Bablling Babel review online
Perhaps I'm not as intelligent as some, but there's a review of the upcoming film Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett starrer Babel online and it's about as hard to read as an official Government paper. It also appears to have a very strong negative viewpoint of the movie.
Have a read and see what you think, but with sentances such as this...
Alas, those moments are also unlike anything else in Babel, which stacks contrivance upon contrivance as it tripwires and time-shifts a series of climactic calamities to unfold almost in unison -- an apparent bid to out-intolerant Intolerance.
...or streams such as...
Yet the sentiment is less galling than the narrative contortions that put it across. Arriaga's by-now-predictable jigsawing of his scripts reeks of desperation. His script for Babel offers only ham-handed determinism -- the inevitable outcomes not of imperialist indifference, but of a screenwriter's (one) trick bag.
...although the ending gives us a nice Yoda like comment...
Deserve better they all.
I lost interest reading it during the first chapter. If something is as inaccessible as this then it's probably just not meant to be read. However it is clear to see that the reviewer at Cleveland Scene didn't like the film which is somewhat of a shame. I was hoping that this would be a somewhat intelligent (not to this man's degree obviously) and clever film that had some strong social comments to make about the world we're in.
