Babel


This one is the third in Iñárritu's trilogy on death. Similar to the previous two movies (21 grams, Amores perros), this one too looks at multiple lives, coping with death and have something in common.

If you are looking for a good time this weekend give this one a moss. However, if you want to watch a GOOD movie, this one is for you. Will definitely make more sense to people who have actually lost someone close to them. Anyway, the movie is depressing in parts. Some scenes are brilliant like the one in which the deaf Japanese girl is in a disco, trying to fit in. If you are not used to watching a movie with subtitles then this on might be a bit disconcerting as English forms a very small part of the dialogues. I liked it and would recommend this one.

You know, I wasn't aware that Babel had subtitles! The version I saw was without subtitles and the little Japanese I know didn't help! :D
Good movie and yeah, I liked the Tokyo disco scene, very gripping!

And add some more reviews, maccha! I maintain(if you can call it that) only one blog and all my reviews, posts,etc are on it.
