BABEL.

What do you get when you cross an Art House Production with a Hollywood Babe?

An atrocious mix of good film and bad distraction.

Or perhaps you'll just get "Babel".

IT IS A GOOD FILM. Don't get me wrong on that. One in which allows audience to touch, see and feel for the humanity and emotions portrayed. Certain scenes were beautifully executed, others were okay, some were bad, a few made me wanna shout "CUT!"

"Babel" is a weird, seemingly random mixture of stories, but all centering around a prominent theme of discrimination, be it of ethnic groups, races, or people with disabilities and even between friends and family members. This show has got a good amount of heart wrenching moments and soul tingling situations that makes the audience seriously reflect about their own feelings as stories and events unfold.

A much better and more rewarding movie than "Crash" (which was about similar theme), "Babel" still needs to be more concised and narrative to make it even better and more appealing for the mass audience. It is afterall a movie with an undiscriminating theme (pardon the pun); but with its jumpy and near non-friendly story flow, "Babel" is an Art House film. And as if the he suddenly decides to salvage the box office turnout? Director Alejandro Gonzales Inarritu puts Brad Pitt in it. Haa... Here comes the horrendous relevation of a probable Hollywood ending in which everyone lives, ppl. are happy, they wave and the story ends kind of thing. And sure enough, it did.

Gross.

This film does not need that salvaging. It's a gOOd movie. A touching and convincing commentary that well stands on its own without all the fuss and extravaganza. But ohh well, at least it gave Brad Pitt fans something to look forward to...
