Koyaanisqatsi (trailer)

[luckyowl249]

We think we still control our world, but we are only driven away from it - faster and faster!

[ChosenByXotli]

This perfectly shows how human evolution went wrong. We are not designed for this hives, this is too many for our ape minds. We are cut of from nature, at least majority of us that are forced to live in big cities. This is insane and I am afraid it is too late to fix that.

[zlakerbeetch]

@ChosenByXotli totally agree with you... but I do think we still can make changes, obviously damage cannot be erased, but we can always STOP and correct our paths. :)

[robbieardura]

@ChosenByXot Everything is so fast paced, that we never take a breather to enjoy the things man has created. I feel like we really need to take a step back once in a while and have a few months of reverence instead of productivity and admire what we've accomplished and get the most use out of them as we possibly can instead of trying to be so competitive all the time. Always trying to beat the other company with the next product. That's ridiculous!

[oddstardeluxe]

This film is the ultimate cinematic experience. period.

[blackshadowrider2000]

Thanks for posting, I was trying to explain this film to my son who has been listening to Glass lately. Is the whole film anywhere?

[AnimeFanatic5602]

@blackshadowrider2000 MGM posted the whole thing here on youtube, if you don't mind the periodic advertisements. Otherwise, it shouldn't be too expensive on Amazon.

[unluckymonkeyboy]

scrubs nigga scrubs!

[KampfKiewi245]

And no one cares about what the movie actually conveys

[Incroyable328]

1:40 Hey Twin Towers?

[stonee206]

@Incroyable328 wow!

[siarnaq21]

And how exactly does Fluttershy's Stare relate to this?

[MrAlexGov]

@siarnaq21 the janitors stare from scrubs

[thejuggernautbitch7]

i remember when i first saw it, i just watched it because i thought the name sounded crazy. and now today i still love it and also philip glass too.... strange how such a random occurrence affects my life...

[ClownGoombazzz]

Does anyone one know what that organ melody is from? I've heard many times, can't recall what its called....

[Doedelfikaties]

Music by Phillip Glass

[ChiQuii181]

This song rules

[ChiQuii181]

TSEpictures was wrong! @richiemo2000 was high

[ChiQuii181]

Otto Mann ate the mushroom that makes you high and watched Koyaanisqatsi

[Selkafi]

You don't mess with fluttershy....

[monstersquishy]

AMV Hell 5 for the win

[NegibozuRuairi]

Ponies are the gateway to different worlds. And to various videos on youtube.

[The5thshadow23]

my 5th grade showed me this stoner ass shit and i was fucking weirded out

[wks1978]

@The5thshadow23 it's not stoner ass shit. It's a mind expanding work of art.

[wks1978]

Respond to this video... 55 people need to stop and think what they are doing in their lives.

[wildervides]

matrix

[wbrigiw]

55 people are just so tragically decadent...

[musicpurple91]

Great movie. No words needed: the images say it all.

[ZutaMtian]

This is so creepy, gets me chilly every time I hear it.

[TheTramsen]

Now I realize I also heard this song in Watchmen, but I can only find it as ''Watchmen soundtrack number bla bla'' and not the actual title of it.

Anybody familiar with it?

[TheTramsen]

can anybody tell me the name of the song?

[Matzegohr]

on shroooooomZ ._.

[TheDc1995]

GTA IV Anyone?

[omarstrollin]

@TheDc1995 thats exactly what I though

[heidensbloed]

Philip Glass sent me here and then I realised ive seen it before, years ago.

[PrixXxer]

scrubs send me here :D

[Eli3459]

@PrixXxer lol the evil stare

[longyearbyen17]

@PrixXxer me too :D

[MrSackH]

maaaaan is mir grad lw -.-

[Tonjevic]

I wasn't sent by Ponies.

I just love this film!

[THEDANAITSA]

excuse me, is that Anthony Hopkins speaking at the end of the video?

[thenamedoesnotmatter]

Seriously all you people.

You wanna know how I found this?

One day I randomly started playing the piano so similar to "Opening" by Philip Glass, and then after being handed a CD with his works on it I decided to see more of his works and that brought me here. You guys need to grow the hell up.

