This movie is new to me like the title of movie ‘KOYAANISQATSI’. The first thing that I impressed is the music without narration but repeat the word ‘Koyaanisqats’. It reminded me the theme song for mystery movie. It is difficult to concentrate without story but, it shows awesome scenes virtually.
This movie suggests another view of direction of architecture and nature in detail. Especially the contrast of two things between static things and dynamic things were impressive to watch. For instance, the static rocks and the moving clouds, high-rise buildings and moving clouds, tight shot of people’s faces and the passing underground, etc.
Also, I like the scenes seem like patterns. When the camera passing through the field, it looks like a striped fabric. Then the parking lot with cars of different colour and tank in straight rows were nice too.
Moreover, some scenes reminded me the image of city such as ruined city, an expressionless face and mechanical manufacturing processes. It is like Korea’s 60’s and 70’s history as a developing country.
The scene that people was passing the underground entrance constantly was a very sectional image but, I felt it is the liveliness of the city itself.
At last, becoming silent, the scene overlapping between city map by bird’s eye view and plan of machine might well imply how people feel the city.
From this movie, I do not know what ‘the life out of balance’ is exactly but I could get some idea through the fabulous scenes and also it makes me think of the city and life.
It's intersting that you saw the film in a positive way, and were not depressed with how humans are ruining the natural landscape etc. You just saw it as an accurate representation of how things are.
