    7/10. The gloomy Egyptian tomb mural at the beginning exudes a deep male voice of mysterious power, like a string of incantations throughout the film, symbolizing that moving towards modernity is actually a return to barbarism. When the string of incantations reappears, the picture focuses on a black hole, and the slow music is tuned to the trend. Sopranos, undulating pipe organs are accompanied by images of fire, falling objects and more. The slow-moving and fast-playing of the vast Danxia...

    【B+】The numbness and madness of life is created by time-lapse photography, which is simple, straightforward, but effective. And the artisan wandering feeling is provided by Philip Glass's divine soundtrack. It is another documentary film showing "pure" images, but it can't help but make people wonder if the fullness of all this is supported by...

    Nolan once said in a list of the top ten films: "An incredible documentary about human social problems, passionate but not promiscuous, educating but not instigating." It reminds me of "Interstellar", and Nolan must have watched it repeatedly, no matter the mood, image quality or music. The later "Tian Di Xuan Huang" is slightly tacky compared to it. full...

    There were three people who raised the corners of their mouths slightly in the process of looking at the camera, a natural reaction. The most special is the tramp(?) who spreads his palms to show...

    Show the possibilities of images. It's genius to match the top view of the city with the chip. The passenger plane pointing off-screen and the parts of the spacecraft falling at high speed are extremely...

    Watch in foreign teacher's class. A movie has read the history of the earth, from the slow growth of all things to the rapid development of society, its images are both annoying and awe-inspiring, watching humans deal with machines, but the soundtrack mistakenly thinks that humans are playing musical instruments, just The former is far less beautiful than the latter, and it is fortunate that only the soundtrack is heard. In the end, people are really convinced by the audition methods such as...

    I like this kind of film that can be interpreted by itself. There is a little bit of avant-garde art. I arbitrarily call this type of film a "meditative film". The pictures are sometimes slow and lengthy, and sometimes accelerated and tense; the music sometimes only undertakes repetition, and sometimes the pictures are switched; the film itself does not have a storyline and entertainment. The "boring" is naturally...

    Can't escape

    I actually had the patience to watch this 80-minute movie without any dialogue, no habitual plot, only music and pictures. It’s a genre with "Around Space 2010". I remember I finished watching it fast forward. Maybe Koyaanisqatsi’s music was not bad (I admire the director’s grasp of the rhythm), so...

    Koyaanisqatsi presents audience a very epic picture that combines nature and human civilization with stirring and avant-garde scores by Philips Glass. The documentary was recorded in the 1980s when human civilizations had reached a very high level to such an extent that human beings had the...
