Movie Reviews of Baraka
Movie Review: All this hype for a screeen-saver ???
Summary: 1 Stars
You see, certain images will always have great emotional impact on people, no matter how many times we've seen them. Can a normal person, for example, stay emotionless while watching piles of human bones in a Nazi concentration camp? Or watching mount Everest at sunset?
Baraka is a 90min collage of such images and the result is a great ... screen-saver.
That's right, this is not a movie - unless, of course, you consider footage from a security camera to be a movie too.
Some of the images in Baraka are quite good, actually.
What's cracking me up is the primitive humanitarian messages that the 'director' (not worth mentioning his name) has devised. For example, an image of a busy NYC intersection is followed by an image of a solemn Buddha monastery. Got it? The arrangement is very suggestive:
Western Civilization = BAD
Eastern Spirituality = GOOD
