Koyanisqatsi - Make Up blog

Again, an impressive art film that contrasts the one, with uneasy to digest content and music. The main power and character of this film lies in music and in repetativeness. The expression Koyanisqatsi means crazy wolrd in Hopi language.

The long-lasting shots and the slowly changing, extremely high standard of composed music creates a special feeling of being outer space and see the things happening, just everyday scenes, in our daily world with an alien like view, as if we were just visitors and saw how humans destroy Earth and themselves with their unsustainable life style.
The four basic elements appear in the changing environment as stable basis meanwhile war time destruction of the motherland is depicted by the explosion of an atomic bomb and the view of people having their sunbath in the sand next to a factory producing large contamination to the surroundings. The city traffic and crowd on rythmic music imlies on the rythm of consumption and the fast pace we live up our reserves...

The message is still clear, no matter when the one watchis this film, he'll understand the current feelings and implications of the author for the concern of a disapperaing bisophere and health of the mother Earth.
