    The silent nature, the collapsed building after the blast, the mechanically numb life, the parts of the burning spaceship falling in the air, everything in the world is speeding up, the traffic is busy, the crowd melts the beating notes in the symphony, God From the perspective, everything becomes out of balance in the 86-minute...

    Somehow, I feel – I know, that this film (not the director) must have seen through all enigmas of humanity. It's trying to convey to us the answers. It's overwhelming. The sheer scale and penetration of it. I was stunned. Stupefied . Lost words. Great sadness surged through me as I watch Koyaanisqatsi. Has life ever been in...

    When everything loses its shape similar to nature, our life has lost its original balance, and there is only a so-called aesthetic balance imposed by ourselves, which I prefer to call it robotize...

    If we saw this movie in 1983, we would be amazed and envious of such developed science, technology and material life in the West. How ridiculous it seems now. As in the 1980s in the United States, we are now living a mechanical...

    Aspects of America in the 1980s of Industrial Civilization. The progress of science and technology makes people feel that it is not the future of mankind, but the end of the day, the prophecy of the Indians. Glass's soundtrack...

    Prince Charles Cinema. Nature, life, explosion, industry, assembly line, man and city, fall. The theme is clear, the viewing is high, and it is not dull. It's really amazing to be made in that era. But the theme is still too...

    Awesome! The use of lens language and the rhythm of the music are perfectly matched, and several sets of contrasting shots are very shocking. With the conversion of shots, the sound is sometimes dull, sometimes manic, and sometimes completely still, just like life. The curtain reflects the clouds, like a dream, people run wildly like a machine to an imbalance, the riots in New York in 1977, doomsday...

    Imbalance is also normal

    When a friend recommended me to watch it, I felt that I could not make a grand narrative poem. After reading it, the interpretation of the theme is a lot, it can be grand, it can be very limited, and it is limited to the natural scenery of the United States and American society.

    The lens language in...

    Seeing this name is like a magnificent epic

    1. In the
            whole movie, the information that the audience gets except the title of the movie is the audio-visual experience, there is no story without explanation, and everything is left to you to interpret. So I just talk about my own understanding. Of course, for this kind of unclear...
