Let the Movie Speak

(I have resigned myself to the fact that I will never be able to spell the title right).

I like the movie a lot; I thought the interview was so-so.

Seeing the powerful nature shots in the beginning reminded me of the recent influx of feature films right now that are natural world base, but my expectations were ruined when the film changed to looking at human creations. I really loved how the film was framed with the rocket launching and then exploding. The music was really powerful as well, as Philip Glass works usually is.

In the interview, I liked hearing some of Godfrey Reggio's points about his works, especially how he decided to use time lapse photography as the main style for his movie and the important influence of other contributors. While I can't separate his morals from the reason why he made Koyaanisqati, I wish I hadn't heard about it like that in the interview. In many ways, the film spoke for itself in that respect, and reading how he put those moral beliefs into words made him sound like a pedagogue again.
