Today, my friend invited me to watch "Babel Tower", which is the film I've been looking forward to for a long time. The second film won many awards, revealing that the core theme is the communication between people. The Tower of Babel is the Tower of Babel in the Bible. Babel originally meant the noisy, chattering of the human voice. The people in the bible wanted to get to heaven by building a tower that was so high, God was dissatisfied with the arrogance of people, he sent these people who spoke the same language to all over the world and made them speak different languages, If there is no communication, the Babel Tower cannot be built, because people lose the possibility of communication and communication. However, the film takes this as the title, which is intended to emphasize that the real communication should be the communication of the heart, not the communication of the surface language. For example, the characters in the film speak these four different languages, and the Japanese deaf girls can only communicate through sign language. and writing and communicating with others. But this is not the key. Their inner depression, poor communication, and lack of understanding are all the reality and a little helplessness in life. The series of stories triggered by this is quite dramatic on the surface, but it is A true picture of life. People feel oppressed and miserable because they feel the lack of communication in their hearts, and at the same time how desperately they want to be communicated, understood, and loved. The Tower of Babel is the spiritual communication we long for, which we should never give up at any time.
