Title: Babel
Post by: Ace_O_Spades on Thursday, January 25, 2007, 04:13:33 AM
I know this was mentioned in ender's thread, but I feel the need to give this movie its own thread

I started watching it, and it just sucked me in for the ride, now it's quarter after three and I'm still up thinking about it.

What a movie.

I don't even know how to frame it in a way that would make sense... maybe after some sleep

To bed!

I liked it... but I really felt that the Japanese story could have been tied together in some way better. It was extremely well made... but somehow it just didn't connect at the end for me. Maybe I just need to see it again.

I don't think the Japanese story offered enough by itself to stand alongside the rest of the plot as an individual entity. It meshed incredibly well with one of the central themes, the anarchy caused by communication breakdown.

It was a good movie.  Definitely worth watching if you haven't seen it.

One of my buds at work goes to the movies a lot -- and he saw this and said it was really good.

It does look really good -- saw the trailer for this a bit ago.

Been wanting to see this one.

My dad watched this, earlier; he didn't know what to make of it.

I'm going to have to watch this. I bet I'll like it.
