Babel [1] is one movie that anyone with as much patience as a woman in labour should never watch [2]. In fact, you shouldnt even try to see the posters, or get tempted by the "beautiful cinematography", and other such comments that friends might make to entice you to watch.

I unfortunately did.

I found the story line naive, the fractured sadness of every cast member including the poor Winchester Rifle [3] unbearable, and the mere presence of Brad Pitt intolerable. Sigh...if only there was a flickr set of the images in the movie, my 2 hours and extra minutes would have been better spent looking at them rather than watching the movie.

I am still reeling from the effects of this movie. I have warned you.
