Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

adonis98-743-186503 Tragedy strikes a married couple on vacation in the Moroccan desert, touching off an interlocking story involving four different families. Babel benefits from excellent perfomances by both Cate Blanchett but also Brad Pitt, the rest of the 3 stories although quite entertaining as well i'll say they weren't as good as the main one with Pitt and Blanchett. The film is very well directed and shot for sure and it packs emotion and drama quite well although it's far from being a masterpiece of it's own for sure. Definitely check it out tho it's quite good. (7/10)

mr_diken Among the movies I've ever seen (>1K), this is the best one on prejudices. The movie from which on I began to respect Brad Pitt as an actor.

Nadeeshan Tennage (nadeeshantennage) 'Babel' is an authentic portrayal of the depletion of humanity and the terrible negligence of basic human values. The narrative of the movie moves along a spectrum of extreme emotional depth and execution of the the underlying morals in a deeply disturbing turn of events. The plot follows an accident faced by an American tourist which leads upto the unfolding of 3 different narratives which depicts 3 diffrent scenarios surrounding 3 different communities. Director Alejandro González Iñárritu masterfully manages to create the link between the 3 different scenarios by layering the thread of linking the narratives by giving the audiences to view the plot from 3 different scopes each which leads up to the scenarios depicted under each sub plot. The most amazing aspect of this is that the director has managed to layer the sub plots with abundant suspense all throughout the movie and rigorously emotional acting performances. Rinko Kikuchi who plays a young deaf Japanese girl creates maximum impact by coating the performance with enough emotional intensity and a marvelously convincing performance. Her pain of being treated differently is reflected through her glowing eyes in almost every scene she's in. Adriana Barraza's performance is no different and would make you reevaluate the core values a human should possess. The only negative aspect about the film that I witnessed are its confusing timelines surrounding the sub plots and the link between them leading up to the disturbing key event. The film would wreck you emotionally and disturb you to your heart's core which is exactly why you must see this film.

anonymouse9999 Babel is essentially one condescending scene after another. In theory it sounds ideal; there are many characters all intertwined by the same depressing event. But the film does nothing to justify any of this. In the world of Babel parents lack any common sense and give loaded weapons and ammunition to their children to go play without supervision. Lets suspend our disbelief that the children are stupid enough to shoot at a bus for target practice. So the police are immediately searching for the shooters and one cop picks up some pebbles on the ground so they know they are from the middle of nowhere. The cops don't hesitate to assault civilians while interrogating them. They also think its OK to kick someone hard enough to break the persons ribs to extract some information. But when they see our child shooters they tell them not to walk between the graves. Apparently they only care about the people they are sworn to serve and protect if they freaking die!! Then they roll up on some unarmed civilians and right away they start shooting at them without even knowing who they really are and kill a boy in the process. But its alright they can simply explain later that it was a big misunderstanding! Our beautiful American tourist is shot and its all over the international news despite the fact that they are in a remote village with no members of the press to be seen. And the anxious husband decides to pull in to a village because he thinks there is a good doctor only to find a veterinarian with dirty hands attempting to stick a rusty needle in his wife's bloody arm. He is not compelled to get back on the bus but instead enables the torment and then acts like a maniac when the passengers curse him and threaten to leave him! Need i say more? I think you get the idea!
