This movie is a character study, not one that plays like a book, with an intro, main climactic event, and conclusion.

I think the point of movies like this (same type as Syriana) are to be so confusing and pointless that the audience assumes their own ignorance and accepts the movie as good because they can't figure it out. All I know is, Departed was infinitely better than Babel, or the Queen, or Sunshine. Haven't seen Iwo Jima yet, but I'm guessing it's probably better than that. I'm going to boycott the academy if they don't give Scorsese his Oscar.

looked damn real to me
also, at the end:
What was the letter the deaf girl gave to the cop?
edit:
Why did she lie about her mother's death?!

Assuming is a suicide note or some sort. That she is about to jump off the balcony...

The movie sucked! Amores Perros was way better. Same exact idea was used for Babel, it was just utterly hosed.

Babel didn't suck, but I liked both Amores Perros and 21 Grams a lot better. 21 Grams was the best of the trilogy, IMO.

It sucks because it take him 3 hours to communicate a simple idea. Its long and exhaustive. Its NOT thrilling or entertaining in anyway.
A movie should be entertaining + communicative of what the director want to paint/say/communicate. This movie SUCKS as an entertainment piece.
