At the same time, she also said in a blog interview that she wanted to know whether the audience would be surprised that the movie was a box office hit in 20 years, and used the classic movie "The Shawshank Redemption" as a metaphor.

"Babylon", which will be released in 2022, is directed by Damien Chazelle. He has previously been nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture with the 2014 " Breaking Drummer " and won the Oscar for the 2016 " La La Land " Oscar for Best Director.

Before the film was released, it could be said that It had high hopes from the outside world and was expected to be a great success at the box office and award ceremonies. However, in the end, the film became the most failed film in Hollywood that year.

Damien Chazelle used an extremely gorgeous style to tell the audience about the prosperity and decadence of Hollywood in the 1920s.

In fact, many movies had it. It won the best film of the year.

The current gap between the two films is that "The Shawshank Redemption" has withstood the test of time and can almost be said to be recognized by fans around the world as one of the most classic films in film history. As for "Babylon", perhaps time will eventually be able to verify this. Can this gorgeous movie also become a classic in film history?
