Those shimmering shots of Tokyo were awe-inspiring, as was the work in the desert. <BR/><BR/>Probably all CGI.Geoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08318168982080987586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358931.post-3981748527343888282007-04-18T13:33:00.000-04:002007-04-18T13:33:00.000-04:00I didn't hate this movie, but the only thing inter...I didn't hate this movie, but the only thing interesting to me was the cinematography. I wonder how they got the tones and colors, especially in the desert. In another lifetime, I would have interned with Sven Nykvist, and become a cameraman in Hollywood. Sometimes I watch a film with the sound off altogether, and just pay attention to the structure as revealed through lens focus and cross-cutting.<BR/><BR/>The plot of Babel was laughable though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358931.post-6157852396434278402007-04-18T06:43:00.000-04:002007-04-18T06:43:00.000-04:00Oh--and the scene with the woman in red dress and ...Oh--and the scene with the woman in red dress and heels in the desert?

Reminds me of people who put a yellow "support the troops" ribbon on their car: narrowing down the whole world's situation into a fucking bumper sticker, and then smugly driving around with it as though you've now done your part. Everything this shittily-acted B-movie had to say was either obvious, false, or pea-brained.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
