Babel (2006)

Babel (2006)
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu

I thought this movie was extremely well made, it used great visual techniques and the music was very effective. The acting was great and overall was a great film. Even with a scattered timeline, the movie was easy to follow, the story was interesting however I was disappointed that it didn't really go anywhere. The writers started out with a great foundation but then did not build at all. A story that had a stronger ending would have taken this movie from great to fantastic. Check out my podcast "Parnell's Movie Reviews." on itunes to hear my reviews.

I think the movie is exceptional and very well-made but maybe what spoiled the experience for us what that we went into the theater with huge expectations. The movie has been compared to Crash, 21 Grams and Amores Perros many times and perhaps that hurt it because I don't think this movie intended to be a series of loosely interconnected stories with one message as much as three separate stories with separate themes (think more along the lines of The Hours instead). The smaller, supporting roles are really what makes this movie stand out as they are extremely well played :)
