天地仙黄

Baraka 1992

A documentary about the evolution of the earth and humans, and the relationship between humans and the environment. The director traveled to 24 countries around the world to shoot. The entire film only has music and images, no dialogue, and the effect is absolutely shocking. Baraka is an ancient Islamic Sufi word meaning "blessing". This film received extremely high reviews when it was first released, and was called "the greatest documentary of the twentieth century" by some crazy film critics. A few years ago someone even claimed that if they were exiled to a desert island, it would be the only movie they would take with them. This movie takes the evolution of the earth and humans, and the relationship between humans and the environment as its themes. There is no dialogue from beginning to end. It is entirely up to the audience to figure out where the scenery in front of them comes from.

The scenes in Baraka are any photographer’s dream. One minute you are still thinking about the macaque's very human-like face, and the next minute you come to the snow-covered Mount Fuji in Japan; you don't have time to savor the cremation ceremony by the Ganges River in India, and you linger in front of a Syrian temple. . This is a movie worth watching again and again, because there is so much content in it that it is impossible to fully absorb it in a superficial glance.
