Re: Babel
Eh, didn't do it for me. Felt a bit overlong and scattered at points where I know that was not the intention. I was looking forward to this film a great deal as well.
It looked good, sound great, and was cut and shot impeciably.
But one of the breaking points for me was the use of Gustavo Santaolalla's Iguza near the end of the film. This song was forever cemented in my mind as the piece of music playing as Dr. Wigand heads to give his deposition in Michael Mann's 1999 film The Insider. The images from that film combined with the music just worked so beautifully. Here it was the opposite and served to pull me further out of the film and added to my further growing dislike of the film.
