      God's punishment for human arrogance has continued to this day

      "The Tower of Babel", which takes place in contemporary times, is a story of three interrelated stories in three countries, with a racial theme. 500 dirhams plus a sheep in exchange for a rifle, involved a series of stories. For more than two hours, the guitar feast from start to finish was so gorgeous that I could not wait to travel back to years ago and smash my best guitar...

      Everyone's world is different

      When we feel more and more that we are not understood, will we resent God, or we always know that it is ourselves who destroy the Tower of Babel.
      Or, what God destroys is the tower of Babel built deep in our hearts, using things other than language to make people self-enclosed.

      The darkest night, the brightest light.

      We will not be cut off by language, but will only continue to imprison our hearts at an ever-increasing speed. The whole movie is like listening to an old...

      fear of being unable to communicate

      It suddenly rained heavily outside the house. This was the first heavy rain since the beginning of spring. At noon, the sudden heat flow dyed the indoor glass with a layer of water vapor. It was hard to believe that the water vapor fell from the sky in a blink of an eye. The speaker is also surrounded by the ending song of "Tower of Babel", which won the best soundtrack of this year's Oscar.
         I have always liked this kind of story with several lines unfolding independently at the same...

      Is it related to BABEL?

      Totally disappointed.
      Mexican part: The typical example of Americans smacking themselves, discriminating against others, cracking down on smuggling, smearing others, etc. They don't like others so much, why do they entrust their children to others? It was just right that something happened. Moreover, I have been to Mexico, and I have seen a lot of travel introductions about Mexico. The local people are really enthusiastic, and it is very worthwhile to experience the local style. Although...

      My Babel

      The word BABEL comes from The Bible.

      After Noah and his three sons stepped out of the ark, a clean, new world lay before them. Since then, people grew and grew until the earth became as full of people as it was before the flood .

      People in the world finally moved east into the valley of Mesopotamia and lived on a plain in the land of Shinar. Later on, they began to make a tower so great and high that its top will reach up to the sky.

      Everything was moving fast, but...

      The multi-line narrative is well done, especially the connection between Morocco and the two parts of the United States and Mexico, which is just right, but the Japanese story is a bit different from the whole. Not as good as Crash overall, but still worth...

    Movie plot

    On the hillside in North Africa and Morocco, the two black brothers are carefree and herding sheep. At this time, their father happily walked towards them with the rifle he just bought. Having such a rare thing in troubled times is naturally like a treasure. After the child shoots at a distance at will to try his hand. The sound of an emergency brake from a tourist bus was heard in the distance. The car was full of tourists from all...

    Evaluation action

    It’s more appropriate to use the metaphor of "Waiting for the other shoe to fall" in the movie "Tower of the Sky" by Mexican director Alessandro Gonzalez Inarito, because the audience watched the film. The emotions at that time will be tension, anxiety and restlessness. Other directors often create fictitious, complicated, and even tragic scenes when directing films, and then slowly release them to relieve the tension of the audience....
