This beautifully depicts the feeling of being close to civilization, and yet so far away.

3:05. One of my absolute fave shots of the whole movie.

Sums up the whole movie. Man-made objects eclipsing nature.

no idea if anyone’s ever seen akira here but this has such a similar message as akira while being entirely different... love that vintage “be afraid of the technological Tower of Babel” energies

the greatest film of the '80s

@Bingham Guevara Apocalypse Now truly is the greatest anti war film and best film in general…. I get chills just hearing it’s name.

Apocalypse Now best of the ‘70s. Gave me the same cathartic felling that 2001and Qatsi gave.

@Charles Winkler 2001 space odyssey beats it. Best film of the '60s.

Ten years ago and for twice, I had this sensation, being awake and feeling everything about me was passing too fast. It was an awful expirience , I must indicate I am not a drug or an alcohol consumer

There's a plethora of sensations, from being acutely aware of one's blood curculation to the very small variations in stillness due to the heartbeat, this film brings about in me.

This section of the movie shows how glorious and amazing civilization is!

@JT I don't think it's about being defeated but rather a choice point.

Depends on your interpretation/outlook on the world. After the beautiful first act, with all the uncontrolled nature roaming free, for me, civilisation definitely works as a villain once it's introduced. Personally, in this scene I see nature (represented in the sun/moon/sky) desperately trying to break through into the landscape but is being suffocated by giant buildings, unnatural terrain, and a suddenly sprawling population. It also just shows the impressiveness of humankind, that these man-made objects can rival or even eclipse these cosmic objects. And, while impressive, it also feels threatening. That these towers that touch the sky shouldn't be here, and how things can easily get out of control from here.

But I totally understand how it could inspire you and make you think it's glorious too

Ashley Pomeroy

It's ironic - the director wanted it to show how modern civilisation is hurrying towards oblivion, but it looks incredible.

The soundtrack that starts at 3:37 is in Stranger Things 3, but slowed down. I found that out coincidentally, I didn't even know about Koyaanisqatsi when watching the show.

Actually in ST3, another philip glass' piece was used and look quite like the same as here : https://youtu.be/pTFlB7Kq34A (around 2:10)

This film shows the Metropolis and the Earth as modified by Human actions. It looks like the flow in an Electronic Circuit :) its real but also seems comical.

Well those cars in lanes truley look like blood vessels and town as hearth with beating pulse
City as a living organism
Interesting approach

Enzo Buso

@Avid Non (get it) why do you think that? I feel like he would've found another to express this if it was the case. Cancer is something that grows, spiraling out of control, and while this kind of happens here, and while that kind of happens here, everything is in order. Cars stop at red lights and pedestrian cross, just like It's supposed to.

Avid Non (get it)

He wasn't "approaching" Anything.. your visual reference is yours. Millions of people don't see that... This is a philosophy of Cancer to me... Did you see that?...

IFC's Night Flight brought me here, but can't find the Brian Eno song they were playing during the show. Still very existential feels from creation

The Twin Towers look like the Triplet Towers in the second and third shots. I wonder how they did that?
Also if that was the effect Reggio and Frickie wanted to create?

@Aaron C I've never been entirely certain if the World Trade Center buildings actually appear in Koyaanisqatsi. The 2 skyscrapers in the opening seconds of this sequence ("The Pulse") do not appear to have the same cladding as the WTC structures. And although wikipedia is not the ultimate authority on all things, Koyaanisqatsi does not appear on the list of films (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Trade_Center_in_film) that purportedly feature the iconic buildings.

Aaron C

The first shot is certainly the former World Trade Center. I believe (but can’t be completely certain) that the 2nd and 3rd are the Avenue of the Americas office complex in midtown Manhattan. The 4th I think is also one of the Twin Towers. Near the end of the film there is a scene in one of the lobbies with people filing into the elevators. So clearly they had been filming downtown.

We should do a compilation video of the last 6 presidents using videos from as many sequential days of them in office from beginning of each term to end then next president watching the Horrific aging which occurs--- Only there's NO special effects.. just 4/8 years in office.... Then juxtaposed with highschool students from freshman to senior year.. showing hundreds of kids grow up naturally
Bet it's mind blowing....??
Maybe??

@avid Non Your miss understanding my words. I wrote this during the global lockdown. The video is showing the world moving at a frantic nonstop pace. When the lockdown happened the world came to a standstill. Hence the global fast-paced world came to a flat line. To clarify even further I used the word flat-line as a medical term meaning no-pulse (death) .

Avid Non (get it)

No it Hasn't! Americans are DYING faster and in greater BULK than ever before... Think? Why? Why are we choosing to kill ourselves via DENIAL..?

Can you blame them? Looking from another perspective (especially at their time) this must've been absolutely marvelous. All this new tech allows us to do so many great things. Especially after ww2
