Heaven and earth are dark yellow, the universe is prehistoric. "Barake" is a very classic documentary, somewhat similar to the also classic "samsara" ("Reincarnation"). "Baraka" is an ancient Islamic Sufi word, which means "blessing", and this film is often translated as "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang". Very interesting translation that sums up the film well. "Barake" depicts a lot of pictures. From apes to humans, from primitive societies to urban civilizations, from magnificent natural phenomena to religious rituals and mysterious religions, from Cambodia's Khmer Rouge records to the struggles of people at the bottom of society who eat garbage. There is not a single line in the whole piece, only the mysterious and long background music runs through the whole play. Human civilization has moved from apes to humans, from primitive tribes to high-rise buildings. But does human civilization really have a bright future? The director seems to give the answer silently in his way. The play uses silent pictures to depict men, women and children who are looking for something to eat in the garbage dump in the garbage dump; the large-scale ruins tell the glorious civilization of the past; the ruins of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia are piles of slaughtered. shoes; the Kuwait oil field fires burn silently. All things return to dust, is it the final destination of civilization?
