Wow, what a crazy intense movie.  I decided this past saturday night that it was time to watch the award winning Brad Pitt film Babel, I wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into but I figured it’s a rare occasion that I don’t enjoy a movie at all.  This movie ties five families across the globe together, all having some part in one particular incident.  It touches upon racial and ethnic issues, stereotypes and how the human brain responds and acts in different situations.  It was very real and very hard to watch at times, definitely not your saturday night pick me up, but definitely worth watching.  Sometimes you’ll be wishing it to be over but I couldn’t tell if it was because I wanted the actual movie to end or I just didn’t want to be watching the harshness that is our world.
