So, today at 21.00, we gathered at the Cultural Center, got our free popcorn and prepared to watch. Tadaaaa.. It seemed like we, international students, experienced the essence of Babel itself. Laughters here and there because we couldn't understand the film. Apparently, the film would involve the use of different languages.. And what we got as subtitle was Dutch, d'oh..
It's so funny that we were a bunch of international students, with different languages, gathered and could not understand the film Babel. As Babel is well known for the attempt to build the Tower of Babel that had angered God who made each person involved speak a different language which ultimately halted the project and scattered and disconnected the people across the planet. What a scene!
Finally, the commitee tried to find another movie with English subtitle. So, we watch Inside Man instead.. Fortunately, the film was quite enjoyable..
