The girl in it deserved an Oscar nom.

[wildhorses]

10. do you think he gets clean?

do you think she makes it to go on to college without ending up like her brother?

i like the way it just kinda...

ya know...

left ya...

hangin'...

life goes on

day in

day out

[Strawman]

13. yeah. I liked that about the movie. The characters lives are left incomplete

seems more real that way.

Every viewer probably writes their own imaginary ending. I would predict they'd continue to struggle with the same issues with some triumphs and some failures along the way.

[wildhorses]

15. persactly---

life portrayed as the day to day struggle that it really is...

i liked the documentary camera stuff too

although i know a lot of leople don't go for it

it felt right for this flick

[LostinVA]

21. Yes and Yes

And, both she and the movie deserved Oscar noms. Ryan Gosling got one at least.

[crim son]

11. Here I am, viewing your thread!

Since I haven't seen the film I won't comment on how shallow and simple-minded you are. :P I'll have to check out your movie for myself. :loveya:

[wildhorses]

14. ---

:rofl:

it is just that i thought babel was sorta of a syriana and crash combined...therefore already been done and the origianls were better:shrug:

i am interested in lost's synopsis...

[crim son]

16. I totally saw the "Crash" parallel - Syriana too.

I don't watch tons of movies so I may be easily caught up in those I do see. Also, sometimes certain ideas hit you with a force at one time in your life, when they'd go unremarked in another. I'm all about "why?" these days and Babel was asking the same questions. You know?

[wildhorses]

17. yeah it asks the questions

but, in comparison to the other 2 ---it just did not hold up...

just my .02

as far as flicks for last year it was definitely one of the better quality

[LostinVA]

22. The scene in Act III where (spoilers)

She delivers drugs to the "ho party" at the motel is SEARING.

She looks at him, strung out and partying with a bunch of scuzzy strangers... but she has no moral high ground, because she's become a drug mule. Then looks that pass between them, his sad smile.... God.

[wildhorses]

23. yeah--that was for real and surreal

all at the same time...hard to get that across the screen but, they managed it without plying the sentimentality card:thumbsup:

got to agree that it was much more groundbreaking than babel could ever hope to be
