Babel

Went to see Babel yesterday. Gosh darn it, I should know better than to go see Alejandro Iñarritu movies. They are not bad, you see, but they are uncomfortable from beginning to end. The characters undergo such traumatic and embarassing situations which make me want to stop watching... but I can't. You get sucked into the stories. Babel takes you from the Morocco hillsides, to the urban chaos of Tokio. As the title suggests, lack of communication is one of the main themes. Truly a very interesting pic. Go see it.
