Babel

I thought that Babel was different from any film I've watched before however I was intrigued to see how the different narratives tied together. My favourite part of the film was probably when everything was revealed and the storyline all tied together after seeing everyone's point of view and feelings about what was happening and how it had affected so many people. There were parts which I still haven't understood in the film. I thought that seeing what different cultures are like was interesting for example the point of view in Mexico where the children are using guns and the way they live there. I liked how the non diegetic sound changed in different cultures and how we heard the same things that the Japanese girl did as she was deaf as if we were in her head which helped us to understand how she was feeling. Another part I liked was when the Mexican woman looking after the Americans children were running because the cinematography which gave a voyeuristic view on things when she was running helped give a disoriented feel again as if we were in her head.
