Babel

A very deep movie with underlying theme: Pain is universal, and Human beings is very fragile...What I like so much about this movie (no wonder it's nominated Best Picture, & many other awards), is how the director shoots the movie from 4 different locations in the World. We have Marocco, US, Mexico, & Japan ; each with their own teams of production. And each country, with its own story,...all finally seems to have a beautifully-depicted underlying theme, that Pain is universal in this Planet & life, regardless of the distance, status, wealth, & race.

Also we can learn a lot from this movie about many other's interesting daily-life cultures, aside from US only (US audience most probably would find this movie very interesting, to understand better 'bout OTHER cultures, outside their country. And also send them messages that "they are NOT the only country in this whole world! open ur eyes!").

Especially very eye-catching & interesting for me, is the 'abstract', musical & endless-varieties culture on Japan. And this is told, ironically, from a deaf-mute girl in this Modern & sophisticated country. Even she HAS problems, in this advanced country!

The music , consisting mainly of one-guitar piece, just adds the intensity & can make us reflect & ponder more....about this Human-Life & its barriers. If there's one thing we can learn from this movie, is that: Human beings is very fragile. There's no need to be proud of ourselves...
