This is intended to be part 2 in an unofficial trilogy which starts with BEGOTTEN. The first movie deals with the creation of matter, this one with the evolution of life.

reminds me of the old doctor who intro's.

i actually like this, i dont know whether to be enlightened or terrified by this, i like the way, he almost contradicts (not in a bad way) his films, begotten more on a dogma scale, now we have a more, scientific out look on the creation. i find him interesting. i would of liked to of seen a voice over dubbed on this, almost like a documentary prehaps, it would of gone well. his work has some what museum qualities to it in my opinion.

I love this movie, i see something different everytime Most movies do the thinking for you, this movie is provocative you love and it and you hate it at the same time yet you enjoy having the feeling of your mind, you understand the whole world and make connections but there is still a burning question and in your mind and half the battle is figuring it out

@Uselink You kiddin me? I knew this video before it came famous on youtube

[Uselink]

this is too mainstream for my taste

First thing I imagined was a "insta-art" filter which applies a black/white threshold, grain filter and industrial music to any movie to make it artsy. "AS SEEN IN TETSUO, THE IRON MAN; ERASERHEAD; BEGOTTEN AND DIN OF CELESTIAL BIRDS"
