Baraka

I thought this film was educational about society, religion, human life (poverty/civilized) as well animals I thought this film was very environmental, showing many elements of nature. The movie, though it doesn't have any words, shows us life through pictures. It showed viewers that many people around the world have different views and aspects on life; not any of them being wrong.

I liked how in the beginning of the movie, it shows viewers morning elements; as in landscapes (waterfalls, lakes, people praying). I also liked seeing the group of men at some sort of dance/ritual. It proves that people have different ways of expressing their faith. Not everyone goes to a church to pray or say the rosary, but can do dances or sing songs.

One scene that really hit me was the scene of new york. While watching the movie, I saw that everything was moving in fast pace. I thought it was funny because in actuality, Americans move at a fast pace all the time and don't take the time to actually appreciate what they have.

Overall, the film made me realize that many people around the world have a variety of ways to do things that are different from me. Different doesn't necessarily mean weird or wrong, and I am glad I got the chance to watch this movie.
