The most exciting part of this movie is in the "silent" part, including the dance scene of the wedding, the arrival of the helicopter, and the desert for help.... These are the most important drama meat, and the front is just a foreshadowing.

It not only conforms to the literal theme of Babel, but also includes non-verbal communication -- emotional diffusion. Alessandro Gonzalez Inarido has always been sophisticated in his approach to metaphor and subject matter.

However, in Babel, Inarido still repeats his old-fashioned narrative structure, talking about the fateful entanglement of marginal and small people. But this time, the focus is broader, and it is also slightly ambitious.... Nothing Substantial leap, in terms of directing techniques.

Alessandro Gonzalez Inarido has always been a very important director, no matter how complex the structure and characters, how monotonous the form, the story told must be Will clearly revolve around a theme, different each time, never overpowering. It is admirable that he repeats the structure, but not the point.

For Alessandro Gonzalez Inarido A question: Can he make a film with a conventional linear narrative and a closed structure that is equally moving? It

is not a complex world that can have amazing deeds, and it is not only the criss-crossing of people that creates karma of joy and sorrow. Yes At times, an origin of space-time coordinates can brew a legend within a fixed interval. Even if the cause is not explained, the ending is not explored, and the influence does not need to be diffused, there is still a moving experience~~~~ This is the most exciting experience of those classic literary and artistic works. common mode, but also achievements in the most contribution. Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu seems to have no tendency to think of this, or, has been trying to avoid their Achilles' heel.

If Iraq Breaking down and rebuilding the links in Narito's films, you will find that every clue is overshadowed, at least by other films earlier and in a more profound way. If Inarido wants to go further, he must Divested from being a superb structural architect and reinvented his approach. His vision and depth are more than capable of supporting him in any form of film. Is this guy too conservative or self-confident?

    At the end of the trilogy, Gonzalez's theme is no longer personal destiny, but has risen to race and country. Suicide cannot be prevented because of deafness and dumbness, lives cannot be saved because of politics, and national borders cannot be passed because of discrimination. These tragedies are easier to understand because of the popular metaphor of the Tower of Babel. The director explored the possibility of communication, but the Sky Tower of Genesis could not be built at all. PS cut to 120 minutes is better.
