Hidden Secrets of Hollywood
Orgies in the 2022 film “Babylon”: Reality or Fiction?
Introduction
The film “Babel” directed by Damien Chazelle causes a lot of controversy and discussion. This feature film not only shows fascinating stories from the world of old Hollywood, but also emphasizes that popular art can reflect reality more honestly than is commonly believed.
Historical context and analysis of the film
“Babel” depicts Hollywood in the 1920s, a time of rapid growth in the film industry, accompanied not only by professional triumphs, but also by personal scandals. The scenes of orgies and crazy parties in the film are not just visual tricks, but a reflection of real events. This time was an era of great social change and experimentation, where the boundaries of morality and behavior were often blurred.
One of the most memorable scenes in the film is a large-scale orgy in which dozens of people participate. Historical sources confirm that such events were not uncommon in celebrity circles, where luxury and permissiveness often escalated into chaos and madness.
The party is attended by numerous guests including actors, producers and other industry influencers. Groups of people engage in sexual acts in different parts of the house, including main rooms and more private areas.
Explicit scenes feature naked participants in a variety of positions and situations, including group sex, lesbian and gay encounters. In some episodes you can see the use of various sexual toys and devices. Drugs and alcohol circulate freely among guests.
The elephant, which at first is an object of admiration and a symbol of greatness, later becomes a tool to distract the attention of the guests when it is necessary to hide the dead body of the actress. It’s clearly visible here

Real examples of orgies involving celebrities
One of the most famous cases is the orgy with the participation of actor Fatty Arbuckle. Arbuckle’s most famous party, which led to scandal, took place on September 5, 1921, in room 1219 of the St. Francis. The famous actor found himself at the center of a major scandal that revolved around a party where acts of sexual violence allegedly occurred against actress Virginia Rapp. Although he was acquitted, his career was ruined and the case brought much attention to the morals of Hollywood at the time.
It is also worth mentioning Orsen Welles, whose parties were famous for their eccentricity and freedom of morals. Many of Orson Welles’ parties took place at his home in the Hollywood Hills. This house was a meeting place for many famous personalities of that time.
Welles was also a frequent guest at parties hosted by William Randolph Hearst at his famous Hearst Castle in San Simeon, California.
One such party in the 1940s was attended by more than 100 people, and many of the participants later spoke of the unbridled atmosphere that reigned there.
Conclusion
The film “Babylon” (2022) not only vividly and boldly shows the audience the wild orgies and parties of old Hollywood, but also emphasizes that these events were part of the reality of the time.
