Babel tells the story of a group of individuals spanning three continents who are linked by the tragic accidental shooting of an American tourist. The obvious comparison for me to make with this film is the infamous Oscar winning Crash which shares many themes. Both films are based on cultural differences and prejudices and their impact on the lives of those involved. Both feature an anti-gun message. Both stories are structured around a series of rather unlikely coincidences. The only real difference between the two are that this film has more in the way of arthouse credibility. Because both films are also well acted, nicely directed, interesting stories. Yes, that's right. STORIES. Anyone who derides Crash as a piece of crap while at the same time holding Babel up as a work of art is talking purely out of cinematic snobbery. AKA their arse.

wow this film will never leave you, its still lingering in the back of my mind so long after viewing, Pitt really let it all go her, I was actually surprised by how much he gave the role. But its not just a story about Pitt, the plot involves multiple stories about everal different characters and each actor in his or her role is just outstanding even the kids.

The cinematography aspect of this movie was AWESOME. The story though, left me confused. The acting was great, as well.

This Movie Was Good But It's True It Didn't Need That Third Story The One About The Japanese People It Doesn't Fit In The Movie.
You, my friend, need to look deeper into the meaning of the movie than just the surface plot. The movie's themes about being all alone and helpless connect Rinko Kikuchi's character to the rest of the film.
Also there are four stories
Japanese
Mexico/American border
Brad Pitt/Cate Blanchette

Ohmigosh this film is awesome. My best friend took me to it for my birthday and I didn't expect it to be so great coz of the subtitles, but I loved it! Anyone who says it's rubbish has no taste.

All right, I liked this movie well enough, but the guy that says it's better than 21 Grams is completely out of his fucking mind.
It's better than 21 Grams, but both are still great films.
Babel is the last in the Iñarritu/Arriaga trilogy, and it's the only film that gets the fundamental emotions and message perfect. Babel is far better than 21 Grams.posted 579 days ago -

WHAT?! This movie was lame. As far as a plot goes anyway. 4 stories brought together by lack of a common language? I must've missed it. I can't believe this film was nominated for anything. I had to mute the movie a few times because that 'sound' was grating. I was expecting much more.
