Philip Glass - Pruit Igoe (Koyaanisqatsi)

[mnfchen]

This video is remarkably similar to another video called "Magnificat," composed by Arvo Part. Go check it out.

Out with old in with the new. The footage of corporate office buildings with post apocalyptic cyberpunk sounding music was spectacular.

[CharlieAlfaFoxtrot]

Hmm, I wonder why it showed different buildings that weren't part of the Pruitt Igoe Complex. For instance, the cranes and bridge. Why was that put in there?

[technibond]

I don't think anybody has the right to tell anybody to shut up. The more opinions the better. Nobody ever learns anything if you keep telling people to shut up and just listen to the music. The whole point of the music and the film is to make us think about what is wrong with the world and then talk about it and figure out a way to fix it.

[Kali4nia92]

hey guys SHUT THE FUCK UP and listen to the music no one wants to hear your bullshit

[GFUNK714]

Everything must take place and will come to past

[Hellamar]

gr8 music gr8 movie

I believe that 911 was not all bad, it is responsible for the ambition to construct the Freedom Tower, the soon to be largest building on earth, and it will be American, it will symbolize us rising taller than we ever were before.

And just where the hell are you from? UK? Your healthcare sucks compared to ours. Sure, yours is free, but the service is horrible compared to the kind of service you get here. Over in the UK if you're ill you have to make an appointment 1 month or more in advance. Over here you can schedule an appointment the very next day. I know, I used to live in the UK. I hated it, so I moved here.

Allah(GOD!) bless America.

[Cezain]

I think I should mention that Allah was one of many pagan gods before Muhammed decided to claim he was the last prophet and kill a bunch of people and threaten death upon all those that believed he was possessed and possibly lying. It was only after he started to erect Islam that Allah was "God." Why? Because Allah was his favourite god of choice. Period.

Forget God. Forget religion. Forget what you were told.

What do YOU believe?

Morality is ALL that matters.

[zanzalot]

I myself DO believe in GOD (ALLAH. I have read the Quran many times and I DO understand.

[Soulslingerwtf]

Thank god iam atheistic

[CRAZYslowpoke]

obviously you have no knowledge of the UK healthcare system. FOX news if full of bullshit just incase you didnt know.

[zanzalot]

Back when I posted that, I was naive and knew nothing. I don't watch Fox News... at ALL. I've seen the error of my ways. :D

[AlphaRocketX]

@CRAZYslowpoke Thank you. Fox news makes me want to pull my hair out, when I think of my fellow countrymen that actually believe its bullshit, unable to see how it spins lies.

[irreverentmoose]

Don't be a troll.

[zukuzukuzukuzuku]

I second that. None of this has anything to do with Philip Glass. If you want to discuss religious opinions go somewhere else.

[lukphonp]

@irreverentmoose well sorry for stating the truth fool.

[WarriorAlien]

I really need to pick up the soundtrack to this documentary.

[GamerCall]

a gåre bra nu

[raptoxx31]

It's the Flat Iron Building, in New York ;)

[dozerinis]

im want to chernobyl!!!!!!

[hameyo4000]

live in nz....are any of the buildings left standing?

[TheDoctor342]

In the first portion of the piece, yes alot of those buildings in the Bronx are left, albeit being torn down or modernized. The second part, no, all of Pruitt-Igoe is gone and a large lot is left there, its creepy.

[SweetSweetWaldo]

I heard they just covered it over leaving the foundations intact. It would cost big bucks to eradicate the foundations, but until they do, they cannot really develop the area.

[Suazovic]

THe GtaIV trailer had been influenced by this!

[betrayerillidan]
