More on Babel….

February 17, 2007 By pgarry

What is it about this movie that has so captured my imagination? I?ve seen it twice and could see it again this very afternoon. It portrays a horrific world where guns rule and fear on every level dominates ? from a boy?s fear of his father to a Mexican?s fear of border agents to a trumped-up media?s fear of ?terrorism? ? yet a world that can also be unexpectedly kind ? the hospitality of dirt-poor Moroccans, the gentleness of a Japanese detective. I was enraptured by this film, found it to be very true to life, and amidst all the fear and pain, found some hope. I highly recommend it!
