I'm not a big fan of Brad Pitt and I wonder why millions of females go gaga over him so much. Sometimes (well, I think most of the time), fans (mostly female) of Brad Pitt watch his movies because of him and not because of the story, the movie, or his role but because it is him and he's a beautiful man! This makes him the subject of the study, according to Cavell's idea that screen actors are not essentially an actor. Because of this I-adore-him-because-he-is-Brad-Pitt stereotyping, Brad's roles in his movies (which I know he worked hard for them) are overshadowed by the fact that he played them. In the movie, Brad is no ordinary tourist anymore. He played his role with proficiency, with experience, and this made him a REAL person not the kind of character the author creates.

Eh ano ang pagkakaiba ng screen actor sa stage actor?

Screen actors and stage actors both try to do what they can do to perfectly portray the roles given to them. What makes them different is that, screen actors' characters are created by them while in plays, characters are already established. The difference also is the photographed presence of the screen actors who acts according to what fits the cameras. The obvious difference is that, there is a real man in a theater while in a movie, there is none. Theater is live while movie is not.

As an audience to the film, I act in response accordingly to what I see and feel in a certain scene. But what I see is not live. it is just "an event standing out from the world. it is a cover, to keep something on view".

Babel is a movie which has 3 inter-related stories shot in 3 different locations (Morocco, Japan, Mexico). Movies differ a lot from drama. Movies can be edited and can maneuver more on visual, music, effects, motions, space and time. Transitions in movies are more perceived because of technology.
