I opened a documentary by accident, and I have been waiting for the explanation. After watching it for more than ten minutes, I was sure that there were no lines. If I saw this introduction, I could quickly enter the state. "There are no lines in the whole film. The title Baraka represents blessing in ancient Islamic language. This is also the original intention of the director to shoot this film. Blessing everything that exists on this blue earth with us." As it means, thanks to the bullet screen notification, although there are still some low-quality bullet screen, the overall quality is okay. There is a strong contrast and analogy in the middle section, people and chickens, people and people, nation and nation, poverty and wealth... Shock, those children with shining eyes in the slums, people and animals are picking up things in the garbage dump together, begging for money on the street. A beautiful boy who is ignored... War, such a terrible piece of content, don't watch it at night for timid friends. Panic, afraid, cherish peace. And the kind of dance that makes people physically uncomfortable, too hell. It's hard to believe that this is a film made in 1992. It feels like there is no sense of distance at all in the movement of mirrors, pictures, colors, music, etc. Thirty years later, what kind of changes have taken place in these places, whether it is standing still and stagnant, or advancing with the times and turning against the sky, I am very curious. After reading it, my heart is very complicated, calm and heavy, happy and desperate.
Peace is a silent force, a kind of peace of mind supported by a powerful force; heaviness comes from a kind of grief for the past, a kind of helplessness for the present desperation; I am glad that I was born in a peaceful and prosperous world, even though I am not rich or noble, I can still Food and clothing and spiritual wealth; despair that there are still so many people who cannot receive the most basic guarantees, and cannot even be called "humans". It may be very earthy but very real feelings: cherish peace and cherish hard-won happiness.
