For Venezuelans, Mexico is an obligatory reference film. González Iñárritu (Amores Perros, 21 Grams), backed by Anonymous Content production, Central Films, Dune Films, Zeta Film, we have outstanding with his new film, which screenwriter Guillermo Arriaga has the special distinction of being enthusiastic in relation to Venezuela , with several projects that have succeeded in Creole writer y productor mexicano un importante apoyo.
A continuación citamos parte de la entrevista que le hiciera la revista Encuadre en tiempos previos a la realización de Babel:
“Guillermo Arriaga se siente cómodo en América Latina. Y admite un particular idilio con Venezuela, le engancha la vitalidad de su gente”. (…) “produjo un cortometraje de Lorenzo Vigas, el cual vino a promocionar en su más reciente visita al país. Por si esto fuera poco, actualmente produce dos películas de realizadores venezolanos, una de Jorge Hernández y otra del propio Vigas. Por lo tanto, ahora le está interesando más "el cine venezolano que vamos a hacer" pero no por ser este un país but because he wanted to "look for the talent as a producer he is, and definitely the world opened up," he says.

We know what is happening internationally Babel. This film, as described, looks like a blockbuster intercontinental. But in the words of González Iñárritu, despite the broad spectrum covered, won "the challenge" of "telling stories and film from the point of view of the natives and not a tourist. It was time for pre-production and assimilation, tie my hands to not give in to my temptations aesthetic. Y and capture the essence of each place. " This says in an interview that appears in the Journal Selections November (occasionally get something good to take it off given to someone.)
then speaks of the advantage of being the third world but working in the developed world, because it allegedly has "gained a better perspective of reality", which could lend itself to some debate, but later spoke of something very important "Cinema is like life, broader than a border, a nationality or a flag." Thus coincides with its writer as an opening of the world.
A González Iñárritu and Arriaga, for their powers of observation and representation of reality, since even a possibility if you want crime (financial and thematically), it is impossible to lose sight in the path of contemporary Latin American cinema. Both stand in the midst of so many forces driving towards heterogeneity, eyeing the particular.
is not to be nationalistic, it is to plunge into the specific. The nationalities were invented recently, borders did not exist before. What matters is watching, observing, immerse yourself in the deepest experiences. González Iñárritu got much more than a Cannes to enter the world of the Berbers south of the Sahara or in the world Mexican border in Tijuana and El Carrizo ...
This makes a good team with Arriaga, who in the same interview cited in Full, he said something that seems related to Babel and shows a way than addressing the reality for the purpose of the script, which would be complemented by the subsequent work of the director in the field.
"Now, for example, I'm writing things about countries I have ever visited, and I'm sure going to be true, I've lived, because ultimately what interests me is the human being." (Ibid.)
According to the prospect of two filmmakers, one could envision a very different future to that Babel where no one understood. Could it be that the contemporary world (according to Augé) begin to understand thanks to the movies. After seeing the film (still in November 2006 has not come to Venezuela), is able to complete this review.
