Babel/通天塔

This is a movie to make you feel miserable. Babel is more than an obstacle of languages, it is an obstacle of communication, a tough wall among people. All the people actually live in isolated islands in the world, and it always costs much to try to get through the wall, a tiny fault may cause big disaster due to the distrust among people.

Different stories are connected in the movie by a rifle, which seems like that this world is still connected inside. However, nothing changed after the rifle-event was gone, and the Babel is still the Babel. And, it is much sarcastic that the world is connected by a violence-symbol rifle, isn't it?
