Review of Babel (2006) by Nick D — 06 Oct 2018
Loved this movie. The four interlocking stories. I think the Mexican nanny story was the most tense in the movie particular on the ill fated return from the wedding in Mexico and after events. Mexico is always depicted in movies as a nightmare, everytime.
The Japanese story was very sad, the girl playing the deaf/mute school girl struggling to recover from the suicide of her mother who was mid 20s at the time of shooting was emotionally amazing. The Moroccan scenes with the cultural differences the boys shooting at the bus and wounding critically Cate Blanchett were tense and brilliantly filmed and acted.
Through political red tape and delays Cate nearly died . Very absorbing movie and the running time just flew by. All stories are inter-related and all the actions have consequences. Super movie.
