The way the world works is crazy in general. Who would know that you can be in California and still know what is going on in Japan. What affects someone in Texas can also have a connection and affect someone in a totally different country.
The similarities between Babel and Under the Sign of Mickey Mouse & Co. is that even if we don't know it, there is a link that connects between everyone. Here in America, practically everyone is familiar with the movie, The Terminator 2, well in France, during the first month, it sold 5 million tickets! Without realizing, I bet you could establish a conversation with someone in France even if you were only talking about things that were going on in America, because more than likely they have heard of it too.
Doesn't it make you think that we underestimate people? Here in the USA, all on national television, we name all the thing we plan to do to Iraq, well in that case, don't you think that they might know?
I don't know, after Babel and the reading, it just got me thinking. . .
