Deconstruction of Relationships

Originally, human beings on land had a unified language and belief;

the germination of the "Tower of Babel" made human beings think that they had the ability to fight against God's destiny;

God could not bear human's doubts about his dominance and the diminishing reverence in their hearts, which made human beings feel Each ethnic group has its own language. Since then, people's communication has been incomparable to heaven, the world has been in chaos and disputes since then, and the "Babel" also collapsed in an instant...

This is the legend about "Babel" in the Bible. This film made me understand this not-so-famous allusion. After watching this film, my first thought was to ask those political teachers in Chinese universities to use this film as a textbook and play it again in class, "The world is universally connected. The two philosophical propositions will penetrate deeper into the hearts of students. Compared with their lullaby-like thoughts, the film's explanation of such an abstract philosophical thought is more interesting and intuitive. More.

How powerful is a .27 M70? The innocence and helplessness of a Moroccan guide, the ignorance and panic of two Moroccan teenagers, the life of an American citizen, the lawsuit faced by a Mexican nanny, the vast desert in front of two American children, the complexities of a Japanese father and daughter Emotions, three families facing disintegration... Okay, stop, if I list it like this, I think the whole world will be involved.

Three scenes, three different civilizations; the Moroccan desert where terrorists were stationed, approaching a primitive society, M70 broke into the lives of Moroccan teenagers as an accidental medium, and pitt and Blanchett, an American couple Become a victim of the media from a relatively developed country; and the kind-hearted Mexican nanny also suffered an unexpected accident, so she had to return to the mother of her own culture - the passionate Mexican society; The starting point of the film's clues, the relationship between Japanese father and daughter should be the smallest, but the performance of the deaf girl best interprets the meaning of "Babel", she is just a microcosm of thousands of people living in such a sick society. An M70 string together all of this. If we want to go deeper, there are more interesting or tragic stories behind it. The communication and communication between people are in this way, through all kinds of media. Feeling, silently going on.

"Babel Tower" definitely has the strength of a small golden man, but with "Crash" in front, I don't know that the jury will not vote for "Babel Tower" with similar themes and techniques for the second year in a row.

Your life and mine are all spirals, spinning and wrapping stories. I don't think I will casually say the words "none of my business" in the future. Every word, every action, or quickly, or slowly, more or less, changes many people around you, far away, close, or estranged.