[BLOWtom]

phaleh send me here fuck ponnies (=

[INEEDZALL]

PONIES!

[Ripotes]

Oh Danggit Bobbeh, sent me here. Anyone? anyone?

[MrShovelcat]

I was sent here by Rockstar (GTA 4) :D

[MrMushroom123]

@MrShovelcat i recommend you watch this or any ron fricke film as well

[SinaAgainstTheWorld]

I was sent here by Scrubs :DD

[dieKalthaushummel]

this film changed my life!

[jericho696969]

Koyaanis-Scratchy sent me here

[xHostXg]

@jericho696969 hahaha me too

[biz20]

I came here from my mother's cunt

[Takeshi357]

I was sent here by KOYAANISQATSI.

Yes, I'm a film snob.

[diablodiablodiablo]

One great movie.

[Alaska1925]

Are we destined to live in such a world?

[MusicAndLena]

Thumbs up if scrubs brought you here!

[CreamyMacarooney]

Oh, I feel so nauseous! I love it!

[MrBenCaesar]

one of the greatest things i have ever watched. along-with chronos, baraka.

especially the last 15 minutes. when they show old dying people in a hospital. that end awaits us all. Existentially absurd.

[holo098]

feierabends kackt sie



[eiroight]

Koyaanis-Scratchy

[metaeditor]

@eiroight MAGNIFICENT Simpsons/Itchy & Scratchy parody!!! (^_^) \o/ :o)

I HAVE to watch KOYAANISQATSI again to imagine what KOYAANIS-SCRATCHY would look like if it were made (it SHOULD if it were OK with Mr. Reggio and Mr. Glass!)

I can already hear the Tibetan monks chanting "KOYAANIS-SCRATCHY" in my head already!

It'd probably be TOO MUCH to parody the whole film...they'd have to pick out the ABSOLUTE best moments to parody...which they did in part for the all-too-brief clip!

BRAVO!

[PerfectGaia22]

this trailer was kinda depressing

[mdcore]

thank you Otto for pushing that dvd into the rock on some shrooms!

[scorp120]

Gta 4 teaser trailer lol

[doneplayalmada]

minecraft the movie

[omidelf]

My Mama Sent Me Here !

[GeniusSannin]

Scrubs sent me here ! 0.0

[PurpleHaaazee]

STFU who sents you here !!

[Arsenefaithful]

Eating my own shit sent me here. Thumbs up anyone?

[ordiotherapy]

@Arsenefaithful egh

[simgrl]

Saw this at Governor's School in an auditorium with 399 other emotionally stagnant teenagers. Cried throughout almost the entire film.

[henriquedematos]

GTA IV sent me here.

[Freezx7]

the first gta iv teaser made me watch this movie

[TheJackassManiacs]

Ponies the Anthology anyone? :D

[eXAKR]

@TheJackassManiacs *brohoof*

...

*Flutterstare*

[BravoLime]

@eXAKR U guys came from POINES the anthology right? I didn't feel like searching up the comment :PP

[Alexc3217]

@TheJackassManiacs So many references to track...

[BOSHKOB]

@TheJackassManiacs ya :D

[supabunny]

@TheJackassManiacs NEED THE SOUND!

[TheChannel27]

Is that Lister Sinclair of CBC's Ideas narrating?

[eXAKR]

Fluttershy's favourite avant-garde movie.

[iMatthw]

So, what is it?

[frankdressler]

what?

[sanman966]

@Smokescale the stare turns you to stone.

[mannymal1]

The review of the movie Tree of Life on Something Awful made me look this up.

[Smokescale]

Ponies: The Anthology made me look this up...

...Fluttershy's stare... *shivers* the horror... the... horror...

[fernandoruirodrigues]

are you serious?!

[1a1a2s3d4f5g]

Pompous peace of crap. This is the type of film that makes you hate all art.

[jvemPiRe14]

@1a1a2s3d4f5g thats what i was thinking before i watched it, but then i watched it and it was pretty straightforward, not exactly an art movie, more of a cinematography movie

[ganiniii]

@1a1a2s3d4f5g you're wrong... that's tree of life and not this... this movie influenced dozens of film makers from docs to music videos with aproaches and technics that you love in a lot of crap you watch&love

[Takeshi357]

I wish Criterion released this on blu-ray.

