Would love to see Craig in more villain roles. He was so good in road to perdition

Upbeat_Tension_8077 Mar 27, 2026 +3

If he can be a mix of his personality from that with a little inspiration from JK Simmons in Whiplash, his performance in this should be fire

there's an impostor among the movies you mentioned

Fresnobing Mar 27, 2026 +3

I mean thats because they were shooting for the sky. I think its lame we heap extra judgement on that rather than only criticizing a film on what it ended up as. Like road to perdition is a decent quality film that was aiming to be a great film and missed by a solid margin. Didnt have the juice as they say. But because it dared try there’s a lot of people who would write it off as of it was terrible and it isnt that. (Not saying you are doing this, but acknowledging the overall phenomenon)

This isn't the first time you've done this. But every time you try to sneak in The Batman with absolute classics it gives me a good hearty laugh.

It’s a great movie imo. Not on the level of some of those you mentioned but miles better than the Batman which dragged on forever.

KlutzyInvestments Mar 27, 2026 +4

Do you know any more about the plot than the article? If they’re playing British/Anglo opposites, awesome! But not so convincing if they’re supposed to be some Adriatic ethnicity. I get that Greece is probably the cheapest and most beautiful windswept crag prison landscape. I just can’t easily find if it’s supposed to be set in our universe during/post-WWII Greece, a completely original story using 1940s themes, or something in between.

Bunraku_Master_2021 Mar 28, 2026 +1

I knew I wasn't the only one to recognize the Cool Hand Luke similarity. The plot has some familiarity with Beau Travail (1999) given that it's a psychological duel between a French Foreign Legion officer and his team's new recruit while stationed in the Gulf of Djibouti while Chazelle's film is supossed to be some psychological power play between an authority figure and a rebel. So, except a gripping prison drama while also being a deconstructive power play of masculinity and power systems.

Glad Murphy is working with another good director. He doesn't get enough leading or major supporting roles

BluRayja Mar 28, 2026 +1

Wondering how he's gonna force jazz into this one. In all seriousness, there is a certain lane that Damien operates best in, when looking at the similarities between Whiplash and La La Land, that I can't quite put my finger on that this feels like another First Man or Babylon misfire. Maybe it's my mind thinking something as simple as period piece vs. modern, but this feels like a make or break piece for him, so the pressure is on.

i think Chazelle is kind of a hack, so I have pretty low expectations. His films all feel like green book core Oscar fodder to me

ChiefLeef22 Mar 27, 2026 +26

Now *that's* a hot take it if I've ever seen one lol. I get this for something like Babylon I guess. But Whiplash, First Man and La La Land are just incredibly directed films period

26

TripleSingleHOF Mar 27, 2026 +11

Babylon is insane, I think that's the best job he's done directing a movie. Some of those scenes in that flick were very impressive. It's a movie that's really only for cinephiles, but the movie looks incredible, if nothing else.

11

rockandrollzomby Mar 27, 2026 -10

y’all Babylon boys are tripping. That film is a wreck

Holy shit you're insufferable. I don't even like Chazelle all that much, genius.

rockandrollzomby Mar 27, 2026 -13

I disagree. I think they’re very safe, style over substance studio films with nothing to really say. He plays for the middle and avoids anything that is truly controversial, and that’s why he gets to big studio bucks.

-13

Zestyclose_Ad_5815 Mar 27, 2026 +15

Imagine calling Whiplash a studio film. Imagine calling First Man style over substance.

blucthulhu Mar 27, 2026 +2

Yeah, it's certainly an opinion. Takes all kinds.

Bold Films, Blumhouse Productions, and Right of Way Films produced the film. Sony Pictures Classics bought distribution rights.

rockandrollzomby Mar 27, 2026 +1

It was a 3.3 million dollar film and the finance behind it bet hard that it would get picked up by a big gun, and they were right.

AcreaRising4 Mar 27, 2026 +14

that is one of the most insane things I’ve read in a while. There’s nothing safe about Babylon. Hell, anyone who creates a film like whiplash is obviously talented.

I wouldn't call him a hack but he certainly isn't great in my opinion. La La Land is fine and so is Whiplash but they aren't films that I go back to. I don't get the GOAT discussion that surrounds him.

-5

rockandrollzomby Mar 27, 2026 -5

he’s a film bro fave. His films are great if you only watch big giant American Hollywood stuff like super hero and Nolan, but there are so many directors that does what he does significantly better

FearlessFerret7611 Mar 27, 2026 +2

You seem to think that if somebody likes "American Hollywood" movies then that's all they like. It's the stance of a teenage edgelord contrarian and is pretty pathetic and insufferable. Strong film-snob vibes. You do realize that people can like multiple styles and genres, right? I like Chazelle. I also watch a ton of lesser known foreign stuff. Does that still make me a "filmbro"?
