Samsara - the unbearable burden of being human

Beautiful, beautiful movie. The most depressive, hopeful, sad, glad, eerie, down-to-earth... You name it. Samsara's themes varied from faith and religion to human's endless ability to destroy beauty around him. At the same time the movie showed the beauty of nature, olde people, newborn babies, dead corpses or wastelands. Ok, some of the picture series were too obvious but still I found it absolutely enchanting and very thought-provoking. The slow motions over breathtaking landscapes and nature or traffic time lapses were phenomenal. It was a bit like meditating but little too many hints to free my mind totally.

At some point of the film I found myself thinking over and over again: I don't want this never to end, please don't end, please don't end. At the same point I noticed that it's necessary to breath once in a while.

Feelings afterward: shaky, red-eyed, distracted, pessimistic, happy, guilty.
 
ps. Why do I bother write in Finnish when everyone in the wide wide world understand English? It's not like my mom will read these posts ever. Hi mom!
