Babel

For my Global Issues class I had to watch and make a presentation on the movie "Babel." Many people only know this movie because Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett are in it. Despite the fact that two famous actors were in this movie, I would highly recommend anyone to watch it. The issues that it tackles are ones to take notice to and ponder on.

Quick summary, the story has four different scenarios of four very different types of people that we find out to be in some way, shape, or form connected. There are a few major topics that this movie addresses, one of the main ones being language(also concerning communication). There are many subtitles but it barely effects the flow of the movie. Other things that the movie covers are stereotypes of people and also diversity in cultures. It also tackles the topics which are very current to what's going on, terrorism and immigration. Mind you, these are very broad topics that to people who haven't seen the movie mean nothing, but hopefully to the people who have watched the movie, you can give me some feedback on what you think about the topics that I got out of the movie.
