Let's make this birthday one to remember.

61 years old (Born on August 15, 1963)

Happy birthday, Alejandro González Iñárritu! We're hoping your celebration is less complicated than the plot of "Babel," but just as unforgettable. Thanks for guiding us through mesmerizing cinematic labyrinths—we've cried and marveled enough to fill several Oscars.

May this coming year bring you even more brilliant storytelling moments, though you've set quite a high bar already (no pressure!). Keep breaking boundaries with film explorations that expand our minds—though next time maybe consider handing out stress balls at movie theaters?

Here's wishing cinema's master storyteller another timeless chapter brimming with joy, creativity—and fewer miscommunications than in "Babel!"
