As an ardent fan of Margot Robbie, I find myself deeply moved by her recent reflections on the reception of Babylon. Much like how I feel about certain underappreciated masterpieces during their initial release (looking at you, “The Room” and “Troll 2”), it seems that this film may be destined for greatness in the eyes of future generations.
In more straightforward terms: Margot Robbie has spoken about her puzzlement over Babylon, a 2022 movie directed by Damien Chazelle, not doing well at the box office. She believes, much like Shawshank Redemption, it could be underrated now but valued in the future when more people see it.
The movie titled Babylon, featuring Robbie, Brad Pitt, Diego Calva, Jovan Adepo, Li Jun Li, and Jean Smart, generated a domestic revenue of 15 million USD and 63 million USD internationally. Despite having a production budget over 80 million USD, it garnered less recognition during awards season than anticipated, netting only three nominations at the 95th Academy Awards. In this film set in 1920s Hollywood, Robbie portrayed the character Nellie LaRoy, who is inspired by the real-life figure Clara Bow.
In a recent episode of Talking Pictures podcast, Robbie openly shared her disappointment over the reception of the movie she was involved with. Despite being emotionally invested in the project, Robbie had never anticipated such a negative response. She confessed, “I’m just as puzzled as everyone else. I understand I might be biased due to my close connection with the project and my faith in it, but I still can’t comprehend why people disliked it so much.
It’s possible that Babylon may not receive its due recognition for another twenty years, similar to Shawshank Redemption, which initially struggled at the box office but later gained acclaim when people began to understand its worth. The actress associated with Barbie mused, “I can’t help but wonder if in 20 years, people will look back and say, ‘Wait, Babylon didn’t do well at the time?’ Just as it’s hard to believe that Shawshank Redemption was once considered a failure.
As a devoted follower, let me share some insights about Robbie’s film starring Pitt. For those unfamiliar, it’s a grand production, backdropped by the vibrant cityscape of Los Angeles. In essence, it portrays the story of several aspiring individuals during the 1920s, as Hollywood undergoes a transformation from silent films to the era of sound movies. This journey is marked by decadence, immorality, and extravagance that ultimately leads to their rise and fall.
Initially, the film “Babylon” didn’t resonate with viewers when it was first released, but actress Margot Robbie continues to harbor hope that in due time, its true value will be recognized and appreciated by audiences worldwide. Currently, you can stream this movie on Netflix.
