Babel

Starring Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett and Gael García Bernal

This film tracks a story crossing the world, where the simple lives of a couple of kids in Morocco suddenly affects and influences people all over the globe.  The nanny in the United States whose son is being married in Mexico, and the deaf mute school girl in Japan whose father owned the gun at the center of the misfortunate accident.

The major themes of Babel are interconnectedness in a culturally diverse world, the frailty of comfort and the constant proximity of chaos.

A very worthwhile film.
