(as always excuse my horrible english) just saw this film at the angelika theater in dallas each scene was either extremely boring, or very... i dont know how to say properly in english, "involving" ?? some parts of the film seemed very wasted -- because they would evoke ideas, and then jump to something entirely different. the second scene was my favorite overall. it is mostly video of people performing in the olympics.. jumping over poles... runnig very fast... ice skating. it was very showy of the human body -- there would be "catscans" and x-rays of the human form between the athletic type things (which were constantly being distorted in color.... sometimes negative... sometimes polarized..) there was a GREAT section also which reeled very slowly (from left to right) the faces of most world leaders from a very long time ago up until now (georgey was the last shown) it was very harsh on white america i believe, too. very mocking of the advertising, and the "white american way" -- i did not think it was very necessary at all. honest to myself the 2nd portion of the film (titled "massman" on the soundtrack) was my favorite. if aliens were ever in need of ... say... a diagram of humans, their nature, build, and abilities, i would show them the 2nd portion of the film naqoyqatsi. it also was part of my favorite piece of Phillip Glass's soothing soundtrack. the music in most other parts of the film was extremely boring and was very predictable. also... i kept thinking throughout the movie.. autechre should have fucking scored this!!! it wouldve been a tasty job and i think they could have done much better. this should be a future project the guys should tackle. they could really fuck some heads in. i just cannot stop imagining something like a 50-minute gantz graffial type film. the biggest difference of naqoyqatsi over the original was its use of modern digital editing and things like that, which made for some very neat special effects (almost every scene is a "special e |

unfortunatly, I have not seen the film yet, but I do have the soundtrack. So as far as the music supporting the film, I cant make any judgements (although I have incredible faith in philip glass) But the soundtrack stand alone is one of my favorite albums ever. It is one of the most beautiful scores ive ever heard. |

well as far as filmtitles go, it couldn't get any less appealing. It might as well have read "trqgfodnlukewhrte" for me. |
