Warning: This article contains major spoilers for Babylon.
The ending to Damien Chazelle's Babylon has proved incredibly divisive with audiences. Starring Margot Robbie, Brad Pitt, Jovan Adepo, and Diego Calva, Babylon centers on the rise and fall of four characters in Hollywood in the 1920s-30s as the film industry evolves into the sound era. In stark contrast to his sophomore film, La La Land, an almost hagiographic musical about filmmaking and jazz, Damien Chazelle's Babylon explores the seedy underbelly of Hollywood. It chronicles the sheer levels of exploitation that many film studios relied on to make their films at the pace and budget they wanted. Babylon also exposes the racism that abounded behind the scenes of these productions.
Contrary to the rest of the film's content and themes, the experimental montage that takes place at the end of Babylon can be interpreted as presenting some far more hopeful ideas.
