We watched Babel during class this recent Thursday.
While I'm not going to analyze the movie just quite yet, I have to make a few comments that made me a little surprised about this movie. I was surprised when they were focused on the Deaf Japanese girl because I never thought the movie industry would be aware of other Deaf cultures in different countries. I was shocked when I saw the "deaf applause". I was thinking: why are they doing that? Is someone deaf? Then it turned out it was the whole team that was deaf. I was pretty amazed. This Deaf Japanese character has to be my favorite because she represents a different kind of person the world doesn't generally think a Deaf person could be.
I love this movie because they purposely made it that each character are connected one way or another. This is true in so many ways here in the real world. I mean, the Deaf community, maybe might not know everyone, but one person knows that person who actually knows your friend. Maybe your friend dated a person who actually dated your best friend. So many different connections. I was happy to see that the movie shows that because it's obvious that it's true in so many ways in the real world. You can't deny the fact that everyone knows someone in this world that knows someone else. I think it's called the six degrees of separation...? Not sure of the phrase because I'm not one that uses it often.
I can't wait to do the assignment for this movie. I look forward to answering the many questions that relate to the prompt.
