Orderly Chaos or Why Is Babel the Babel?


The story of the Babel is the symbol of incomprehensibility. In the Love Dogs, Inarittu showed he is a master of the more event thread passing narrative. Why couldn’t he replay it? Was it too big work with him? This film all the same runs, it’s complete. It’s simple, effective, spectacular. It’s a good movie but absents from analysis and discovery so only it is just a film of the many other ones. It doesn’t exceed on the scheme but it use that skilfully. It doesn’t show new elements from reality. We don’t understand the problem better than it represents: the incomprehensibility, the difficulties of communication, which go under the cultural and linguistic differences. We feeze the characters, but we forget them after we leave the cinema. It doesn’t change anything of the world, neither does ours. I expect a film that disturbs and leave me with plenty of questions. Of course I like relaxing too, but in that case I wouldn’t have chosen this film. It remained between only two types. It took big, but it hold small and it couldn’t get rid of the narrative’s models.
