Koyaanisqatsi

I just watched Koyaanisqatsi, and I must say that I couldn't stop once I started. Not only because the pause button wasn't working, but also because I was transfixed to the screen at times. I've seen clips/parodies of this film before, but it was something else entirely to watch the entire thing.

I've never noticed this before, but the movie lulled me into what I could describe as a drugged state. My consciousness was very much altered as I stared/listened in rapture at a screen of pure audiovisual stimulus to the point of almost feeling overwhelmed.

Watch Koyaanisqatsi on google video (no ads, low resolution).

Watch Koyaanisqatsi on youtube (annoying ads completely contrary to meaning of film, high resolution).

You might not want to watch this if it's a weekday night and you have work. But, if like me, you are procrastinating on a weekend and feel a little bit off color (under the weather), you should have the 86 minutes needed to be transported into a world where everything is timelapse, and the only sounds are Philip Glass's orchestration.
