This movie is filmed in non-linearly, a story line combining four stories together from one dramatic gun shot.
Babel is a story that evolves around one rifle that connects
four different families of different cultures. It is set in Morocco, Southern California, Mexico, and
Japan. The storyline starts with a tour guide that was given a rifle from a
businessman from Japan, who then sales the rifle to a friend who needs to shoot
wolfs. The sheepherder’s sons then take the rifle and decide to shot their dads
rifle upon a bus. The bus-carrying tourist was struck hitting the Jones Family
(Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett) traveling on a tour bus in Morocco. An
investigation then proceeds of an international shooting. Connecting the gun to
the owner living in Japan. The
aesthetic choice is the cinematography, which marks time and place with simple
establishing shots. (Harrisburg, PA),
