"Baraka"
Film review
Baraka begins with a solar eclipse and ends with rolling star fields, likely primitive man's first hint of the eternal. Baraka tells us the story of the evolution of Earth and Mankind, and the manner in which man relates to his environment. It portrays the different lives of people in the many parts of the world which is in someway all affects one another. The film shows all levels of civilization, from the slums to the skyscrapers, from homes to homeless but some of the fancy editing adds fascination to imageries. The film also shows the hectic chaotic world of the advanced, civilized world we live in today, by showing the disasters of war, and the busy daily lives of people trying to earn a living, compared to the calmness and tranquility of those in the less advanced. A transition from nature to civilization is being marked by a tree getting cut down and mining explosions destroying hills. With shots of the disenfranchised, the unfortunate and the regretfully content, the movie kind of makes you feel bad for being the humans that we are today. This film "Baraka" has many different meanings to the sites that are seen. Its one of those films that leaves the viewer to think about what message the film is trying to send out or if there even is a message. Baraka leaves the viewers with an open storyline, plot and an open ending. "A picture is worth a thousand words" and this incredible journey around the world only arrives at portraying what makes us fundamentally human.
