BABEL

The movie took place in 4 different places; MOROCCO, JAPAN, MEXICO and U.S.A. Every place has its own significant role in the movie. Each place/country are presented with the different characters.Each scene in a place/country is inter-connected with one another. Somehow you would get some questions in your mind when you watch the movie its because it has a lot of twist, it jumps from this scene to the other scene. But one thing that can make you realize that in the end of the movie; many questions but there is only one answer.

Time is very important in a movie in order for the scenes to be more realistic. Time is also given emphasis in some scenes in which, literally speaking the time or the day of the scene taken. It also serves as a hint of some directors on when to start and end the movie. When time is not part of the movie, how could the audience understand the movie.

We all know that the movie took in some places such as MOROCCO, JAPAN, USA and MEXICO. This places become one in meaning because of the gunshot- and see how each culture respond to the disturbance of a certain equilibrium. It focuses the gun, in which it came from JAPAN and was given by a farmer in MOROCCO and was played by his two sons and shot an AMERICAN lady on tour. Although the movie was a bit confusing in the first but it is just like a puzzle that slowly solved the picture. It is a bit interesting because of the twist specially with the Japanese girl and the two sons of a MOROCCAN farmer.
