  A little over-hyped.

  by cjtolmie

  But still a decent movie to rent. The concept is very good and well acted.

  ?BABEL? -- A World of Misunderstandings cause much PAIN on the Planet Rating: 9 of 10 stars (based on viewing an HD-DVD copy of the film) =

  by jimchudnow

  A married couple from San Diego, Richard & Susan Jones (BRAD PITT & CATE BLANCHETT) are on a vacation in a bus touring a desert countryside area of Morocco. They?ve left their two young kids with their lifelong Mexican nanny Amelia (ADRIANA BARRAZA). In the desert, a goat-owner buys a rifle for safety from a local guide (who got it as a gift from a Japanese hunter). He lets his two sons carry the rifle to keep jackals away from his herd. But, the sons are very competitive, &, in practice shooting, 1 thoughtlessly injures CATE as she rides in the bus. Naturally, things keep ?spiraling? ever more out of control with the various groups: a Japanese girl keeps having more and more emotional problems; Adriana takes Brad's kids to Mexico; & the Moroccan boys (considered "terrorists") try to hide what they?d done. . It?s an impressively-done story of how seemingly-?small? incidents can lead to MAJOR consequences in a ?domino? effect, with an interweaving of stories of at least 4 main groups.

  Crash Goes to Japan then Morocco and Then Some

  by bubbala50

  This movie was just too much at once...and I didn't really get the point. Brad Pitt was pretty good but for the life of me I couldn't figure out why. Skip this one and spend your money on Good Shephard....now that's a movie.
