Beautiful sky! The Baghdad sky is the pillow of the world. (bullets are seen piercing through the night sky) Looks like they're firing angels. 80km from here, over 3,000 years ago, they built the tower of Babel so they could climb up to this sky. 80km from here all our languages were born. Since they tried to touch this sky, we no longer understand each other. A Muslim legend says that now and then Allah comes back to earth because he misses the look of the starry sky from below. Centuries of wisdom, and what have we learned? Nothing. You know why there are wars? Because the world started without men and without men it'll finish.
Again from Benigni's The Tiger and the Snow, as delivered by the wonderful Jean Reno.
