I'm not really sure. I tend to see the philosophical in the movie. If there is a message about globalization it is that what we do effects people, plants, animals around the world ... though most of us will never even see the effect. In most cases, the cause can be seen in modern industrialized countries and the effect everywhere else. We are insulated from the effect ... for now. Andrea -

I am having a class called culture and communication at school and we are analysing this movie. I just had a little question for you, what can you say about the globalisation in Babel? Thanks!

In a sense it is a cumulative. The selfless acts together balanced the weight of the initial act. Fate as a perception of karma perscribes to a whole different set of principles in regards to our next life and not just the life we are leading. Movie-goer,

Also don't you think turning your self in to try and save your father amd brother is a selfless act too? I say this because it happens earlier in the film than the helicopter coming and thus before the tour guide rejecting the money. I agree with your views generally though, kudos.

Now, I'm going to have to wait till this movie comes out on DVD to reanalyze the chronology. Thanks. If I get a chance to the movie again in theater, I'll take notes this time. ;) Jimenez -
