Samsara
« on: September 16, 2012, 02:50:08 AM »
 Today I watched movie Samsara  , from the makers of Baraka.  Great word less movie. It travels through  mechanization of modern life with out words  with just films and music. It starts rather slowly from  lonely Buddhist monastery  to African remote primitive mankind to modern electric cities to various assembly lines - electronics factories,chicken, cow, pig, grocery, trash, religious ritual assembly lines etc.  It is breathtaking. Many times I felt appalled at the state of human condition.
“In the life of warriors it was extremely natural to be sad for no overt reason. Whenever the boundaries of the known are broken, a mere glimpse of the eternity outside is enough to disrupt the coziness of our controlled awareness. The best way to get rid of melancholy is to make fun of it.”(carlos)

sure  you can attach.

I watched the movie in theater in US.  The movie content in your link is not there in the movie I saw. I glanced other uploaded samsara movies in you tube, that content is also not there in the movie. so I assume they mix matched the movie contents and released in different regions with different sequences and contents at different times.

Release
Samsara premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2011. Oscilloscope Laboratories acquired in March 2012 the rights to distribute Samsara in the United States.[6] The film had a limited release in two theaters on August 24, 2012. By its fourth weekend, Samsara had expanded to 25 theaters. To date, it has grossed $482,610.[1]
 

some of the you video's dated back  Jan 2012 and there is some confusion whether it is the same movie or not.  I think it is the same makers based on style of making. one video says made by pan nalin's movie.  May need some digging to make out.
