What a great, wandering fairytale-like movie Alejandro González Iñárritu made. The storyline is refreshingly open to interpretation as opposed to chewed out Hollywood cliché movies; the locations are clashing interestingly and the performances are stunning, not only from well-known actors, but more-so from the unknown actors from different parts of the world.
For all you Americans out there that think this is an anti-American movie: you are sorely mistaken and you only underline your own ignorance and stupidity. This movie is about how people all over the world want the same thing: a chance for a better life and how sometimes choices made to attain that better life end up not being the right ones. Also the movie is about how people need to communicate about the big AND small things in life instead of bottling it up (under the rug swept only works for so long) and it's about the need for emotional contact, reaching out to one another instead of looking for reasons to hate without justifiable reason. This movie is about love. If you can't see that, there might not be hope for you anymore ...
