Movie Reviews of Baraka
Movie Review: Breathtaking and Inspirational
Summary: 5 Stars
After watching this reaffirming film for the 5th. time...I've decided that if I am blessed to know the time and place of my death...I want to be watching "Baraka" as I leave this world. Never have I watched a more powerful and inspirational film. It speaks volumes about our world and ourselves and sums it all up in an incredible journey of emotions and soaring insight. To watch the faithful during prayer at Mecca..or bathing in the Ganges..or a holy aesthetic deep in meditation, brought surprising tears to my eyes. And keep an eye out for the oilfields of Kuwait...and the thunderous boom of drums and bagpipes; an incredible composition. Take this film home; leave the cell phones, the car insurance, the latest fashions and the nightly news by the wayside and sink into celebration.Movie Review: Truly Life-affirming
Summary: 5 Stars
Go into this movie with a completely open mind and you shall hopefully experience the journey that is "Baraka". It truly moved and affected me, but that's just me. It could make one reconsider many beliefs formerly thought to be "right" or "moral" or "meaningful".
As one review described it, "imagine if alien beings from another galaxy reached earth and filmed what they saw on this incredible planet...That's Baraka". This is meaningful and breathtaking film that paints the wonder of LIFE in a moving and seamless way.
In the end, no movie I have ever seen can cause one to ponder one's own existence in this great, big, universe...As such, I believe every person on the planted should...nay, must...see this beautiful film.
Movie Review: Addicting Spiritual Experince!
Summary: 5 Stars
Baraka in one word is addicting! If one understands the concept that the important is not where you are but is "what's there?", this film can be a spiritual, emotional, life changing journey. It is addicting just because every time one whatches the film, deeper he/she goes and more is found there, beyond the images. Is is surprising to discover that everything on Baraka is happening right now, on the same world we are living today.
The scenery an sondtrack are so rich and work so well together that this sinergy actually makes the film being felt as emotions.
For me it works as a therapy.
If you want to have the ultimate experience go for a big screen TV set and a 5.1 stereo sistem. But beware cause you may fly!
Movie Review: Stranger in a strange land
Summary: 5 Stars
I did like it how one of us said here that this is a film made by a director who is, although very talented, an alien.
There is this unhuman impartiality in the film that allows a lot of us to see it not as a message, but as a collection of unrelated beautiful and disturbing (to us) images, all of which try to paint for the alien traveler a picture of our world as inclusive as possible.
This view of life on Earth through an alien's eyes is somewhat distressing - it seems so objective. This film shows that nature does not understand, does not accept human definitions of right or wrong, ugly or beautiful, and it makes us wonder how much our individual lives and our individual values are really worth.
Movie Review: BARAKA- LIFE INTROSPECTION
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this when it first came out on video. Some may marvel at the "technical" angle of the visual format, while others try to put the choreography in some sort of order. I truly believe it is simply an "experience". And it is different for everyone who watches it. For me, it is a reflection of how we, as humans, live day-to-day--from around the globe. It visually shows our splurges and excesses to desolation and disease. It shows common human expressions from a global perspective. I always walk away feeling humbled. The way the music is blended in is incredible. I actually bought this for my sister and father...to share the experience with them as well--they loved it.
