Koyaanisqatsi - The Essence of Life (Part 1/3)

[intrptr]

A lot of the footage for this movie was not planned as shots for a movie per sey, but the tediousness of various time lapse studies of things like traffic jams, assembly lines, choke points in subways, escalators, light sequencing studies in sky scrapers, etc. The brilliance is the combining of that with Glasses music in a way that relate to us the imbalance of life that would be impossible in any other way... We didn't intend for it to become what it has: a true art form.

The prediction in the middle of this clip about computers and privacy seems to be coming true.

i found out just this night about this film and i really want to see it now

the first song was featured in a television series called Scrubs and i was curious and found that its origin was from this movie

it seems very intriuging another classic film ill have to explore, the only good thing growing up in now times is i have all the films from the good days at viewing disposal

[peterstipton]

Wow, I have seen part of the movie years & years ago, now it happened that I'm reading a book & there the title "koyaanisqatsi' appeared, so here I'm. What can I say, life is out of balance. Is it because we are to many (7billion people) or because we turned a wrong way, the way of rationality & technology & forgetting that this planet has a soul & we are not in touch anymore.

4:42 to 5:11 is prophecy. An incredible prediction of what was to come in the early 21st century.

@SnaggaSheeYoung Because freemasons use a lot of natural images to base their symbology upon.

human race you make me so sad.

I saw this in a London cinema in Nov 1983, age 17. I'd no clue what it was going to be about -could have been a Rambo movie for all I knew. I just went along with my pals.

Two hours later - back outside in the dank night - and my entire outlook, understanding and appreciation of music, nature, life, world - the way I saw everything just shifted and was never the same again.
