Koyaanisqatsi - Robbie Heath

When I heard that this was an art film without any dialogue my first and wrong judgment was that it would be a boring film. Granted it was not the most exciting but it a strong message and value. Not only were many of the visuals mesmerizing but the tone of the music really did a great job of conveying the feelings that the creator wanted to get across. I agree with what Matt said earlier in the blog that the film really outlines him man is destroying the earth. We first see the beginning and creation with no man made objects and then the portrayal of evil with the truck and mam made forms of using earth's resources. As the movie goes along we see this "out of balance" theme with only man made objects. More importantly there is the comparison of people to hot dogs and cities to circuit board. In addition there was little as far as shots showing man and nature coexisting in a positive manner, it was either all nature or all man made, and thoughts on this?
