Just watched the movie Babel. I actually like the movie alot.. despite many people saying that it's boring. Well, yes the movie is a little too long winded but I like the story line and the meaning behind it. You know, at least it's not just some pointless movie produced just for the sake of watching.
The movie sets in 3 different parts of the world: Morocco, Japan and Mexico/US. And it just reveals how screwed up our world is. Just some boys playing shooting and accidentally shoot an American tourist and the government immediately concludes it as an act of terrorism. Also, this stereotypical thinking of Mexican being criminals. But actually it's hard to tell who's good who's bad.

"You just gotta do it," she said. "You just gotta get out there and seek those things out for yourself. Life is definitely a roller-coaster, it's an adventure and it's just all about how you participate in it, if you choose to participate in it, and about going out there and having a good time and good things come to you."
"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that! "
