“The brightest light in the darkest night”

  The movie Babel is hot on screen now.The title of the movie refers to the story in the Bible(圣经)where people tried to build a tower to reach Heaven.Angry God prevented them by confusing their languages so that they could no longer understand one another.

  The movie tells a number of intersecting(相交)stories about the world we live in and the problems we suffer due to our inability to communicate.

  The first story talks about a married couple Brad and Cate visiting Morocco.One day they're traveling by bus through a rocky area when a gunshot wounds the wife.The husband flies into hysterics trying to save her life.However, since he's in a foreign country, he suffers from his inability to communicate with the locals.

  Then, there's the story of the shooters, Yussef and his brother, who are given a gun by their father to help guard the sheep.They are fooling around with the gun and fire a shot on a passing bus.At first, they refuse to tell anybody what happened for fear of the trouble but when the police come knocking, they are forced to come out with the truth with tragic results.

  The next story follows the children of Brad and Cate.They are living back in Califormia under the care of the family nanny, Amelia.The shooting delays the return of their parents but Amelia was eager to attend her son's wedding in Mexico.At last she is forced to bring the children over the border(边境)along with her nephew Santiago.When traveling back over the border later that evening, they are stopped and questioned by the border police.After a couple of miscommunications, they are asked for some identification(身份)at which point Santiago tries to escape and leave Amelia and the children in the middle of the desert.

  The final story deals with a Japanese family Chieko and her father Yasujiro, who sold the gun to the father of the two young boys.Chieko is a deaf mute(哑巴)who has a whole other set of communication problems.And because her inability to communicate makes her “different”, she isn't afraid to give a little attitude to anyone who she thinks deserves it.How does her father fit into all of this?

  The movie really opens people's eyes to a lot of problems in our modern world.It's just a great job all around.The best movie this year!
