And the walls came tumbling down...


Yits today saw us going to see Babel for 'word,' in which we have just finished looking at the creation story, moving onto the fall.


Four stories that are all interlinked because of a specific action undertaken. It was quite interesting the discussions that took place afterwards....specifically who was to blame for starting the chain of events. There were a number of theories going around. It was interesting to see on whom the finger of blame was laid on.


The film covered such a plethora of issuse...from illeagal immigration, sucide to political crap over an ambulance between 2 opposing countries. From communication issues between a husband and wife/father and daughter/different cultures....


It was quite an emotionally seeking movie. And the more I think about it..the more my mind spins at the complexities.


Words wont do any justice for the images that were seen

good + bad images ? + in the sense that nothing will help you to erase those images from your mind?

as disturbing as they may be, look at it from the outside; a different angle; the picture as a whole, and then dig deeper into the mysteries surrounding the movie, the scenes; the plot.

if the director wanted to depict the writer's intention differently he/she could have, but they chose this specific framework.

the question "why" comes to mind.
