I've always been puzzled, why so many people say "Pete without spicy" is handsome, isn't he just a rough guy?
What is still confusing is how old Kikuchi Purlin is. She has been naked many times in the movie. How does our cinema here deal with it?
I like the scene of a Mexican nanny running like a fly in high heels and waving a red scarf in the desert.
The way Pete's son grins and weeps in the desert is really heartbreaking. I've never been able to see beautiful children suffering, so that when a Moroccan child was shot and I didn't respond, people questioned my humanity.
Watching "Babel", my focus was on these leftovers. The roommate I watched with me was concerned about the poverty in Morocco, the brutality of the police, and the sexual thirst of Japanese girls. I don't think it is much different from me.
It's certainly an extremely serious movie, and it's a step further than serious: it's a cold movie. What exactly is it talking about?
Two Moroccan boys were shot dead by police after they accidentally shot American tourists in their car with rifles given by their father.
A middle-aged American couple was in a relationship crisis. The woman was shot during a trip to Morocco, but was suspected by the U.S. government of terrorists.
The Mexican nanny of the American couple was going to attend their son's wedding, but the hostess couldn't come back after being shot, so the nanny had to cross the border with two American children. When the nanny's nephew drove them back at night, they were interrogated by the border police, and the nephew rushed over. Later, the nanny was deported.
The deaf-mute Japanese girl yearns for love, shows her genitals to street teenagers, seduces a dentist, and has a crush on a police investigator. However, the warmth never came. Later, she did not commit suicide as I expected. She is naked and hugs her father.
That's all.
It's similar to "The Musketeer" by Kuxi before, except that "The Musketeer" uses the gun as the clue to form a line, and "Tower of Babel" uses the gun as the point to form a surface.
The story of the Tower of Babel in the Bible is related to language. In the beginning, human beings shared one language, and God was afraid of trouble, so that people of all races would use different languages, so the Tower of Babel could not be built, and human beings would suffer forever. ——It seems so, the memory is fuzzy. In short, the Tower of Babel is about communication.
The movie should be about this. The four stories are strung together, the conflict and isolation of people of all ethnic groups.
The US government believes that Morocco has terrorists, so it would rather delay the lives of its citizens. The American police were ruthless in the face of Mexican immigrants, and Mexican youths even gave up the possibility of confronting the American police and fled. Japanese girls live in a silent world, alienating from the world and seeking acceptance at the same time, in a very extreme way, but people don't understand her.
That's all.
The flakes were cold and rough. It looks tiring. Not my type.
And, not even Crazy Stone.
These films, perhaps too clever, treat the story as a math problem, with causal relationships, time and space transitions, and plot connections, all of which fit perfectly. So it's the same as a math problem: cold.
In this way, characters and emotions seem to be left aside (perhaps just hidden.) There
is an analogy to Paris I Love You.
I think if the movie is strung together by a few short stories, it is better not to make the plot very serious, because then the consequence is that the story drives out the characters and leaves no impression, so the little Moroccan boy died and I was indifferent.
Like "Paris, I Love You", it's a light story, a light person, comfortable, so nice. However, there is a problem with the plate, and I have only read half of it.
