Babel (2006)IMDB
Directed by: Alejandro González Iñárritu
My Rate: 5/5
Impressive, breathtaking and real! They are the first expressions that came to my mind describing it. Babel is composed of 3 stories occurring in Morocco, Mexico and Japan, connected to each other in a curious way and as we may expect from Iñárritu (the director of 21 Grams), with a slight time shift. But that's not the point that makes the film so interesting. The point is that it is so much real like a bitter story of "somebody else" you read in a newspaper everyday. Sort of disastrous stories that we read a lot about these days. The stories you wish that somebody could have done something to prevent them, but that's not possible. Somethings happen with no intension, they just happen. I don't know if we should call them God's will. People here normally call it so.
The main theme of the film is the human's solitude. The lonely human who is nothing apart from his family and his home, who is afraid of strangers and who is nothing if left alone and not supported by the family. We are still as vulnerable as a lonely kid in a desert.
The title of the post comes from the film Constantine. In the last scene John Constantine (Keanu Reeves) says: "He (God) does his works in mysterious ways, some people like it, some don't." Some people may like this film some don't. It depends on how you interpret the world.
