Don't waste your time - By: Aeneas, 23 Dec 2007 
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 & 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 & it didn't work. The acting was nothing to speak about either. Nope, you can skip this one.
No Comment. - By: P. Shah, 08 Oct 2007 I saw this & it was terrible, yes it won an Oscar & so on. However the plot is completely terrible. Me & my friends saw it in the Cinema, one fell asleep, the other was driven to insanity & i was left helpless to view such a terrible film.
You may say I'm being bias, however i did watch the film again & that still showed me how bad this film reallly 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 alllot, & i mean alllot of films in my life, but this by far is the worst.
Interconnections - By: M. A. Ramos, 05 Oct 2007 
A Shepard in Morocco barters for a rifle & 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 smalll village which is nearby with the claim the village has a doctor. Unable to be transported any further, the woman & her husband are dropped off in this very remote village, to await help. Blanchett gives a stunning performance as the criticallly wounded wife, & 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, & the American couple's nanny does not wish to miss her son's wedding, & 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 & 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 sexuallly explicit scenes that were pretty much unnecessary for this melodrama.
Blu-ray + PS3 = hard to beat - By: rwh_wan, 19 Jan 2007 
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(literallly as they advertise). A great movie to keep in HD format for my children.
