Excellent movie centering around a rifle. Different vignettes of people's lives who owned or used it.
Good movies need to be discussed and Babel left me with a major question. When the father comes home and sees his daughter standing naked on the balcony -- and he knows a man just left the apartment -- the father comes up and they share a tender moment. Deaf or not, if my father witnessed this, I would have heard: Get your clothes on! There would be no hugs, and definitely no understanding. So what was going on here? Is there a cultural different I don't understand, was it symbolic of her exposing her entire self to him, or was there some kind of incestuous relationship between them?
The movie 11:14 is similar to Babel -- and why did they title that movie Babel? The only Babel I know about is the Biblical tower of Babel? Was it because so many different languages were spoken in the film?
Oh, 11:14 is similar to Babel but it has several vignettes centering around an accident that happened exactly at 11:14. It is not as good as Babel, but well worth watching if you like vignette-types of movies. You have to watch these kind of movies more carefully and think a little bit -- that is if they are well done. Again, maybe I missed something, but what in the world was that girl going to do with that bowling ball? Did not get that at all!
