Watch: Babel 2006 123movies, Full Movie Online – Four interlocking stories connected by a single gun converge at the end to reveal a complex and tragic story of the lives of humanity around the world and how we truly aren’t all that different. In Morocco, a troubled married couple are on vacation trying to work out their differences. Meanwhile, a Moroccan herder buys a rifle for his sons so they can keep the jackals away from his herd. A girl in Japan dealing with rejection, the death of her mother, the emotional distance of her father, her own self-consciousness, and a disability among many other issues, deals with modern life in the enormous metropolis of Tokyo, Japan. Then, on the opposite side of the world the married couple’s Mexican nanny takes the couple’s two children with her to her son’s wedding in Mexico, only to come into trouble on the return trip. Combined, it provides a powerful story and an equally powerful looking glass into the lives of seemingly random people around the world and it shows just how connected we really are..
Plot: In Babel, a tragic incident involving an American couple in Morocco sparks a chain of events for four families in different countries throughout the world. In the struggle to overcome isolation, fear, and displacement, each character discovers that it is family that ultimately provides solace. In the remote sands of the Moroccan desert, a rifle shot rings out detonating a chain of events that will link an American tourist couples frantic struggle to survive, two Moroccan boys involved in an accidental crime, a nanny illegally crossing into Mexico with two American children and a Japanese teen rebel whose father is sought by the police in Tokyo. Separated by clashing cultures and sprawling distances, each of these four disparate groups of people are nevertheless hurtling towards a shared destiny of isolation and grief.

That damned tower of ours
I admire Gonzalez Inarritu’s balls and his talent of course. He opens himself up for a barrage of criticism and ridicule but at the end his genius wins. I saw the film months ago and I still think about it. I haven’t seen it again because the recollection is so powerful and I don’t want to mess it up by seeing it again intentionally. The Mexican woman with the white kids in the desert has become part of my nightmares. What an enormous thing for a movie to accomplish. I’m giving it a 10 and not because I “like” the film so much but because I saw myself coming to the conclusion that the film is a masterpiece all on my own. It inspires respect. Christ! I can’t believe I’m saying that but I am and I’m meaning every word. In a way it reminds me of Bunuel’s “Viridiana” a film that I hated so much it has become one of the most important films of my life. Go figure. To be disturbed. I mean deeply disturbed is a strange experience and I suspect that it has to do with being confronted by the truth.
What A Poor Year For Movies
I thought BABEL might be a good movie as I opened the DVD case and put the film into the DVD player . It did after all receive several Oscar nominations including original screenplay , director and picture . Alas after seeing the movie however I realised one thing and one thing only :2006 was one of the worst years for films ever , a fact reflected in that years OscarsI was very disappointed that THE DEPARTED won best film and best director especially when it is obvious that it’s by no means a Scorsese masterwork . But the academy probably called it right since it deserved both awards in relation to the other nominees . To be brutally honest BABEL had so many nominations simply to make up the numbers
Structure wise the film resembles the previous year’s best picture winner CRASH in that several unconnected characters become caught up in events caused by seemingly random actions . Unfortunately unlike the Paul Haggis screenplay you find yourself asking after an hour where these story strands might be heading and if memory serves me right the first dots aren’t joined up until about one hour fifteen minutes where a Morrocan goat herder mentions a Japanese tourist . There are a couple of other strands tied up later on but I was way beyond caring at this point It should be also be mentioned that these story strands are rather vague and seem to be included just so the character subplots are tied together . Does that sound silly ? If so ask yourself this : Suppose Richard and Susan didn’t have that photograph , do you think the film would have made just as much sense ? Of course not . this isn’t intelligent film narrative , it’s just an excuse to make a movie with unrelated story arcs . At least CRASH challenges prejudice and surprises the audience with its plot twists . The only thing that surprised me about BABEL is that it received so many nominations , something the producers of THE PRESTIGE and CHILDREN OF MEN are probably slightly angry about
Having said that if BABEL got several Oscar nods there must be hope that 28 WEEKS LATER , SUNSHINE and 300 will sweep the academy awards next year
