Movies

I watched “Babel” recently. The arrangement of this movie is unique. There are four stories seem independent, but at last you can find they related with each other. Excepting arrangement, the stories are not excellent. Even more, there are many places seem irrational. However, I like this movie, although my friend said this movie seems plagiarize the creation of “Crash”.

“Bible” was directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu. The main actor is Brad Pitt, and the main actress is Cate Blanchett. The stories of this film took place in four countries. It includes Morocco, Japan, Mexico and U.S. It was nominated for seven Academy Awards, and won one for Best Original Score. This movie narrates four miserable stories about two children and their babysitter, a couple, a Japanese girl and two Arabic boys. They speak their own languages, and they encounter different difficulties.

The couple is two children’s parents. They go out to Morocco and leave their children to babysitter. In their journey, the wife is shot by two Arabic boys. Meanwhile, their babysitter’s son is getting married. She brings two children to Mexico without this couple’s agreement, and they cannot come back to U.S. The wired Japanese girl’s father once went to Morocco and took a picture with these two Arabic boys. This strange relationship is a clue throughout the film. This skill made this film unique.

I felt shock when I watched the plot of the Japanese girl. She is an inferiority girl because of her deaf. She is eccentric, and she always bares her body to lure other men in order to prove her value. I feel sad and pity for her. Besides, I don’t know what the certain relationship between this plot and the whole film is. After I watched this film, I signed and felt confused.

Babel is originally from the Bible. It means God is anger with the arrogant of people, and punish them to speak different language in order to made them cannot comprehend each other. In this film, they speak different languages without displaying caption. I think this movie indeed is a Babel that publishes us cannot understand it really! If you have free time and you are interest in it, you can watch it and experience different style.
