It was made awhile ago, but if your into amazing images/videos it might suit. Also alot of music by the Dead Can Dance, namely Lisa Gerard, you'll recall her voice from the film Gladiator (Hanz Zimmer).

What would be cool is if anyone seen some of these places, I'd love to go to the place with all the airplanes lined up I think they are old B-52's ?? Take note of the music at that part ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Qd8Rhog … re=related <<< Planes lots of em !!


The word Baraka means "blessing" in several languages; watching this film, the viewer is blessed with a dazzling barrage of images that transcend language. Filmed in 24 countries and set to an ever-changing global soundtrack, the movie draws some surprising connections between various peoples and the spaces they inhabit, whether that space is a lonely mountaintop or a crowded cigarette factory.

Some of these attempts at connection are more successful than others: for instance, an early sequence segues between the daily devotions of Tibetan monks, Orthodox Jews, and whirling dervishes, finding more similarity among these rituals than one might expect. And there are other amazing moments, as when sped-up footage of a busy Hong Kong intersection reveals a beautiful symmetry to urban life that could only be appreciated from the perspective of film.

The lack of context is occasionally frustrating--not knowing where a section was filmed, or the meaning of the ritual taking place--and some of the transitions are puzzling. However, the DVD includes a short behind-the-scenes featurette in which cinematographer Ron Fricke (Koyaanisqatsi) explains that the effect was intentional: "It's not where you are that's important, it's what's there." And what's here, in Baraka, is a whole world summed up in 104 minutes.

That movie is pretty cool. If you like it, you should watch Koyaanisqatsi, it's much more powerful and meaningful IMO.

And whaddayaknow, the entire movie is up on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sps6C9u7ras
