Movies with big scenes are suitable for watching in cinemas. The big scene in Morocco, the artificial club Babel in Tokyo, is a movie that switches between the outside and the inside in sunny outdoor and dark indoor, and it is the kind of movie that needs to be seen on the big screen. Sometimes you are taken to the nearest place to the character, and sometimes you are taken to a big view.

We were taken to the barren hills of Morocco, and the lives of the villagers were disturbed by a gun. This American-made Winchester shotgun was left by a Japanese tourist to a local guide. A well-intentioned act led to a tragedy. The bullet of this gun was shot by the child who was herding sheep, and it hit the female tourist who had just arrived from America. The female tourist and her husband lost their children not long ago, and the trip was originally to save the marriage. Female tourists are waiting for rescue in a small village, and Moroccan police suspect terrorist acts. In order to protect the reputation of the country, they began to hunt down the shepherd family rudely. The husband of the female tourist called the Mexican nanny at home in San Diego, California, and asked her to take care of the children. The Mexican nanny had to cross the border to attend her son's wedding. She couldn't find a substitute teacher, so she had to take two children with her. As a result, on the way back to San Diego, she was suspected by the police of kidnapping the child, and spent the night in the wild, almost losing her child. On the other side of the world, Japanese police were asked to investigate the source of shotguns. As a result, we learned that Japanese tourists had a mute daughter in adolescence, rebellious and eager in the pain of growing up, and then we learned that the mother of this family committed suicide not long ago. ...

Unfortunately, when I watched it, I almost felt that the screenwriter was forcing these coincidences. However, whether it is American tourists waiting for rescue in Morocco, father and daughter under the lights of Tokyo, or panicked Mexican nannies in the wasteland of North America, it is a portrayal of human helplessness in the predicament. Today, it seems that mankind is also building a tower of Babel. Today's Babel is global, and the global Babel is not without cost.

The technique of this film can attract you to watch and often make you breathless. Photography is the least controversial part, which gives us unforgettable pictures. Whether it's beautiful barren hills or artificial Tokyo, photography is so powerful. In terms of performance, the use of big stars, professional actors and non-professional actors from all over the world at the same time, without any sense of disharmony, is also a major feature of the film. The status of Cate Blanchett and Brad Pitt as big stars just fits the plot, because in a small part of the Third World, any American is like a star. But suddenly they can still be so helpless. Of course, the ending of this part of the story has finally turned from sadness to joy, which may be a little comfort that American audiences need. The Japanese part of the story, especially the outstanding performance of Japanese actresses, is the most unconventional, but it also reflects the confusion of modern people. On the one hand, capitalism needs globalization, and Mexicans are the main force of cheap labor in California. On the other hand, the border must exist, and the rules of entry and exit are always decided by the powerful party. ...

What can keep the light of hope in a desperate situation? When human beings are punished by God because of the Tower of Babel, what can human beings of different languages and races rely on to communicate? The creator of this film seems desperate and hopeful. In the darkest night, we are looking for the light of humanity. In addition to the affection between father and son, father and daughter, and husband and wife, perhaps Moroccan tour guides, Moroccan grandmothers, Tokyo police and Mexican nannies can better prove the bond of human nature. Iria, the director of Babel, is brilliant and ambitious. Babel has fully proved his talent as a film artist. His ambition is to create a film about big ideas and arouse big emotions at the same time. Opinions vary as to whether this ambition has been fully realized. The advantage of this film is that it only makes you think imperceptibly, does not impose conclusions on you, does not simplify every culture, and only evokes pity for life. Perhaps this sympathy will be the light to save us from estrangement. But at the same time, is its story too far-fetched? It took me a long time to say nothing clearly. Although there are many powerful clips, the combination of these clips failed to reach the height that the creator wanted to achieve? This is a movie that makes you want to argue with your friends after watching it.

It is recorded in the Bible that man wanted to build a "Tower of Babel". In order to prevent people from reaching heaven, God made them speak different languages. Finally, the difficulty of human communication led to the collapse of the tower, and the dream of going to heaven became a bubble. The film Babel borrowed this metaphor, and the director of Love is a Dog and a Wolf, Alessandro Gonzá lez Inarito, directed the film. Alessandro Gonzalez Inarito is a master of structure. This movie is worth looking forward to, because there are two superstars, Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett.

The film Babel has a strong unique style of Alessandro Gonzá lez Inarito. I'm afraid it's hard to find any director in the world who can use the multi-clue cross-narrative technique so skillfully, which seems to surpass the best film Crash in the last Oscar. Moreover, Alessandro's grasp of the story and the contradictions and conflicts in the story are more grand and humanized. At the same time, this multi-clue narrative technique is no longer just an expression tool in his hands, but a very insightful and insightful expression outlet, which is the only way for him to express the theme of the story. Inarito once said that it has become his working habit to weave some story clues together. "When I was sitting in the car and saw someone passing by, I began to think that that person must be more interesting than anything in my mind. Therefore, exploring other people's hearts is my greatest wish. At the same time, everything we have in reality is so limited. I hope to explore a wider external world, what impact the strange external world has on me personally and so on. , this will be my work to explore the goal ... "

At the 59th Cannes International Film Festival, Alessandro Gonzá lez Inarito won the best director award for his "Babel", which also made him enjoy heroic cheers after returning to his native Mexico. Perhaps "Love is a Bitch" is a purely local act; "2 1 g" is more sharp and niche, but after the first two bold attempts, Inarito finally ushered in more brilliant achievements. At Cannes International Film Festival, Babel's voice was the highest, even higher than the return of the master Amodova. Some people think that Inari has been repeating himself, that's all, but his attitude of sticking to his own style is the most precious to a filmmaker with independent spirit, and he has indeed found the most suitable expression for himself. Compared with his first two works, Babel has made a great breakthrough and is more grand in structure and theme.

At the 64th Golden Globe Awards, this film won the Best Drama Award.

At the 79th Academy Awards, the film received seven nominations.
