Very disappointed :(

The Worst Film Ever

Did you people see the same film I saw?

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

BabelStarring : Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, Gael Garcia Bernal and Rinko Kikuchi Writer : Guillermo Arriaga Director : Alejandro G. Inarritu4 out of 5Babel follows up four different tales that are somehow interconnected with its pragmatic and three dimensional characters, and binding it all lies a metaphorical poem that depicts the innocence, mistakes and the consequences it breeds as the next-or-any-for-that-matter generation springs. There have been plenty of such features that focuses on various sub-plots that sometimes are either connected or not connected, but this one stands alone for despite of ticking for around 140 minutes, the feature keeps the audience engaged and on the edge of the seat which is somewhat of a milestone in its own way.The script is gripping, thought-provoking and well structured, especially its approach to the plot track, whether it be crossover or an individual, is just breath-taking. It is shot beautifully and is rich on its technical aspects like cinematography, background score, sound effects, art design and editing.Alejandro G. Inarritu; the director, as usual doesn't disappoint on its execution, whether then it be to create complex entity among characters or emotions that pours out like rain on screen. The feature scores majestically on performance where every supporting cast- there isn't any definite protagonist in here whose story is followed, it is a plot driven feature- (Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett and Gael Garcia Banel) is giving its all in to factor in on the bigger picture.Babel is actually crystal clear on its vision that it anticipated to share, and is also sharp on flaunting it through nerve fleshing visuals.

'Babel' is an authentic portrayal of the depletion of humanity and the terrible negligence of basic human values. The narrative of the movie moves along a spectrum of extreme emotional depth and execution of the the underlying morals in a deeply disturbing turn of events. The plot follows an accident faced by an American tourist which leads upto the unfolding of 3 different narratives which depicts 3 diffrent scenarios surrounding 3 different communities. Director Alejandro González Iñárritu masterfully manages to create the link between the 3 different scenarios by layering the thread of linking the narratives by giving the audiences to view the plot from 3 different scopes each which leads up to the scenarios depicted under each sub plot. The most amazing aspect of this is that the director has managed to layer the sub plots with abundant suspense all throughout the movie and rigorously emotional acting performances. Rinko Kikuchi who plays a young deaf Japanese girl creates maximum impact by coating the performance with enough emotional intensity and a marvelously convincing performance. Her pain of being treated differently is reflected through her glowing eyes in almost every scene she's in. Adriana Barraza's performance is no different and would make you reevaluate the core values a human should possess. The only negative aspect about the film that I witnessed are its confusing timelines surrounding the sub plots and the link between them leading up to the disturbing key event. The film would wreck you emotionally and disturb you to your heart's core which is exactly why you must see this film.

To be honest: babel took me with surprise. I am a long time fan of Alejandro. but the combination of the actors, poster and the criticism didn't made me enthusiastic. but after seeing Birdman again last week I thought I give it a go. and wow!i believe that film is a medium to tell stories that grate, that are hard to believe. and this story is the right tone to that. we immediately understand the characters and the fact that in every situation their powerless, makes it hard to look at. nevertheless, at some point it was going in the wrong direction for me. but the moment I thought that Alejandro went to far. he dose it all. and i loved that. he didn't chose to murder them all out or make them all too crazy. he only suggest the thought of it.overall a great film that grabs you in every of the three stories.

One of the best movies I ever watched. Kikuchi Rinko was incredible. But how I got there was very long. I watched Kong Skull Island and one of the stars Jing Tian was in Pacific Rim which also starred Kikuchi Rinko. Looking further into Kikuchi's career, I saw Kikuchi was nominated for an Oscar for Babel. When I watched that, I thought it was a great performance by Kikuchi, but also one of the best films I ever watched.
