1 It had all the world but one language, and language. 2
When she moved to the east,
they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there
.
3 And they said one to another
Arise, let us make brick, and burn! -
and brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar
4 and said
Arise, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach
up to heaven,
so we can make a name for ourselves, for we are otherwise
scattered abroad.

Behold, they are one people and one language
among them all, and this is the beginning of their
doing, and now they are nothing more can be denied
of everything they have done to

The origin of the Bible, the film has only the different languages in common and the resulting confusion. The idea of speech-giving by God to build because of the naive human thought a tower to God, is not included. The main idea of the Tower of Babel in the society which is often used synonymously, and the confusion of tongues. This is the main idea of the movie, which is different from the person represented. The second aspect is the dispersal in all countries, it will be seen in the film Morocco, Japan and Mexico and was also recorded. But as
adaptation or reinterpretation of the Tower of Babel may be the film do not understand. Rather, it was an idea taken up and considered each in different contexts.
