Baraka Film:

Watching this film in class was both interesting and boring. When the film first started, I was confused on how this related to photography and didn't understand the point of it. As the movie went on, different slideshows of different places around the world began to interest me and I started to pay closer attention to what they were showing and all of the little details in the background. Some of the images shown with people in them were disturbing because of the facial expressions they showed or even what they were wearing, but I can't judge because that's their culture. I never really paid attention to other cultures besides my own so seeing all of the different images of different countries was kind of cool to see. 
I enjoyed seeing all of the different landscapes and the colors in all of the images. The movie made somewhat of an impact on me because it made me realize what I had and what others in the third world countries didn't. I never researched or had an interest in seeing different peoples cultures, what they did on a daily basis, or what they had to go through. But after watching this film, it has caught my interest and made me realize that I need to appreciate and be thankful for what I have and I also need to realize that what I consider "terrible", isn't that bad.
