BARAKA Response

BARAKA

1. Through this movie I knew the world civilization and culture and I understood the working of nature and people's daily life. For example, Japan has a lot of temples and shrines. There are very famous Kiyomizu-Dera Temple and Horyu-Ji Temple in Kyoto and Nara. By this movie, Ryoan-Ji Temple and Hokke-Ji Temple were introduced. And a Japanese characteristic is, there are very many people if we go to metropolis. Contrastively, if we go to in the heart of the mountains there are still wild monkey and other wild animals. And there are different environment and culture all over the world.

2. I think there are some special meaning in this movie being "no words". But, when i heard "no words", I thougth that there isn't subtitle. The special meaning is, for example anyone can watch this movie. It mean is the people can watch who don't understand languages. While there are no words, sight and hearing become sensitive. And it stretches the our imagination. Without words, it communicate a lot of information and we are able to sense somthing. In point is music. Music can convey various feelings only by a melody for us. I think that this movie is no words on purpose. Because I think it may have wanted to be able to remind us of this.
