The filmic module doesn't try to match the base curve, at all. If you want to 
do that you'll have to manually set it to some fairly extreme settings. Even 
doing this, the colors will be different, partly because basecurve is before 
the input color profile in the pipeline, and tends to push colors to extremes, 
and partly because filmic is, in part, specifically built to avoid these 
unnatural saturation extremes. Hence even with similar curves, you might need 
to use additional color tools if you want to emulate what basecurve does (and 
in that case, you might want to just stick with basecurve).

Anyway, attached is a quick and dirty attempt to at least get the filmic curve 
into the same ballpark as the basecurve, as a place to *start* with a 
comparison, at least. :)
