I thought Tobey was Charlie Chaplin?

Correct me if I’m wrong but I think they’re all versions of real people, but names changed and such so they can go in any direction they want and not get the Twitter mob on them.
I wonder if David O. Russell is releasing his giant ensamble movie too soon.
Isn't that most of his filmography? Can't say I'm surprised there.That cast alone won't save that ship. Early tea on the script ain't good, fam. We shall see, as he likes to rewrite everything, but it felt like a bad Coen Bros movie wannabe. I will still watch it of course. Margot with dark hair is my jam.
In a weak year, maybe? But I can't see the Academy going for him now, especially since he won so recently, so there's no pressure to "give him his due." Look how fast Franco dropped out of consideration a few years back when news of his predatory actions broke. They ain't about to pull another Affleck.Margot and Pitt have the best roles. Pitt will be hard to ignore for them award noms, even with folks trying to cancel him. He'd be supporting, but with his charm and coolness/charisma, especially his last scene, so much damn bait.
I don't really get the reasoning here - Like, is he trying to do a Tarantino-style "re-imagining" of history? Why else change the names? Doesn't make sense.Correct me if I’m wrong but I think they’re all versions of real people, but names changed and such so they can go in any direction they want and not get the Twitter mob on them.

Not everything needs to have substance if it’s fun and the style is great. But Chazelle’s last 3 all had substance no matter the genre so it wouldn’t surprise if Babylon is the same.I’m getting Lurhmann Elvis vibes. I hope this won’t be all style and no substance.
