Questions for Babel


Here are some questions for the film 'Babel:'


  1. What is your favourite 'story' and why?

  2. How are the characters' lives/stories related in the plot?

  3. What evidence do we find that Susan has experienced a miscarriage or similar tragedy?

  4. Are children capable of evil, or are they just unaware of consequences? If they behave evil, what has made them that way? (eg would the young lad still be evil if a gun was not placed in his care? [that is, IF he is actually evil])

  5. Several different cultures are explored in this film. How do they differ? How are they similar? Can you find one thing that is similar to all cultures? (hint: children)

  6. How far are the settings integral to the plot (think of the setting as a character)?

  7. How is love represented in different forms in this film?

  8. Is Brad Pitt more or less of a hunk in this film? ;) Seriously though, what makes Richard a good husband?
