About this product

Product Information

BABEL is the crowning achievement in the trilogy from the unstoppable creative pairing of screenwriter Guillermo Arriaga and director Alejandro Gonzalez Innaritu, which also includes AMORES PERROS (2000) and 21 GRAMS (2003). Building upon its predecessors' method of weaving together disparate storylines, BABEL reaches new heights of ambition with a tale that, in the absence of traditional narrative and protagonist, relies on numerous incredible performances to evoke an affecting relevance by framing contemporary issues in very human struggles and mistakes. Richard and Susan (Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett) are a wealthy couple from San Diego who are vacationing in Morocco in order to heal after the death of their young child; their other two children are at home with their Mexican maid, Amelia (Adriana Barraza). In a complex shift of ownership to which the audience is privy, a rifle finds its way into the hands of a local herdsman's young sons (Said Tarchani and Boubker Ait El Caid), who recklessly take a shot at a tour bus and catch Susan in the shoulder, causing her to nearly lose her life. The distraught Richard calls home to tell Amelia of the situation, who promptly departs for Mexico to attend her child's wedding, with Richard and Susan's children in tow. Disaster thus multiplies, with the situation in Morocco ascribed to terrorists in the media, while Amelia meets with the harsh immigration policies of the Bush administration. Meanwhile, in Tokyo, a widower (Koji Yakusho) tied to the rifle in question attempts to deal with his memories and his raucous, promiscuous, deaf daughter (Rinko Kikuchi).Nearly every performance of the film is devastating, offering an intimate, emotional experience that would approach melodrama if it weren't rendered so realistically. Cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto's color palette masterfully captures the muted tones of the harsh natural landscapes of Morocco and the Mexican border, as well as the fluorescent lights of Tokyo that denote another, though equally barren, end of the spectrum. The misunderstandings born of cultural, language, and class barriers are on par with those that occur between family members, depicting a world that, while connected in the least expected of ways, is also faced with a deep-seated crisis that threatens to alienate humanity from itself.

  • If You Thought 21g Was Slow...

    This movie is excellent training for people who are planning to switch to the night shift. Much coffee and plenty of trips to the bathroom to splash cold water on your face is about the only remedy for the stretching out of this story into the realm of the absurd. It's really about three twenty-minute stories somehow multiplied into a 2.5 hour yawnfest. If you were on the edge of your seat for the last movie you watched, you are likely to fall off as you drift asleep during the pointless, pointless fluff scenes that have no bearing on the plot of this film (e.g. the five minutes of people dancing to Mexican polka music during a wedding that could have been summed up in a ten second montage). And this is what kills me about the movie: the story is so damned good! If they could have ...

  • SPOILER ALERT

    OK, I slept on this one and overnight it lost a star. I can only give this two stars at the most. My biggest problem is that it is very hard to like anybody in the film. The only people I felt sorry for were the little kids and maybe the deaf mute Japanese girl but even she was annoying. I had no sympathy for the parents whatsoever. They are sitting there whining about losing a baby to SIDS and yet you find out that their kids were raised all the way through by their illegal nanny. So, they lose a kid and instead of getting closer to the two kids they do have they head to Africa? Idiotic. They deserved every little bit of suffering they got. What about the kids with the gun? Should I feel sorry for them and their parents? Not really. I don't care what culture you live in, if you have two ...

  • Babel

    The movie Babel was OK. It wasn't as great that I thought it was. Babel did win many awards but to me those awards were based on their actual performances while dividing the movie in 3 parts. I didn't like how they broke the movie up into 3 issues. I dicided to buy it because I heard great things about the film. The film was something different from other type of movies but on an over all bases the film wasn't too bad. It just wasn't my type of story line. Great acting from everyone in this film.

  • this is a nice movie and a must buy

    This is one of the best movie i have ever Sean i a long time this is a must see i give it 10/10 Nearly every performance of the film is devastating, offering an intimate, emotional experience that would approach melodrama if it weren’t rendered so realistically.

  • Visually assulting!

    A bit hard to follow all the plot lines as they flow though out the film. But they are all intertwined through Brad Pitt and Kate Blanchett story. Great acting, and taken apart all the short stories have alot of intersting characters and ideas. I enjoyed the film and would recomend it but it is not at all like the marketing of the movie would protray. This is not a Brad Pitt movie, its more an ensamble of stories that Brad Pitt holds as much or less screen time as Rinko Kikuchi.
