A wonderful journey
Baraka is collection of images from around the world, with no dialog, set to an amazing musical score. Similar to Koyaanisqatsi, but with a more spiritual connection. Fantastic!
When Canadian director Sturla Gunnarsson and his crew set upon Iceland to film Beowulf & Grendel, they expected the usual complications involved in making a movie, but what they encountered made them wonder if the Norse gods were actually working against
Nothing is quite as intriguing as the fascinating world of moviemaking. Most interesting are the stories of productions told in documentaries that capture the filmmaker's vision and dreams powered by what seems psychotic obsession to bring production to a wrap while overcoming huge obstacles, unbelievable catastrophes, disasters, and set backs threatening and sometimes shutting down production.
Along comes the riveting documentary Wrath of Gods, by Jon Gustafsson that captures the captivating story of Canadian director Sturla Gunnarsson and the cast and crew of Beowulf & Grendel, starring Gerard Butler. Financial woes, unforgiving Icelandic storms, destroyed sets, leaky Viking ships, everything that could go wrong goes wrong. In Wrath of Gods Jon Gustafsson captures the unwavering spirit of do or die that perseveres in this hilariously intense behind the scenes look at the stressful and sometimes heart breaking coverage of filmmaking.
This compelling feature length documentary records the behind the scenes footage of Beowulf and Grendel set against the breath taking Icelandic backdrop complete with interviews from cast and crew as they relate their enthralling adventures of filmmaking where Norse Gods reign their wrath throughout pre and post production.
Wrath of Gods is for all film enthusiasts offering an intimate portrait of movie making with the trials and tribulations encountered, making it a must – see for aspiring filmmakers. Don't miss this in depth look at sacrifices made and obstacles overcome by determined filmmakers in the mountains of Iceland!
March of the Penguins is a pretty decent movie about penguins' life cycles and how they survive the severe cold. The penguins had to go inland in the summer to lay eggs and the males stayed to protect the eggs. In the spring when the females returned the males went to get food. This movie is pretty boring but informational.
It emphassis than even an American Citezen do not have a safe health care treatment.
The hospitals in United States of America are full of high bills rather than health care or medication, even for their own citizens. Michael Moore's Sicko emphasized that one's good health and safe life which is the most important need of a person is not being secured in United States Of America. The health insurance company, at the time of payment for treatment, come up with some senseless excuses and rejects the payments. Hospitals carry hugs bills for treatment and medication to the patients. As compared to other industrialized country, United States of America have the worst heath care facilities in all. Many other countries have health care free of cost, not only for their citizens but for foreigners too.
A heath insurance company do not play an important role in helping their insurance holder. A young lady of about 22 years having cancer, claimed her health insurance company to pay the bill for her treatment. Her insurance company rejected the claim, declaring that she was too young for having a cancer.
Morchelle a young kid who had a health insurance and was suffering from high fever was not treated just because her parents were not able to pay for the treatment. Her condition was getting worse and the doctors’ didn’t even have a heart to treat her and she died. On the other hand, Karenna’s daughter who also had a health insurance was treated and it was free of cost.
Canada having a free health care for their citizens, made the Americans wish that they would be a Canadian citizen. It is observed that the Canadians live 3 years longer than Americans.
In America, patients are asked if there are able to afford the treatment. A man while cutting the wood cut his two middle fingers. He was asked by the doctors whether he can afford to re-join the middle finger for $12,000 or the side finger for $6000. These types of questions make the patients feel neglected and helpless without money.
Britain, another one of top industrialized country has health care free of cost and the medication cost no more than £6.65. World War II has brought lot of changes in health care in Britain. Since then, the health care was made free for the all people including the poor. National Health Service's doctors are paid by the government about £85,000/year.
Citizens of America that are living without any health insurance, have to move to other country when it comes to health. A young guy living in America for 13 years moved to France when he came to know, he was suffering from brain tumour. He moved to France for his treatment. It was free of cost and he was fully paid from his job in France as he was recovering from his disease. If the person had a pre-existing disease, they would give more care to those patients. The house call doctor who takes less than an hour to reach his destination is also free of cost.
The American rescue workers who volunteered in 9/11 are also neglected by the government. They are not medically treated and due to their illness, they are forced to quit the job.
Cuba, a small island also have a health care free of cost and the medication cost almost about nothing if converted in $.All the rescue workers were taken to Cuba for treatment by Michael Moore. The medicine that one of the rescue workers needed was only $0.05 in Cuba, whereas the same medicine was about $120 in America.
They were treated really well in Cuba and their life changed by those treatment. Cuba hospitals never asked for money or health insurance certificate. The only two things the needed was name and date of birth.
At the end of the review, it can be concluded that America one of the biggest power territory in the world use all the goods from other countries but not the health care system. The American health care services, ignores the citizens health problems and somewhat treats them as a garbage.
It is a good movie with Michael Waddel,David Blanton,and Bill Jordan.They are all good hunters.
It is a good movie beacuse it it all about hunting and the outdoors so for any one who likes these things it is a great movie/show.Also there is not only one movie there is a whole series of shows on video.
It is a hunting movie all about hunting and the outdoors. Also it teaches you a lot about the sport of hunting. The music on the movie is pretty good. It suits the movie like when a buck comes in the music is sometimes the National Anthem or other some other song, usually piano music.
But in my opinion Monster Bucks is a great hunting movie.
An amazing trip through 24 countries
Baraka is an amazing film that takes us on a journey through 24 countries. There are no actors, no plot and no dialog. An emotional musical score by Michael Sterns guides us through the film.
The film was shot in impressive 70mm. We see scenes from around the world. From temples in Asia, mountains in Nepal to the people of Russia. The film is full of amazing sites, many impossible to identify.
The film has no subtitles or narration. The idea is that you don't know where you are.
Baraka is my favorite film of all time. Samsara, a sequel, is set for release soon.
