Baraka, a movie that invoked many emotions in me in such a short time. The selection of scenes showed me how some parts of the world is so revolutionised and how some of it is so untouched.
I did enjoy watching Baraka and plotting my emotions for scenes I felt strongly about. The scene that really spiked my interest was the ritual performed in indonesia. I have never seen a ritual like this before. I sat in amazement as they repeated the same movement many times over. I personally didnt understand the ritual but enjoyed watching it, as for the tribe it most probably had great meaning and depth.
Another scene that I felt intrigued about was the aborigional body art. There was two aboriginal men performing a historic ritual, but with a twist. They used modern technology to improve the way they painted the art on their bodies. They used a comb, something I couldn't understand. Such an ancient ritual performed by men who probably have normal jobs.
The two scenes in the whole movie I really couldn't stand watching, was the baby chickens scene and the donkeys pulling the huge crate. The baby chickens scene I ranked number ten. Not out of appreciation but out of sympathy. Watching the sorting of the baby chickens made me so mad. I hated the people who worked there and could actually do that to poor little defenceless chickens. Even though it was their job it was still extremely cruel. The second scene I actually couldn't bring myself to watch, was when the donkeys had to pull extreme amounts of weight that their legs crippled under them. I felt such sympathy for those animals. Being forced to do something against their will.
A scene that I was so amazed about in Baraka was towards the end, it showed us inside a foreign temple that was covered in glittering glass and diamonds. I loved the design, high temple walls and curvey shaped doorways covered completely, in what looke like diamonds. I found it so extravagent that people would do that.
Overall I loved exploring places in the world. I felt like, in some points, that I was there, looking around at the natural and man-made pieces of art. I had no idea how most cultures worked, they are all so different. I feel so sheltered in life, not knowing what is really out in the world. I would one day like to explore the places the video showed me. I learnt a lot about the world in such a short space of time. I also really appreciated the fact that the whole movie had no dialogue, just music that made the scenes have more depth.
