I was kinda skeptical at first, knowing that this one wont have much differences with Inarritu’s previous films in terms of plotting and technical aspects. But I decided to have a go anyway and I liked it, a lot.

Babel is more than another pulp-fictionish films like its predecessors (most notably, Amores Perros & 21 Grams). It simply tells how a tiny bit of Americanism can easily affect the rest of the world’s fate, thus makes this movie clearly a bash on so-called universalism, or globalism to be precise. Kudos to Inarritu for this good movie, and not to forget, for the mesmerizing Rinko Kikuchi, whatta great find!
