Hi Urchin, hope you're still happy @sea. I was not after seeing Kojaanisqatsi - couldn't eat for a week, being literally sick of what i saw. The stark images and the music hammering the message into my system left me devastated. I wondered what sort of person could make such a film and now i know. Thanks for posting this vid! Sam

stay cool... it's good to be human... sounds like the message resonated deeply... the trick is for us to chime together... 'let freedom ring'...

thats a good idea, its quite simple to take just the video footage and create your own soundtrack.

happyseaurchin - thanks for the uploads, great vids!

did you not listen to his explanation at all?

you surely are dense.

voice for planes? i do think so.

very much so even. YOU are the one throwing subjective beliefs at others. so just sit back, relax and enjoy what they made out of it. it unfolds a personal truth to each one who takes the time to savour it fully.

[samopdrift]

Definetely YES!!!

sucks

i'm trying to fundamentally understand what the music guy was saying about the planes and voices but I'm just not getting it.

I'm thinking to myself ... "his opinion is so subjective ..." I think that Mr. Reggio should offer up the video for whatever brave souls want to put their OWN soundtrack ...

voices for planes?

I don't think so.

Worldpeace,
