Babel

I started watching the movie Babel. It was good to watch half of it. It kept going from happenings in different parts of the world. I liked that it didnt have unnecessary things going on, but very simple things such as two kids doing something silly not realising how they could trigger wrongs.. I could not watch further when what they did would be out. I think I didnt mind watching till the point it got, may be because they did not know what they were doing. But once they started feeling scared of being caught after knowing that they had done something wrong.. the movie was so well taken, that I just could not see it anymore.. Did it seem so close to life,because it did not have anything else but focus on just what was going on just as life is , a thing happening at a time .. seeming dull at once but changing as it goes.. Few days ago I was thinking, how we always want to know what happened next in others lives like it were a good story and we will want to know that many more times. But when you know where the end is approaching, you want to stop before it gets there, by not watching the movie along??
