[QUOTE="Khorod, post: 332944, member: 1636"] Last night I saw the movie 'Baraka' for the first time. It was a time-lapsed photography, visual poem on the world. It was one of the most impressive movies I have ever seen, for all that there was no dialogue or car chase. :) I saw vistas in that movie that I never knew were real parts of Earth. It made me wonder why I spend so much time creating imaginary places, when all this really existed. At the least I should be playing a historical campaign. That didn't last too long. I immediately turned around and thought how much great inspiration I was seeing. One scene I will remember for a long time- a large group of people in loincloths sitting on the ground in a semicircle, waving there arms to create a large pattern seen from above. They make a constant ruckus, which had a compelling rhythmic quality. Stick those guys in a D&D setting, pile some weapons on a hillside nearbye, and let the PC's stumble in. That would have to be one of the greatest encounters ever. I think independent films need to be looked at more. [/QUOTE]