[JonasPolsky]

Koyaaaaanisqaaaaaatsiiiiiii

[set972]

lol btw i love when otto is tripping balls and inserts the dvd into a rock and just stares at the mountains and says "oooo commentary by phillip glass" LOL LOL

[set972]

thanks otto!

[mscalco1]

th shaker sent me

[JohnnyBoy501]

[mshara1]

Thank you Magnasanti from Sim City

[dinsheshey1]

[SailorBarsoom]

I'm here because somebody mentioned it in a trip report.

[ariel12955]

@SailorBarsoom same here.

[schranztech]

[abughraib1]

I was brought here by grand theft auto because Philip glass was on there either way I found a masterpiece.... so in the end isn't that all that matters?

[PureZOOKS]

People, you came here either by Simpsons, Scrubs, or a very recent MLP PMV.

[Greenscarfcat]

i was brought here by ponies...

[rockorsario]

fuck the simpsons, fuck fox, fuck the new seasons, long live the original simpsons!!!

[paterson44]

i saw this when it was first aired on channel 4....god i'm getting old!

[cutiko]

Dammit I just run out of drug¡¡¡¡

[matz107]

is this all the movie is? seemingly deep randomly assorted images? well people are idiots. always looking into something thats not there.

[diviz0r]

@matz107 everything thats in this movie actually is "there". that the whole point of this movie. and theres no storyline or text to keap it pure and without an opinion. in this movie you can form your own.

but hey i guess in your case thats not something evenyone likes to do.

[MaruTwist]

@matz107 Just watch it while you're on acid or shrooms and believe you me, you'll find the essence of that movie...

[yap93]

@MaruTwist i would have a bad trip! the movie is just too sad

[MaruTwist]

@yap93 not necessarily, the thing is the music. but you can just mute the movie, put on some tool or whatever you like and you have your own trip movie. I believe is the perfect movie for a trip

[matz107]

@MaruTwist well yeah if i was tripping. but everything seems to have meaning when youre trippin

[diviz0r]

1:38 building being demolished. looks just like??? uhhh whats it called again????

[serip]

@diviz0r The controled demolition of World Trade Center ? Is that the name you were looking for? :P

[diviz0r]

@serip yea thats it

it looks just like it doesnt it?!

and im sure they didnt use a plane to take down the building in this movie that was made before 2001 i believe ?!

[serip]

@diviz0r Nah you're wrong, back in the 90's people would use plains to demolish buildings all the time, but they dropped that idea when they realised they can do it with explosives ^^

The new trend is to use both, that way you can be sure that the building does go down.

[diviz0r]

@serip hahahaha =)

[diviz0r]

@serip lol god i was hopen for replys like yours when i posted my original comment :)

im glad theres more people like us... :)

[serip]

@diviz0r hehehe indeed, fun and awakened to reality ^^

Have a nice day!

[Fmaack]

Can't believe people had to watch the simpsons to find out about this. Broaden your horizons people!

[bazookajoe55]

An extremely haunting film that each and every human being needs to see.

[14mch0p]

Impressive seeing as the film is coming up to its 29th birthday you saw it 30 odd years ago.

Having said that, it does have a time travelling feel to it ;)

[Spackfighter]

The music was used in Scrubs too , as the Janitor gave "the look" . And the scene with the woman holding the baby was in the simpsons ( itchy and scratchy) too . But i came her because of the last episode :D

[JFKaiser]

Ever seen BARAKA>? its so similar

[abvflux]

PERHAPS HERE, THINGS WILL BE DIFFERENT.

[beklanis]

seen this while smokin weed - amazing....

[productofthis]

I gotta see this.. either drunk or stoned though

[kapone2k]

otto gave me the best idea too... that speciall precious time i take once every secound year ^^ this is now on top list. it movd me quite a bit only watching this trailer.

[Fettster777]

Never heard of this until Simpsons.

[sajl444]

from 0:08-0:22 isn't that the opening to a Cunninlynguists song?

[eriksjon89]

ty simpsons ;) same here :P

looks really cool!

