"BABEL", has a predominant theme

"Babel discusses common issues amongs human" - I believe that the most common issue in this movie is that everywhere, people being people are not perfect decision makers; and the most affected by actions that we take are people around us. We may or may not have any influence over how things are going when the events resulting from our action are set in motion. Unfortunately, we more often than not tend to realise the mistake of our action after we've made our decision. At the end of the day, we must try to salvage whatever good that may come from our decision or action and furthermore however difficult it may seem, we owe it to others and ourselves to assume responsibility for the action that we have taken. It is very intriguing how our past can have a positive or negative impact on our present as well as future; in this movie, the cause and effect of ones action can have a great impact for the individual and his or her surrounding. I personally believe that this movie teaches us three major things. 1) However powerless we may feel we are; it is a good thing to try, eventhough we may not get the outcome that we desire, but; our effort may not be totally useless. 2)If we feel that we must do or decide on something, we must at the very least think the effect that our action will have towards the people we love as well as our surrounding, sometimes we may have to pay dearly for our action. Do not be too emotionally involve with our emotion when taking action or making decision. 3)In the end, we must assume responsibility for the action that we have taken, because only by assuming the responsibility we will be able to perceive the positive and negative impact the action has had towards our life as well as the live of those it touches.
