Koyaanisqatsi Trailer

[eXAKR]

Confound these ponies, they drive me to watch profound avant-garde movies.

[KENU3399SAS]

いやぁ、すごいよねぇ。　さすがだよね。映画も、人類も。

[KoukiKid]

Music reminds me of Clockwork Orange

[brnleague99]

The undisputed king of the art films.

[4closuRe]

Great trailer, although it still looks highly pixelated in my window. One small request, could you please correct the director's name from "Geoffrey Reggio" to "Godfrey Reggio" Thanks!

[SpamNapkin]

Just parodied this on the simpsons..

[N3croyeti]

stoner classic~

[pajiad191]

If meaning is the point, then propaganda and advertising is the form. So in the sense of art, the meaning of KOYAANISQATSI is whatever you wish to make of it.

This is its power.

Philip Glass the inventor of the Arpeggiator on Synthesizers ;-) I saw the movie as child in TV. Unforgetten special true movie with fantastic other kind of classic music. Watch it!

[DonDubbelman]

Put off your sound for like 5 seconds and see how important music really is...

[cCcSuPerTurKcCc]

The masterpiece. The difference with "Home" : Koyaanisqatsi have been made 27 years before. Great job. Thx Mr Reggio, thx Mr Glass

[Bratgoul]

I agree. It's quite sad that Home required such extensive narration and facts when the images alone carried a stronger message by themselves. Koyaanisqatsi remains a silent film to me.

This video is not in HD format as your title has suggested. If you want a good example of what HD should look like just cut and paste this YouTube video ID into the Search box (it's not spam, but a music video of the Australian Billy Elliot boys at Christmas last year, just to show what "real HD" should look like): JxjcQ94IkjY

[d1versify]

i dont understand.can u explain more plz?

[Bratgoul]

Yes, I know.

On the upload date, the HD function didn't exist. I just uploaded the best version I could find. (Ripped from the DVD)

[woodwrkin]

@Bratgoul "This video is not in HD format as your title has suggested"

"Yes, I know... blah blah blah"

Instead of making rather silly excuses, why not simply do the right thing & re-name it? It's quite aggravating, while spending time searching for HD entertainment, to find more of your time has been spent SEARCHING [through mistitled, LOW-QUALITY nonsense] than actually being ENTERTAINED.

[Bratgoul]

@woodwrkin

sheesh. At the time, HD didn't exist on YT, and yes, my version was of higher definition than the existing ones available. And yes, I renamed it. Any other questions?

[ilikenirvana2]

@woodwrkin i was kinda hoping you'd slit your wrists

[bendutta2008]

What does the Grand Theft Auto game have to do with this film?

[Bratgoul]

The first GTA IV trailer uses music from the "Pruit Igoe" segment of the movie, and heavily borrows the film's aesthetitcs.

[wize11]

I was enlighten.

[Realgamecock]

It's a very powerful video. A college professor introduced me to this video 10 years ago....and it still stays with me.

[Anuson1]

the film shows the world from an objective perspective,

you see the world with the eyes of someone else,

with the eyes of someone who isnt from the earth,

but from somewhere where men hasnt been yet,

who came just to watch the earth and what human being created on & of it

From top to bottom, from left to right,

from far to near, from outside to inside

Under circumstances for some this film could possibly

be a transcendental experience

[lilbigman777]

I was speechless after watching this today. But this is an extraordinary film, it is an experience. I just can`t stop thinking about it. It is beautiful, with haunting music, and is thoughtprovoking. The transition from nature to urban society is eerie. Their is just an order to nature, but with mankind everything is chaotic. ..though what they have made is fantastic, theres a wrongness to us humans, you can feel it. For a movie with no words, it says more than a 3 hour long film with them.

[krakenwave]

I saw this when it was released in cinemas in the UK in 1983. I went to the cinema on a Friday night with friends, having NO idea entirely what this film was AT ALL...never even saw the trailer or read a review or heard of it.

2 hours later. none of us were ever quite the same again...

Blown Away....

[Deptchargeeng]

Wonderful film.

[Nonoyawns]

I am going to watch this tonight and hopefully have my mind blown.

[Bratgoul]

I hope you like it :D

[paschal77]

A copy of this film should be placed on all man made satellites, I can think of no better way of letting the universe understand just how lucky we are.

[Datokah]

A visually stunning film with a great score and a great narrative (despite there not being a word of dialogue). One of my all-time favourites.

[oite0207]

More films like this should be made, the best

visuals ever.

[dianasatyr]

Anuson1. Beautifully expressed!

It was the second transcendental experience of my life.

...

But will we ever stop despoiling?

[JWL65]

The title means "Life out of balance."

[bounty93]

What's this movie about?

[luno44]

It's about looking at life and the world around you, but in a different way than you probably ever thought of to look before.

[bendutta2008]

Its basically a observational documentary/film portraying humans as objects. And in transition, shows how we have gone from complete isolation, to destructive industrialization.... through evolution.

I just saw the film today, amazing!

[stevathediva]

freeones.

[Killersepp]

I like the term "visual poem". Describes the film best in my opinion.

[MrPazzah]

A wonderful film.

Thanks for posting this alternative version. MrLynch's version wouldn't load when I needed to show somebody the trailer.
