Koyaanisqatsi-- Eric Morgan

Crazy and scattered were my first two reactions to this movie, but as it progressed I felt as if I grasped what the filmmakers were trying to portray. The calm music and slow panning of different natural elements portrayed how God meant the world to be; beautiful, calm, and tranquil. As the humans got more involved in the world and started to change it into what they thought was best for it the world began to lose its beauty and tranquil nature. People using their rational minds excavate the natural world and turn it into an ugly organized assembly line. Here it is compared by images that people in cities are moved through the subways like hotdogs on conveyer belts, showing that even though they think they are smart and are proud of what they have created really they are as smart as a hot dog when compared to the almighty creator. This movie was a great depiction of the human life of our society has conformed from our original natural nature to be subjected to the system and are never really able to express and do what they want. This very odd movie turned out to be great and I was happy that we watched it.
