I have seen the introduction before, and I know that the name of the movie dictionary comes from the Bible - the Tower of Babel (Babel) - this is a human delusion, wanting to build a tower that reaches the sky in the human world, but God only needs a light finger, and the world has been filled with languages ​​since then. Only in this case, the smooth progress of the project was replaced by the noise of the language barrier, and the question of the impossibility of the Tower of Babel soon made it possible to doubt this or "very philosophical", and most of the "philosophical" movies are dull and obscure. It came down to my surprise, this drama is very good! [Plot] The whole play has three story lines. The main lines are Brad pitt and his wife. They were traveling in Morocco. The heroine was seriously injured by a stray bullet. The gun was accidentally shot by a child, and the child was the son of a local shepherd. Typical The Family in a Third World Country - Poor Life, Desolate Childhood Subline One is about Brad The sons and daughters of the Pitts in the United States. When their parents go out, they are looked after by a Mexican maid. The maid's son in Mexico City is getting married, she wants to go home, but the child is not taken care of, so she takes the child out of the country to Mexico for the wedding - all the troubles have been buried from that moment. The stories are far apart, the island country Japan, a single-parent family, the father and his deaf-mute daughter live a lonely life of two people, this part of the story all revolves around this mute girl living in a silent world [narrative] The three story lines develop in parallel. Interspersed with each other, the narrative skills are skillful and the splendor ends, and the main story is all revealed, but at the same time, countless puzzles also come to mind [Conflict/Contrast] In addition to the skillful cutting in the narrative, parallel and smooth, the symmetrical arrangement of the three story lines The story itself contains many very interesting conflicts and contrasting peasant families, two boys, one moving and one quiet, one timid and weaker than the eldest’s identity, and one fierce and brave out of proportion to their age, (it feels like a natural The two ends of the phone: one is blood, tears, sweat, and the earth is turned upside down in a foreign country; the other is the modern city life that is as warm as cotton, sunny and warm, just like the hands of the nanny soothing the little boy, whispering softly, warmly and peacefully— -Like the inside and outside of the car in paradise: one is a poor and ragged peasant, the other is a luxury bus with air-conditioning like water, modern luxury and comfort. The political battle between the great powers is broken inside and outside the walls: one is the family life that licks the calf day after day, and the other is the police shoes that are turned upside down and roaring - fire, which will soon burn through the paper...... Not to mention What’s more, in the auxiliary story line, in one day, the difficulty of entry and exit; in a few minutes, the United States and Mexico City, a clean and quiet city with a strong chaotic and noisy character contrast; and the silent world and the noise of the mute girl. The contrast between the prosperous city like thunder... ………… [Emotion] This is a movie full of affectionate feelings, although those affectionate feelings may have been under so much repression... A dumb girl, with a fiery personality, wants to enjoy it to the fullest This world of youthful flames—but the world is always peaceful. For her, who is always silent, to endure the prosperity of the splendid world, after all, it depends on imagination. The bright smile of youth is fleeting, and it is always swallowed up by the cruel silence... ...between husband and wife, constant bickering, cold war and resistance ... However, from the moment of the disaster, the emotional frenzy finally emerged between the running and roaring: I pissed. I urinate again. Laughing, kissing - there is nothing dirty but touching at that moment...the child and the father Between kisses, the tough guy's crying, the husband and wife's kiss of repentance and forgiveness, how could you not feel the heartache... Between the babysitter and her secret lover, two old and ugly bodies Trembling and kissing in the secret room - you can say that it is not beautiful, but who can say that it is not moving - on the scale of emotion, there is no old Fama, and there is no scale of beauty...even, in the son and mother Between (nanny), there are very few lines, the son who looks like an iron tower only says "Mom, don't go today", and after the wind and rain, a silhouette of mother and son embracing on the dirty road, also caught my eye. Flashing... [Puzzle] "At the same moment when all the main story is revealed, countless puzzles also come to mind" This is the most surprising part of this play. In such a small chapter, the author actually brought it out. There are so many heart-wrenching stories, each of which is looming and confusing. Question 1: Why did the couple go to Morocco? Obviously, the wife was in a very bad mood along the way. Here are a few clues, which seem to be the same as the next one. Puzzle related to Puzzle 2: What happened to the dead child sam of the husband and wife? How did he die? Why does his death constitute a knot between the two? The little boy's sweet words before going to bed brought out this matter, and the understanding of the husband and wife embracing each other and weeping only makes people more curious... Mystery 3: Farmhouse Wildness What's the story between the little boy and his sister? Why did my sister deliberately show him her bath many times - what deserves more attention here is naturally the inner world of the little girl, but this plot is also fleeting, because the more important escape is still waiting for the angry father and the two Boy... Puzzle 4: What exactly was written on the piece of paper that the dumb girl gave to the police at the end? Myth 5: How did the mute woman's mother die? If it's a gun, why would a dumb girl lie? In addition, is there any relationship between swallowing the "gun" and the old man's exotic "gun"? Myth 6: Why did the nanny and his lover fall in love so restrained? What kind of ordinary and thrilling emotional entanglements are there between a single nanny and her son, lover, and husband... Puzzle 7: The nanny's nephew has ever been in prison? why? Why is he suddenly so out of control, the babysitter was found, the two children were rescued, then he went there again... Puzzle 8: Japanese police, babysitter's son, as a supporting role in the whole play, but the solemn expression , people can't help guessing, behind the steady figure of the man, what kind of inner turmoil is hidden... As a movie, such a limited space, the capacity is so amazing - I think it's enough, I don't even want to do any more Think about what his name is

    Generally the plot is very tortuous and the story has a lot of capacity

    Sadness with nowhere to rest. The inextricable connection between people is a barrier that cannot be eliminated. That sudden turn of fate.
