Babel

Last night I saw (alas, on DVD) -- at last -- Inarutti's Babel, with, among others, Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett.

One of the best anti-American-foreign-policy movies I have ever seen. And the great thing is that it achieves this in a very indirect manner
by focussing on small individuals and their stories in Morocco, Japan and Mexico. Of course, in the end Mr. Inarutti's political views are not
important, for what he shows is that if we (especially those in power) stop listening to each other and instead let current ideologies and
policies taint our vision, people get hurt. An incredibly moving and in many ways true movie.

I recommend it (but you probably all have seen it already). (I really should go to a cinema and see it full screen -- the photography is
something else as well.)
