Babel

No, very serious....Compare it to a movie like 21 Grams or Crash. Lots of things going on....Worth seeing, but hard to watch. I get affected by tough movies like that.

Yes it is a very good movie. I especially enjoyed the way that the stories were all linked, but they did not make the connections ridiculous.
The various plots were all realistically interwoven and did not overly rely on coincidence to push along the plot. That, along with solid acting performances made it a good movie.
My two favorites from this year however, are still Little Miss Sunshine and Little Children.

I want to see Little Children, but a family member yesterday said it was horrible. The reviews were all pretty good.

I really liked the movie and you are right on regarding the performances of the Mexican lady and the Japanese girl... really all the foreign actors were very, very good... definately a movie to watch...

Did you see Apocolypto?? that was very good too!

Rinko deserves the Supp. Actress award. I hope she upsets them tomorrow.

This movie is better than 21 Grams.
