Spiritual Movie Review - Baraka

A Mesmerizing Spiritual Movie with No Real Dialogue?

Cinematographer Ron Fricke spans the planet blessing you ("Baraka" means blessing) with an out of this world experience based on earthly experiences. There is no real dialogue - this is 104 minutes of sights from around the world (24 countries) backed by a soundtrack that nicely complements the action on screen.

There were many mesmerizing scenes in this movie. From the yogi meditating to the worshippers praying at the Wailing Wall to the poor rummaging through the garbage dumps in Calcutta all the way to the human-like expression of the monkey in the hot-pool. One of my favorites was the tribal group of men carrying out a spiritual ritual of sorts mimicking each others movements. It was like calisthenics for the soul only set in a lush outdoor temple in some forest.

Baraka will transport you around the globe where you'll witness volcanoes, fields of stars, time-lapsed human-robots in Japan, exotic tribes in various locales, water-falls, birds, herds, death camps, bathers in the Ganges, factory workers and even subway riders.

What is spiritual about this movie? You can almost treat this dvd like a meditation unto itself. Absorb and transcend. Many people have reported that just watching it is a very moving spiritual experience. Don't expect a "movie" movie with traditional plot or action. Expect nothing. Enjoy everything.
