Baraka Reflection

This film was very interesting. Since it had no dialogue, it was kind of hard to figure out the story at first. I enjoyed seeing the many different countries being showed off. It was kind of like traveling around the world without leaving home. Being able to see the good yet also bad of certain countries was very interesting. The different aspects of nature that was portrayed was beautiful. The water fall was very relaxing and nice to watch.

My favorite part was when the group of men were chanting. I dont know where in the world they were representing but it reminded me of hula/tahitian because we do a lot of chanting as well. I liked how the head guy would start the chant or move and everyone followed and he did not even say anything. The power of their chanting was very strong and moving. It was definately intriguing.

This film really made me want to travel. There are so many places around the world that are not really exposed to people in the US. Not only were they perfect photography subjects, they have such a beautiful and rich culture that I would love to experience.
