"The Tower of Babel", which takes place in contemporary times, is a story of three interrelated stories in three countries, with a racial theme. 500 dirhams plus a sheep in exchange for a rifle, involved a series of stories. For more than two hours, the guitar feast from start to finish was so gorgeous that I could not wait to travel back to years ago and smash my best guitar...
Putting a white American couple on the verge of breaking up in the desert of North Africa, letting them have an accident and looking for help, through the setting of the opening scene and contacting the title of the film, I already understood what Inarido wanted to say.
Humans survived the flood in Noah's time. God used the rainbow as a sign to make a covenant with human beings. He would never use the flood to destroy life on earth. Humans speak the language of Adam. Later, the descendants of Noah moved east to Babylon and no longer believed in the Old Testament, even though rainbows appeared frequently. They built walls of bricks to actively protect against floods, and built the city of Babylon and the tower of Babel leading to heaven. The wrath of God came to the earth and abolished the Adam language. Humans no longer have a common language, and the minds of the races are separated. The Babel Tower thus became an unfinished project. Since then, it has symbolized human arrogance and divine punishment in religion.
And the movie tries to tell us that this punishment continues to this day. Of course, the existence of the Tower of Babel is suspected of being over-interpreted by later generations, with various versions and different textual researches. This film focuses exclusively on religious interpretations. In today’s time when the Adam language has long been lost, the existence of nations and races is a separation of culture, way of thinking, and behavioral logic. Faced with the same event, different races can have completely different understandings. Only the Creator can explain the cause and effect. String together and give a reasonable explanation.
