I'M EXHAUSTED

Thought it was time to review another movie on my top ten list from January. I finally watched Babel and there is no better way to describe how I feel. I am drained and very envious. Guillermo Arriaga has done it again. If I could learn screenwriting from anyone, it would be this man. He has the ability to weave such amazing stories. I have seen two of the three films he has done with Alejandro Inarritu (this and 21 Grams) and they have both left me feeling the same way. Each deals with the Butterfly Effect, but Babel takes it a global level. The entire film revolves around one act. An act intended as gratitude which ultimately destroys numerous lives all around the world. I don't quite know what else to say except this film needs to be watched. All I can say is I was right. This is one of the best films of 2006.

Sorry this review is so short, but I think I need to absorb it more before I can express better what it meant to me.
