Acting in Babel

In the movie, Babel, among all the other important and defining characteristics, I thought acting was done very well by all of the characters. Among all characters, I thought Brad Pitt, and Rinko Kikuchi. Brad Pitt, like always, did a great job acting and anything else that an actor is suppose to do. Brad was born on December 18, 1963 in Shawnee, Oklahoma. Brad was involved in many school activities during his teens. His first ever starring role was in 1988 in a film called The dark side of the sun, shot in Yugoslavia. One of my favorite movies of all time, Seven Years in Tibet, is starred by Brad Pitt. He does a great job acting and due to the themes of Tibetan nationalism in the film, the Chinese government banned Brad Pitt from China for life. After seeing this movie, Brad Pitt has been my favorite actor, for the role which demanded a great deal of trekking and mountain climbing and risk of opposing China to support my small nation Tibet.
Back to Babel, I think Brad Pitt was chosen for this movie for many reasons, such as him having a lot of experiences doing movies in many different countries in many different circumstances. Some other reasons are that of course he is extremely famous, great actor, and great influence. I think the most important character he has that gave him the job is because when has grown beard, and has ragged clothes, I think he can fit in any part of any country and fit in perfectly.
I think Brad is very versatile due to all the reasons he was given the job. On the set one can see how one the greatest Hollywood actor is willing to go to some third world country and deal with people over there, and doesn’t judge. Off the set, as everyone knows that Brad Pitt, and Jolie goes around the world saving children, raising many poverty issues to the world, and being a great influence.
I also think that Rinko Kikuchi did a phenomenal job acting, especially acting as a deaf girl. Rinko was born in January 6, 1981 in Kanagawas Prefecture, Japan. She has worked in film, television and theater, as well as 25 TV commercials and music videos. Her first acclaimed movie was called Sora no ana which was featured across many international film festivals. But she is most known for her terrific acting in Babel, where she played a mute girl who doesn’t want to be judged by her muteness, but her physical beauty and how she is inside. For this movie, she won many awards, but most famous of all was her Academy Award nomination for best supporting actress which made her first Japanese actress nominated in 49 years, and second actor in history of Academy for nomination without saying a single world. She will star in an upcoming film called The Brothers Bloom.
I think she was chosen in this film because of her great acting. Addition to that, she really does look like a deaf girl, and she has eyes of great concern and confident that I have never seen before. She is versatile because she had to do some pretty stunning things, like showing off her “hair.” On and off set, one can tell that she will do almost anything to get famous and get what she wants, and off set she looks like a really nice and cute girl.
