Baraka basically means, "blessing". Watching this movie, I can actually identify what is happening. How the world begins from scratch. Humans did not have the technology that they have today. We begin everything from a very basic stage. The movie shows how the world begins, how civilisation slowly develops, modernisation happens, war outbreaks, and death. It's also symbolic to a life cycle: We were born pure and innocent. We also grow up learning how to live. At a certain point of time, we are finally being able to stand on our own and make own decisions, and at times we also made mistakes that has caused us a precious loss. Finally, the inevitable stage of life, which is death. When we die, only memories of us will remain in the hearts of those who remember us. Baraka also shows how people from different religions and beliefs perform various prayers and rituals to seek blessings from God. The unique thing about it is that, no matter in what era we live in, the prayers and rituals still remain and practised by the believers. How they perform their rituals and prayers may differ from one another but their motives are the same; to seek God's blessings. This shows that, we are all the same and there is no reason for us to discriminate one another at all. Every religion teaches us good things, and no religion will ever teach its believers terrorism.
