BABEL (Alejandro González Iñárritu, 2006)



How to define this movie? As a weird one, alien, interesting, attractive... It presents different stories of very different people who in fact have different nationalities and languages or even ways of comunication, one of the girls is actually deaf and mute. All of these people are interconnected for one or another reason but at the same time there is a big distance between them, which is the language.

The title Babel is really well selected in my opinion because this movie deals, in a way, with the communication between people of different languages as well as the things people from different races can have in common or in contrast.

I have not found this movie especially easy to understand because it mixs several stories which at the end are parts of the same story but at the beginning is not easy to link the different cuts between one story and the other. Anyway, I consider this movie quite interesting because it shows how difficult the life can be for people and it does not matter whether these people are rich, poor, American, Arabe or Mexican, deaf, mute, both or none.

Here I leave you the trailer for you to enjoy it:
