Babal

[claudett0829]

Call me a philistine, but that was over 2 and half hours of my life I'll never get back!

 

[Cesia R]

Do you mean BABEL?

 

[rmehelba]

You're a philistine.



I loved it. I've had a really short attention span lately, but that managed to keep me hooked the whole way through.

 

[lady_armand2]

Yeah. Must have been thinking of Banal for some reason.

 

[Out of Kool-Aid?]

I hated it. Tedious, pointless and convoluted.

Shame, as I loved Amores Perros and liked 21 Grams too.

 

[wagEr]

Oh gawd spare us from this ridiculous, pithy and overused cliche.

You did not like the film - OK. We get it.

Never seen it myself, but I really, really hate that 'I want my life back Mr Director' comment...it should be made illegal, and indeed ceased to be in any way funny or clever about 5 years ago.

I thought it was riveting, deserving of the Oscar it received. I would like to have seen the children being rescued from the desert, as I wasn't sure the policeman was telling the truth about them being found. An intriguing story about innocence, trauma and vulnerability
