Hmm... Went to the cinema for Babel @ PS last nite.
Babel:
According to the Bible, this was a city located in Shinar, where mankind attempted to build a great tower to reach heavens. This angered God, making each person speak a different language, causing the project to fall thru Confusion, disconnecting ppl to scatter all over the world.
The movie build on this concept and 4 stories in different parts of the globe were derived and interconnected.
Richard and Susan are tourists in Morocco in Rich's bid to save an estranged marriage. Susan is shot by alleged terrorists. Rich desperately seek help in and out, but to avail. Political and Diplomatic issues between nations surround this hapless couple, leaving Susan dying.
The alleged terrorists turns out to be young goatherds trying out the new rifle. fearing for their lives, they have to run from the ruthless Morocco police.
Rich and Susan's children are taken care by a nanny. this 3rd story tells the adventure of theirs stranded in the US-Mexico Borders after a wedding dinner in Mexico.
Last, deaf-mute Chieko (played by Rinko Kikuchi) is struggling with the sudden death of her mother. being alienated from the general youths, it tells the story of Chieko who try too hard to attract attention, and most importantly, to feel being wanted.
The centre of attraction of this 2.5hrs movie is bound on the 26-year-old Japan actress. her acts as Chieko are awesome and daring. tells us how it feel to be misunderstood and alienated.
Critically Acclaimed..... No Doubt.
