Good movie, though I didn't like the extended action sequence at the end. Seemed kind of pointless, and bored me.
A lot of people like Roger Ebert praised it for being original; but it was pretty much the same concept as the Matrix (a world in our minds which seems real but is actually manufactured while we're in a sleep-like state). They even have all of the gravity-defying, running-up-the-walls-and-flip-at-odd-angles thing. And just like the Matrix, if you die in the dream world, you die in the real world as well.
Again, it was a good movie. Not something I'd want to see again, though.

Most of the actors played multiple roles as the movie unfolds through 6 different eras. Do not fall asleep watching this, you will wake up wondering if you're watching the same movie.
Just watched it again...still don't get it. Is it deep, or is it just up it's own arse?
Good movie though.
Originally posted by Suziannewill check it out. Babel is quite deep. I ended up feeling sorry for the little Japanese girl in the end.

Quite a good movie.

Thank you for clarifying.
