That is when the only image gives the universal, when the silence begins to speak to deliver messages more heartbreaking than each other, where simplicity begets beauty and harmony? It then remains silent until you feel in harmony with the succession of sequences with perfect aesthetics.
"Baraka" is certainly the most successful documentary in the description of the human condition. Describing humanity as an eternal, Ron Fricke built what one already knows and makes us open our eyes through comparisons sound somewhat disreputable.
Time is a simple fact here is that different rhythms. Thus the lush landscapes that we are led to see time-lapse movies to show that there is a timeless beauty, unreachable by humans and yet inseparable from it. It is the same for movies dealing with our modern societies. Similar to those chicks who are embarked on automated lines and whose outcome is already predetermined, we live in a ritual commercial bartering our services against the needs superfluous. The result is a repetitive and unnecessary movement leaving the lowest in absolute poverty and timeless. However, when the director returns to our unit of time is to shoot ancestral rituals or faces of pious people. Man would he happy in the belief and innocence? Such is the problem posed by "Baraka". A life is chaotic and illusory object godly living and framed, devoid of materialism.
Destruction is also one of the major themes of the documentary. Filming with passion remains of ancient civilizations, the director makes us admit that Beau, the culmination Luxuriant and are ephemeral, a sort of transition between size and return to animality. Humanity takes this cyclical aspect to our eyes, looking at the new Beautiful, repeating the same mistakes as the past, striving to bite the tail.
"Baraka" is a documentary optimistic because it highlights a planetary beauty that seems immutable, unreachable by humans. "Baraka" is a documentary pessimistic because it shows humans and civilization as a perishable entity constantly reborn from its ashes to disappear again in the same way. "Baraka" is a great lesson cinema that turns its back on the Art Text for shoving the feelings of the viewer. A documentary and a must worship.
