Don't waste your time

I looked forward to this movie as the reviews spoke of a great movie. Instead it was truly disappointing. It followed Murphy's law that if something can go wrong it does go wrong and it truly did. There was nothing harmonious in it as it jumped from Marocco, to Mexico, to Japan in a disjointed fashion with lots of jump in time as well. The director just tried to do too much and it didn't work. The acting was nothing to speak about either. Nope, you can skip this one.
No Comment.

I saw this and it was terrible, yes it won an Oscar and so on. However the plot is completely terrible. Me and my friends saw it in the Cinema, one fell asleep, the other was driven to insanity and i was left helpless to view such a terrible film.
You may say I'm being bias, however i did watch the film again and that still showed me how bad this film really is.
This film was credited for following three plot lines successfully, however this just caused the film to drag on. The film contains disturbing behavior (I mean that) And just filth...
I have seen allot, and i mean allot of films in my life, but this by far is the worst.

A Shepard in Morocco barters for a rifle and gives it to his two boys to guard the sheep. When the boys decide too try it out, they strike a passing tourist bus. Unfortunately, the bullet strikes a vacationing American woman in the middle of nowhere. The bus driver convinces them that it would be best to go to his small village which is nearby with the claim the village has a doctor. Unable to be transported any further, the woman and her husband are dropped off in this very remote village, to await help. Blanchett gives a stunning performance as the critically wounded wife, and Pitt is her anguished husband, as they rediscover their love under duress.
This shooting triggers off events in other people's lives across the world. We go to a troubled, deaf Japanese girl who causes a commotion, and the American couple's nanny does not wish to miss her son's wedding, and attempts to bring the children into Mexico with her without any thoughts of the possible ramifications. To explain any more details of 'Babel' would spoil your viewing experience.
This movie shows some of the consequences of the Tower of Babel in today's world. That even though today you can talk to someone across the world, it does not mean you can communicate with them. That language is still a barrier and our frame of reference is formed by our cultures where we are raised. I recommend that you rent or check this movie out from your local library. Note there are some sexually explicit scenes that were pretty much unnecessary for this melodrama.
Blu-ray + PS3 = hard to beat

I watched this movie in the cinema. In plain film language, it sure is one(or three) of the most powerful stories I've ever sat. I chose its BD edition cos I believe Blu-ray together with the price-dumping PS3 consoles will storm the world like-no-other(literally as they advertise). A great movie to keep in HD format for my children.
