I feel like Reggio’s Koyaanisqatsi was an extremely strong film. The scenes were utterly breathtaking. I do, however, have to agree with Stewart who said he found the film to be longer than necessary. I feel like such a strong point could have easily been conveyed just as well in 10 minutes rather than eighty seven. I really enjoyed Reggio’s use of time lapse and camera angles. The film made me feel so small an insignificant. Lots of shots from the bottom pointing up made the buildings and landmarks seem looming and powerful. He made the ocean and the sky seem endless. Some shots reminded me of the old movie advertisements that made you feel like you were on a space ship as he offered birds eye views rolling across huge plains and bodies of water. His use of time lapse is also very instrumental throughout the film. It makes the clouds appear to be big fluffy pillows rolling along and cars and people appear to be tiny ants scurrying about their every day business. Sometimes it is easy to feel like we are the center of the world and become wrapped up in all of our own issues but shots like these really put into perspective how small we actually are in the grand scheme of things.
