is far from the role of a fragile nymph with a peculiar background of Anya Taylor-Joy. So the actress is still looking for her place. Also, make smart decisions.
In 2014 he started producing his own films with LuckyChap Entertainment, which is considered one of the best production companies in Hollywood. So the actress carefully builds her career. He ties this together to a good pulse and has enough common sense to know what he needs to triumph more. Therefore, his decisions in small roles, cameos, vocal talent, author’s productions.
Margot Robbie and Little Disasters
However, it is the Hollywood machine that pushes Robbie into productions whose main source of existence is his presence. Amsterdam it featured some of the best actors in the industry, and the scripted drama film’s budget was unheard of. But, again, the actress was the essential point. For the occasion, she will play the muse, the unforgettable face at the center of a delightful and tender romance that celebrates the goodness of hope. But the feature film fell far short of expectations, both in terms of quality, box office, and critics.
Margot Robbie found herself at the center of two major flops. The actress seems to be an element that the industry is trying to use to remember the brilliance she no longer possesses. For this reason, the catastrophe of two productions designed to show the muscles of Hollywood is so inconvenient for us. At the same time, they show that Robbie is a fragile part of a much larger game. What does it take to find your place? Perhaps follow your gut in front of the ambitions of an industry that is tapping into its valuable potential.
