Movie Reviews of Baraka
Movie Review: Astounding! I'd recommend it to any age...
Summary: 5 Stars
Not since Koyanaskazi have I seen such beauty. Uplifting, thought provoking, and beautiful. This movie manages to get viewers to think about this wonderful, diverse world with cinematography that is unparralelled in most other movies I've seen, and all without speaking. A visual journey that you'll want to take again and again. After seeing it, I would have gladly paid double the price. The music is perfectly timed to the scenes, and the combination makes for a wonderful experience for the senses. This one's a must for anyone looking for something out of the ordinary, something that delights the mind, ears and eyes. Get it, you'll not regret the decision.Movie Review: A Cinematic Poem
Summary: 5 Stars
Most cinema is really just plays on film. Nothing wrong with that, but when one is evaluating the uniquness of the medium, even special-effects blockbusters can be thought of more purely cinema than, say, a Merchant-Ivory production might be . "Baraka" inherits its grammar from painting rather than theater, but understands its "movie-ness" as well. It could even be described as a visual piece of music - and here I do not refer to its excellently-integrated soundtrack - the experience is a visual fugue. If you're looking for thrills, seek elsewhere. This is a meditation, a quiet dynamo that will fill you with longing and amazement.Movie Review: A hidden jewel
Summary: 5 Stars
The world of Baraka on DVD is one you might never want to come back from. It blends the poetry of the earth, volcanos, mountains, clouds, with the raw, destructive beat of the human world, factories, cities, garbage dumps, in a way that will leave you breathless and astonished. The pictures are so clear and unmistakable, the vision is given a taste of what the world should be like, and still is, far beyond the easy reach of human ambition. Baraka is less of a movie and more of an experience, where intensity moves at the pace of the clock. "All redness turned into blood, all water into tears." -PaterMovie Review: This is the Koyaanisqatsi of the 90s.
Summary: 5 Stars
Only after viewing this DVD was I told the meaning of the word "Baraka". Uggh. After sitting through this beautifully filmed sequence, I am all the more aware of the mass of human filth that pollutes this planet. It made me wish for a plague to remove 80% of the scum that inhabits our world. 'Blessing'? No way. What was shown was the scourge of the earth, the over population that is destroying it with its vast over breeding of human leeches. This DVD was an eye-opening view of the absolutely destitute masses of creeping crawling flesh that are devouring our resources.Movie Review: Perfection!
Summary: 5 Stars
What is this a 2 and 3 star review!!! Obviously the world has a lot to learn before they can give this masterpiece the credit it deserves. Ladies and Gentlemen I cannot stress enough the urgency with which you must purchase this dvd if you haven't already done so. This is simply one of the most awe-inspring things I have ever come across in my 19 years on this planet. It is on repeat in my household. In a just world Baraka would be more widely known and praised. But as is it remains a concealed jewel to be uncovered at your leisure.
