Baraka

Baraka is a movie filled with high expectation of nature and how humans are part of it. It shows a great experience of human interacting with each other as one with salad of cultures mixed together bringing peace and love. It shows how beautiful this world is in the planes in Africa, in the Amazons river, in the jungle, in the big cities like: Tokyo, New York, etc. the movie is a picture perfect how the movement of pictures and clips from all around the world enclosed in a movie that is magnificent. How different is world all around from factories to the jungle with Indians in their tribes doing their dances and their foods. The movie has an amazing picture in what was the past compared to the present and how there are still people living in the past and not in the present. It is heart breaking the people who look for food in the trash; it is grotesque and vulgar how people live in this world the low standards and the high quality of living. It is shocking looking at these tribes and its housing, and the way of living in those places with animals in the wild. Dangerous lives of these people but they learn how to live and manage to get food and water, and all the needs a human need to survive in this world.

Some scenes were: a valley of huge mountains wrinkled with snow, very big and sharp looking edges at the top of the mountain, a monkey taking a hot bath, a solar eclipse, a town probably in the Middle East looks really old. Some people are cleaning the streets, some caring a load of goods, Monks praying and meditating, a old man reading a book with really long Rastafarian hair. A group of Jews with their hats on the head praying, a group of Buddhist praying, a silver huge door comes up with a lock, which a lady starts kissing, a priest with the “fumarola” which is a cup looking thing that has smoke coming out of it, and it sings from side to side. A Buddhist that is lighting a plethora of candles. A lost city in the middle of no were with hieroglyphist, a lot of people screaming weird things razing their hands like crazy people, they are shirtless with red ropes and they are following everything this bald guy is doing. A volcano appears with an immense hole and smoke coming out, lava is also coming out and it is real really hot. The power of waves pondering the force against the rocks. Iguanas chilling in the sun. a bulk of sand and rock mountain in the middle of the savanna, some Indians with paint on their faces, they are naked in the middle of the jungle. A waterfall with an amazing force of the water splashing against the rock and in the mist it forms a rainbow. Women rolling up tobacco to make cigarettes. Some Chinese people coming out of the subway. A Chinese with a hat and a bell that he hits every time he walks.
