Divided and Connected

I watched Babel with my mom yesterday. I generally like movies where all the characters are connected in some way; therefore, I liked Babel. Beyond that aspect of the film, I thought it was a thought-provoking and intense film. It made me realize that so many things are complicated in this world simply because of lack of communication and understanding.

I couldn't really handle the abrupt cuts and extremely close moving shots. I ended up throwing up (don't worry, I made it to the bathroom. No Mon, I'm not pregnant). Besides that, I liked the movie. It's one of those movies (like 21 Grams) that I'm glad I saw, but I don't think I'll be able to watch more than once. My mom thought it was too sad: This world is already sad. Don't watch sad movies. It's not good for you.