[subermann]

thanks for the find simpsons xD

[richiemo2000]

Thank you Simpsons!!

[iasmaverick]

@richiemo2000 lol that's where i heard of this too lol

[diviz0r]

@richiemo2000 haha you know it. simpsons always does these kind of things. im watching this tonight! hah

[jayl2k1]

@richiemo2000 Koyaanisqatsi.. you are getting watched!

[blazeit19]

[UnknownRex]

[TSEpictures]

@NoIslamThx lol, who next will send us here ^_^

[aigualate]

ha me too

[whitelabelz]

the simpsons made me look this up

[Engaze]

@whitelabelz why?

[xpgamer7]

to make people think. I always feel nonexistent when watching stuff like this. It's one of those things that's so far from entertainment that you can't help but be sucked into it.

[sevsen4]

there must be a numbered group of secret of type of monks .

[MrBenCaesar]

1:39 . did i see wtc collapse in in 1982? or just another planned explosion just as 9/11 wtc were?

[SuperChrisgoodman]

if the earth was bad in 1983 when this came out. then the earth is really fucked up now. we need to protect it.

[prepirate]

I'm glad the film at least seems interesting; shame it couldn't generate interesting discussion in its comments.

[hockeygirl789]

Maybe I should get high and watch this again.. I understand the point but this movie was just SO slow and horrible. I wanted to stab my eyes out

[0ndrous]

@hockeygirl789 You're obviously a very patient person, and one who realizes the importance of calmness & introspection.

NOT

[hockeygirl789]

@0ndrous I admit i'm not patient at all. The movie wasn't calm at all. The music definitely wasn't calm at all. If I want to be calm, i'll meditate and do yoga. The world will never be calm EVER. so get over it, hippie.

[BebopCola29]

@hockeygirl789 In the Hopi language, the word Koyaanisqatsi means "crazy life, life in turmoil, life out of balance, life disintegrating, a state of life that calls for another way of living"

Somebody has missed the point here...

[0ndrous]

@hockeygirl789 Hello again, "Hippie", - You need to go and watch Whale Rider a few times.

[hockeygirl789]

@0ndrous what the fuck is whale rider. like i give a shit what you say i "need" to do.

[Delivered0ne]

@hockeygirl789 "Maybe I should get high and watch this again.. I understand the point but this movie was just SO slow and horrible. I wanted to stab my eyes out"

Maybe you should stab away, then you wouldn't be such an irritant for us 'Hippies'.

How I wish I was old enough to have been a Hippie, they touched on something in trying to live with the earth & Creator with as little corruption of their environment as possible, but some can never know that mindset, they are simply just too shallow.

[leverage1976]

Found this dvd on Amazon for 4.99. Whoot!! Whoot!

Too bad now I gotta kick down another $60 for a bag of smoke, lol.

[paulj0557]

These comments, or should I say rants are all pretty much worthless on this page...the next page? I'm out of here.

[Josedono]

I live in Mississippi and I found something that looks a lot like a computer disc in a rock but thats not all smart guy THERE ARE NO ROCKS IN MISSISSIPPI!!! I pity you ignorant people who have the awdasity to call yourselves bioligists and arkyologists your animals.

[mhbed5]

@Josedono Awdasity? Arkyologists? Your? And you still have the nerve to call someone else an ignorant animal (biologists and archaeologists nonetheless!). Also, no one cares or understands wtf you're talking about.

[Josedono]

@mhbed5 If you scrutinize my remarks closely it may occur to you that they were written in jest. Even if such a person existed (clearly they do) why give them a thrashing? Were a three year to don a pair of boxing gloves and say, "Alright, motherfucker, come and get some" it doesn't follow that I have to beat the piss out of him, does it? Some victories are more humiliating than defeats, wouldn't you say?

[lyverbird]

@Josedono Someone didn't get that your previous remark was a joke? Ha ha! Brilliant...

[mhbed5]

@lyverbird I didn't even read his comment, because... I'm pretty sure you're smart enough to guess the rest.

[jitcharleston]

@mhbed5 dude, he was joking. take a chill pill.

[mhbed5]

@jitcharleston what's a chill pill and where do I get one?
