Babel


Babel

The film looks very simple but it is not at all.

i keep thinking about it , trying to gather all fragments piece by piece, finding connections between them.

not only the linkage between four stories but also linkage within each story itself.

between parents and children ; couple ; family...

Four stories, four families can be seen as " unity" indivdually but what lacking between them is the coummication and understanding which cannot express in words.However, when it comes to the " breaking point", it bursted out into irrational behaviour ...

The Film title " Babel" already speaks for itself

Babel: n. 1. In the Bible, a famous tower built by a united humanity to reach toward heaven, causing God in his anger to make each person involved speak different languages, halting the project and scattering a confused and disconnected people across the planet.
