Amidst all the confusion and desperation of the characters, he succeeds to present his very own sort of cinema that we love.Bikas Mishrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09081969124434919196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15022129.post-1162042948510608572006-10-28T06:42:00.000-07:002006-10-28T06:42:00.000-07:00I saw a screening of Babel with an enthusiastic invited audience. I was engaged by the film right away with it's technique and quickly built tensions. But soon, I felt betrayed by the pretentions of the film, and it lost me emotionally. There is a lot of summing up of characters at the end after a fairly long leasurly build up. I thought all the performances where fine, but it bothers me that we don't know why Brad Pitts character leaves his family, or what the Japanese girl writes in the note, or don't follow the rest of the plight of the kids in the desert(oh, they where found) And wouldn't an illegal alien think twice about going to Mexico without a pass and with 2 white, white children after 16 years?opinionatedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10245327800172499123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15022129.post-1151917004709149412006-07-03T01:56:00.000-07:002006-07-03T01:56:00.000-07:00Thanks for a very thoughtful and impressive review about "Babel".<BR/><BR/>May I offer one correction about your review?<BR/><BR/>The name of the Japanese actress who plays a young girl that is deaf and mute is RINKO KIKUCHI, not Koji Yakusho. Koji Yakusho plays her father.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15022129.post-1151115906110995352006-06-23T19:25:00.000-07:002006-06-23T19:25:00.000-07:00yep, i love alejandro`s movies, im mexican so im proud of him, i like brat too<BR/>this movie rocksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15022129.post-1151030718829811112006-06-22T19:45:00.000-07:002006-06-22T19:45:00.000-07:00Yeah, thanks for whetting my appetite. I was going to see it no matter what, but now I'm quite excited. I'm so pleased for Brad Pitt. It's time for him to rise above the pretty face label. Now he can finally showcase his acting chops.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15022129.post-1150079370957306452006-06-11T19:29:00.000-07:002006-06-11T19:29:00.000-07:00I'm a big fan of Inaritu, so this sounds great.
