London - The Modern Babylon (2012) - trailer

London - The Modern Babylon is legendary director Julien Temple's epic time-travelling voyage to the heart of his hometown.

From musicians, writers and artists to dangerous thinkers, political radicals and above all ordinary people, this is the story of London's immigrants, its bohemians and how together they changed the city forever. Reaching back to London at the start of the 20th century, the story unfolds through film archive and the voices of Londoners past and present, powered by the popular music across the century. It ends now, as London prepares to welcome the world to the 2012 Olympics.

in China we study the middle east history as an ancient civilizations  and the weastern history as a modern civilization

Where are Babylon today???

[ptbwf]

you are an idiot.

Babylon was a white nation that became a cesspool from globalization.

[ptbwf]

Do you idiots not understand that the story of Babylon is a ANTI multicultural Biblical story?

By admitting London is the modern Babylon you have admitted that London is nothing but a cesspool

[enigmaticcheers]

i feel sick when the west trying to imitate the ancient east civilizations ,

it seems they forget that they were barbarian and uncivilized nation until the light of east came to them

and they learned from the Egyptian , Babylon ,Persia ,Arabian and kingdom of Sheba civilizations all the Semitic civilizations they had studied and after that they call themselves civilized people

hahahahahahah but the Arab spring revolutions is back and East will raise again

great self promotion there - (footage of a cinema with advertising hoarding for his film: "the great rock'n'roll swindle"! Still if it keeps him from making nostalgic films for 1970's rock bands we should (perhaps) be grateful.
