Response to Baraka

I enjoyed Baraka, the cinematography was very beautiful. Despite the absence of dialogue, it seems to me the creators had a message they wanted to communicate. Though they left a lot open to interpretation, I think that similar to Abram, they wanted their audience to consider environmental and religious issues, and how they have changed in modern times. This is evident in their footage, from locations all over the world, contrasting scenes of religious rituals with mundane practices, and wilderness environments with modern cites.
