Baraka

Baraka Baraka is a movie for viewers to see many differnet cultures around the world. Baraka showed many cultures that i didnt even know existed. It has also showed problems that are recent around the world. i actually enjoyed this film because it shows you the world in a different way. Baraka does not have and words its all narrated by music. Its a movie that you can understand seeing different things that are happening around the world just by listening to the music. The film put emphasis on the damage that is caused by commercial development. It takes away from native homes and ruins beautiful forest throughout the world. Trees are being cut down, and the people that are trying to develope those places dont understand that not only does it take away from nature, but the homes of many familys that have lived thier for many generations. Baraka also shows different cities and the way people live. Unfortunately some of the cities look as though they are cardboard boxes stacked on top of one another. The beginning of the film shows the many cultuers and people that live in remote areas throughout the world, and then shows mass production, culture and lifestyles within cities. From the simplicity of the lifestyle within nature to the prodution of technology, and what has to take place in order for people in heavily populated cities and places around the world to survive, the world and the realization that there are other cultures and people that suffer from industrialization and advancements in technology. Torwards the end of the film viewetrs are able to see what happends in deffernt cities. Woman in china working in factories that produce products that are made for other countries around the world. This part of Baraka shows routinely what people do on a daily basis. In slow motion thousands of cars and people pass through the streets, and commercial airplanes fly over cities where airports seem to advance for the city. The film focuses in on animal crueity to make food, and people digging through trash dumps while machines and bulldozers are processing it to try and condense it for disposal. People are actually eating this waste to survive, while we sometimes take advantage of the luxuries that we have. Homeless people are shown living on the streets in boxes with there familys, and babies sleeping on sidewalks with thier mothers. Although Baraka does not have any words to explain the many devastating things happening around the world, just watching it allows you to draw the same conclusion that a narrator or anyone else would.i recommend this film to everyone. It shows you part of the world that you never knew existed, and what happens within these cultures, as we carry out your everyday rountines. Our choices have a drastic affect on different places and people around the world.
