Koyaanisqatsi 1982 123movies

Watch: Koyaanisqatsi 1982 123movies, Full Movie Online – This experimental film looks at the world and more specifically the effect man has had on the landscape and the environment. Without narration, the film shows the world in a pristine condition and untouched: blue skies, beautiful landscapes and endless vistas. The man-made world is much less appealing. Essentially a montage using a variety of film techniques to provide a visually stunning montage of images..
Plot: Takes us to locations all around the US and shows us the heavy toll that modern technology is having on humans and the earth. The visual tone poem contains neither dialogue nor a vocalized narration: its tone is set by the juxtaposition of images and the exceptional music by Philip Glass.

Utterly, completely, blown away
I first went to see this film almost by accident. Some friends were going, & it happened that Philip Glass was due to be in the cinema for an after-screening interview. I wasn’t a huge fan of Philip Glass, I’d never heard of Koyaanisqatsi or Godfrey Reggio: but what the hell, I went along, expecting some sort of nicely-filmed but vaguely-boring worthy documentary.

An hour & a half later, I was – and I’m having to try very hard to find adjectives here – in fact I’m failing. It was The-Thing-That-You-Can’t-Even-Tell-Someone-What-It-Is. Completely transfixed, transported, for 90 minutes of my life.

This film has no dialogue. It has no actors, apart from everyone & everything that Ron Fricke’s camera touches. It has no plot, apart from just the simple, complex, unfolding story of the world.

The truth is, of all the films that people feel have really made an impact on their lives – and you only need to read through this lengthy thread to see how many of those people there are – this is one of the hardest to communicate to someone who hasn’t actually seen it. You can compare it, perhaps, to things they might have seen – but there aren’t that many to compare to. It has a kind of poetry on a whole different level from, for example, Man with a Movie Camera. The only things that spring to mind for me are Orphee or Last Year at Marienbad, but these are completely different kinds of movie, and even people who don’t like them might be totally taken apart by Koyaanisqatsi.

Sure you could – rightly – use phrases like “breathtaking cinematography” or “unforgettable images”. You could praise the music (which really opened my ears to Philip Glass). You could point out, as many have done, how the film made you look again at the world, & at your own place in it. Or you could try to relay its “environmental” message – and there are people, especially those who take any implied criticism of our species’ waste and cruelty as a kind of personal insult, who will not like that message.

But none of these things would come close to capturing what makes this film so special. Like trying to explain “red” to someone who’s never seen colours. You have to experience it. If possible in a cinema, sitting right down at the front, completely immersed in the screen and its images.

I know I’ll never forget the first time I saw it. You might not either.
