Babel: Terrible. There's no point to this movie unless you can sympathize with the main characters, and how can you do that when almost all of them are retarded? I don't like movies where the main characters do stupid things.

Gotta agree with ya here. The characters we are supposed to sympathize with are (SPOLIERS)


A creepy perverted arab kid who spies on his sister and has no concept of gun safety.

A slutty Japanese girl who is sad because she can't get laid. (she is the only one I would call retarded...I just wanted to punch her in the face the whole movie, it's a miracle she doesn't get raped)

Two parents who went to a crappy third world country for no reason....and left their kids with their Mexican nanny.


A Mexican nanny who takes her employers children to mexico without permission. And later on has them get into a car with a drunk driver....then to top it off she leaves them in the desert!


All the while the movie tries its best to make you like the characters who are just well...unlikeable. There were three good characters. Creepy arab kid's dad, and The children of the parents who went to a third world country.
