Journal 17: BARAKA

The movie Baraka describes religion, society, civilization and so on. It was a little hard to understand what it stands for since there is no voice. I tried to keep thinking what they intend to show, but they required me to think too deeply.

The most impressed scene to me is that people work with assembly line in a company. They move their hans as doing same thing like making keyboard or assorting something. It is very natural scene that we can see around us, however they look like just robots to me and seem to be gloomy and bored. I apprecitied to them because we use many stuff made by them. On the other hand, I felt blue and pitiful as I watched this scene. I do not exactly know why I felt like.

Thesedays, we have taken the adventages of civilization. A couple years ago, I saw a TV program about one woman's life. She works everyday and does same thing like chechikng poorly-made article. I remember I felt sad since she just looked like a robot, not a human being at that time. She did not laugh and smile at all. Even though it is kind of hard and boring work, they earn little money. Thus, that scene made me remind the woman. Actually, I do not like this movie because the whole movie makes me very depressed, scared, and gloomy.
