Babel (2006)
Did this thing win some award? Approximately simultaneous stories with different synchronization points. Hasn't that been done to death in TV serials?! Sure, there are some high points and hilarity. The Japanese policeman was cute. Pitt gets the typical in your face selfish and senseless American attitude of being superior to everyone else when surrounded by foreigners. Then Pitt breaks down at a ridiculous non-sensical point in talking to his son on the phone and exposes his less than stellar acting ability. The deaf girl is so desperate for sex she walks around naked and gets her breast caressed -- ok, this wasn't a high or low point for me though really -- actually, I was hoping she might put her clothes back on or the guy would take his clothes off. But I suppose this must be the reason why the movie won a Golden Globe. Otherwise, it's totally hopelessly boring and too long.
