Plot: Armed with a Winchester rifle, two Morrocan boys set out to look after their family's herd of goats.

In an instant, the lives of four separate groups of strangers on three different continents collide. Caught up in the rising tide of an accident that escalates beyond anyone's control are a vacationing American couple, a rebellious deaf Japanese teenager and her father, and a Mexican nanny who, without permission, takes two American children across the border. None of these strangers will ever meet; in spite of the sudden, unlikely connection between them, they will all remain isolated due to their own inability to communicate meaningfully with anyone around them.

    Extremely well put together storyline brings you into the whole environment of their current tragedies. Good film!!! If you want a real life drama, then you might like this, but if you're looking for a happy, sugar coated story, then watch a Disney movie.

    Multible plots,emotional, this really moved me. Different cultures all with a connection to each other somehow. Vunerable people who ultimately have different struggles and how one ripple can affect so many different people. Thought the Japanese girl was brilliant as the deaf mute. Really felt like she was isolated and alone. Brad Pitt i thought looked very old in this but very good acting while Cate Blanchett was exceptional and diverse as always. This won an oscar for the music and i must say i love the guitar notes and mixture of compositions. Makes me want to play more, not just the guitar but the piano too.

    This Movie Was Good But It's True It Didn't Need That Third Story The One About The Japanese People It Doesn't Fit In The Movie.

    You, my friend, need to look deeper into the meaning of the movie than just the surface plot. The movie's themes about being all alone and helpless connect Rinko Kikuchi's character to the rest of the film.

    Also there are four stories

    Japanese
    Mexico/American border
    Brad Pitt/Cate Blanchette
    The two arab boys.

    Ohmigosh this film is awesome. My best friend took me to it for my birthday and I didn't expect it to be so great coz of the subtitles, but I loved it! Anyone who says it's rubbish has no taste.

    All right, I liked this movie well enough, but the guy that says it's better than 21 Grams is completely out of his fucking mind.

    It's better than 21 Grams, but both are still great films.

    Babel is the last in the Iñarritu/Arriaga trilogy, and it's the only film that gets the fundamental emotions and message perfect. Babel is far better than 21 Grams.

    WHAT?! This movie was lame. As far as a plot goes anyway. 4 stories brought together by lack of a common language? I must've missed it. I can't believe this film was nominated for anything. I had to mute the movie a few times because that 'sound' was grating. I was expecting much more.

    It appears as a documentary more than an ordinary movie.
    Very political.Reflected parts of social & political lives of today at different countries at 3 different continents.
    Very interesting.
