BABEL

A single tale out of four disparate ones. Love for your family, country, culture all in one big movie. Different worlds meeting up at one point lack of communication. An incredible touching story One should watch. A ride all around the globe.

Richard (Brad Pitt) and Susan (Kate Blanchett) leave their two children in San Diego to spend some quality time in Morocco. Susan gets shot from the shoulder by a stray bullet coming from a Moroccan goat farmer son. The boy Yussef was testing out a new rifle that his dad bought in case a fox wants to eat the goats. Richard and Susan’s trip ruins by this as she almost dies while waiting to be transported to a hospital. They are in the middle of no where even the tourists group leaves them behind.

Meanwhile Richard and Susan’s Mexican housekeeper is the only one who can take care of their 2 children. But she has to go to Mexico since her son is about to get married. So the only way is to take them and go. They go through the border without any problem. But when the time comes to go back to America they face with some immigration problems. She has her drunken gun-toting nephew drive her across the border. So they escape. The nephew dumps them in the desert and leaves. Now 2 children and the housekeeper are in the middle of nowhere, a dessert that draws the borders.

A deaf Japanese teenage girl is going through her crazy teen problems. Clubs, drugs, drinks and the problem of having no mom to take care of her. She is stuck with a father who loves to travel across the world. How all these stories come together? Well you should watch the movie first. I really do not want to spoil it this time as I respect “Babel”.

If you are waiting to see Brad Pitt being Brad Pitt, that’s not what you’re going to get. He is just a man trying to save his wife...
