I think it has many messages in this film. Environmental destruction, growth of population, mass production, poverty, differences, religion, tradition, history and more...
1. When I saw
BARAKA, I wonder that scene. Many men naked scream strange voice and dance crazy. It's weird. I've never seen that unusual scene.
And too many people surround the box were praying eagerly. This scene, I've ever seen before, I know that it's "Mecca".
I'm not Islam and most Japanese don't have a specific religion. Of course I don't have it either. I'm learning it now. So we think these scenes are curious. But it's a normal for them who has specific religion. There are many people who are Buddhist, Christian, Muslim, Hebrew and Hindu.
We live in the earth such a huge world, it's natural that there are a lot of religion and each religion may has wonderful history and tradition. But I can't understand that way I saw.
2. One more thing I want to write here, about "difference". In the world, there are many the rich. Conversely, there are many the poor.
In Japan, it's natural to have a shelter, eat food and study. We are happy. Because we live in advanced country. But in developing country, they can't live like us.
Though we have enough many things, why do they do mass production? In this movie, I saw mass production in China. I guess so.
I don't want to waste. We should share the resource of the earth.
