The movie Babel is revolves around four cultures and families that are, in one way or another, linked to each other. The movie takes place in Japan, Morocco, America, and Mexico. In each setting the culture is exhibited in great detail and many stereotypes of each are proven to be false. In Babel, Yasujiro Wataya, father of Chieko Wataya, had given Hassan his rifle in thanks for being his guide. Hassan later markets off the rifle to Abdullah, father of Yussef and Ahmed. Yussef later takes aim at a bus and ends up shooting Susan Jones, who is on a tour of Morocco with her husband, Richard Jones. The significance of the title of the movie Babel refers to the Tower of Babel in the Bible, the place where God decided to change everyone's language. The people were trying to build a tower going to heavy. God mixed up the language to stop construction. Since then babel tends to mean everyone is talking, no one is listening, understanding is naught and nothing is being done to stop the problem. In the movie Babel, miscommunication is one of the sole factors that leads to each of the problems that presents itself throughout the film. The first example of miscommunication throughout the movie is the way Chieko Wataya communicates with other people. Chieko can message and communicate words with any person around the world, but cannot completely express herself or reach any individual satisfaction while living her stressful adolescent life Tokyo. Like when she was at the night club, she…

A great movie that utilizes long shots is “Birdman” directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu. The entire movie was made to seem like one continuous shot. Alejandro did this by hiding cuts extremely well. Although long shots add to a film they are extremely difficult and taxing on the entire crew. Long shots also require an extended amount setup time, which also means higher cost. Even though all of these cons are true, they are still worth making. Long-duration continuous shots are worth the…
