Babel, Yakety Yak…Please don’t talk back

For an oscar winner…

Nah.

I think that movies has some really good ideas, and themes but overall it is one of those critic worthy pictures that in reality is just plain…OK. I think that the story of the Mexican housekeeper and the two children is perhaps the most compelling of them all…I really could have done with out the story of of asian girl. I understand that the story of deaf-mute on film can be interesting for the simple fact that film is mainly visual, and audiotory and she lacks one of the two important parts. Nonetheless, her story did little to pull me into the framework of story which isn’t good. I think that Brad Pitt does a great job telling his story, and the scenes where he is interacting with groups of people you really can see the actor that Brad Pitt really can be!

Furthermore, I think that some of the social statements in the film are quite strong. Especially when is comes towards then, and the housekeeper dealing with deportation.

Overall Score: (3.2-4.0) B+
