The World is a Beautiful Place

… or is it really?

The segment above was taken from Baraka, a documentary I’d seen during a research for one of my final year project in university.

Baraka is a movie that was filmed at 152 locations of 24 countries: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Cambodia, China, Ecuador, Egypt, France, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Iran, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Kuwait, Nepal, Poland, Saudi Arabia, Tanzania, Thailand, Turkey, and the United States. It contains no dialogue. Instead of a story or plot, the film uses themes to present new perspectives and evoke emotion purely through cinema. The film was the first in over twenty years to be photographed in the 70mm Todd-AO format (Wikipedia).

    Indeed!

    So you love to view the world from YouTube videos, huh? :P

    Yes, I do. In fact, all of us do it – it’s the cheapest way to view the world without ever having to step on a plane!

    It’s human greedines that makes the world a place we can (soon) no longer live in. Sad.

    Ther, aku lebih terlambat lagi dari boy.
    But it’s real, wish that we can live in that perfect harmony :-( just as the film taken.

    Wondering, how come people can’t see how beautiful they are through the differences

    tere616´s last blog post..Seeing The Unseen – part 2

    I wonder about that too. Indonesians used to thrive on their differences and diversities, but now they fear the very essence of what makes Indonesia special – since when?
