Babel - 4 stars out of 5 stars


Hopefully I don't offend with this comment but this film is like a woman,sometimes you love it and sometimes………….
I loved both Brad Pitt as Richard Jones and Cate Blanchett as Susan Jones in this film .The story centers around a couple off on a trip to  Morocco and then,well this is when its like a woman.There are  3 other stories revolving around the Jones.The first is of a poor Moroccan family and sometimes you like them,other times like around 9/11 you hate them.
The second story is about the older Mexican woman who is watching the Jones children while they are gone.Same story here,love and hate but for a different reason.Can she really be so stupid,good heart or not ??Finally the third is about a Japanese family and the tie in here is really questionable and perhaps over the top for some titillation factor the film doesn't need.Still it is a riveting film and I guess it brought out my female side because I took 1 star off for …………..(?) Released in 2006 in runs long at 143 minutes spelling out all the storylines. All the acting is great and the trailer URL follows the pix
