Movie Reviews of Baraka
Movie Review: The Cycle Of Life Does Not Change
Summary: 5 Stars
"Baraka" is a film that each time I view it gets me right in the heart. It goes beyond the cinematic and musical production values that Fricke has mastered. It touches the soul and enlightens the mind as to what life is all about. The simple, yet beautiful, function of nature..how we've screwed it up..and how religion justifies the means to our actions. Down through history, "Baraka" shows how much and how little humankind has changed. Food for thought in an age of the potential for our instant and total destruction. "Baraka" touches my spiritual existence. It should be required viewing to anyone who cares about or is concernd about the "Koyaanisqatsi" humanity has created.Movie Review: Why can't I rate more stars?
Summary: 5 Stars
Tears of joy over this work - just amazing -I can't watch it again enough to accept the power of the message.
I think to give away the plot I'd have to share the meaning of life - it's a dynamic collage that toys with temporal perception of humanity and landscape in a same and kind way.
It's my firm opinion that one should not be a person without seeing this and if I was God or Arnold I'd enforce that -- but I could be wrong - and fortunately for the rest of us, I am neither.
But I am certain that anyone of whatever bent watches this, they will become a more aware person. Again, Tears of Joy watching such a crisp capture of the universe unfolding as I type.
Movie Review: A look at the human condition
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a film that actually deserves the much-overused adjective, "unique." Its subject is nothing less than the whole of creation, and in particular the human beings who inhabit it. Ranging swiftly over the whole planet, it gives the impression of what God must see from the heavenly vantage-point. It tells a story that covers every part of the spectrum of human emotions, from exuberance to grief. The transitions in the film are especially artful - the camera takes in one visual image, then swiftly moves to a similar image from a whole different cultural context. For those willing to try something a little different, Baraka is a deeply satisfying viewing experience.Movie Review: Compelling, Haunting, Inspiring
Summary: 5 Stars
The film delivers its message without the aid of words, relying on compelling cinematography and a moving score. The film is at times haunting and at others inspiring. It conveys in the most powerful of ways the overwhelming richness and depth present on perhaps one of the greatest canvases of all time, Earth. The powerful imagery and sounds give you a perspective on life perhaps only matched by the Qatsi trilogy. It will leave you still and in deep thought about your own place in the world and that of life as a whole.The back cover sums it up best, however. "Mere words do not do the film justice - Baraka must be seen, felt and experienced to be understood."
Movie Review: Baraka
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD was purchased this time as a gift. This is the 4th time it has been purchased as a gift and each time our friends share the same positive experience after viewing it. It's the kind of movie that you will give over and over, recommend and share with friends. The visual photography is fantastic and given that there is no dialog at all, on the entire video, just music, it is a must for anyone who wants to clear their mind, meditate, or watch the wonder of nature, cultures, and roam the world's most beautiful sites and lifestyles. The eye of the photographer is simply the best. He has captured "art" in a most unique style.
