The New World (no spoiler), a kaleidoscopic, koyaanasquatsi-esque...

[bridgit]

http://www.thenewworldmovie.com display of paced cinematic poetry laced round Horner's exquisite soundtrack, and Malick's grand sense of artisan & collaboration; panoramic, pastoral, hypnotic, beautiful, and sad in it's sweep of what still passes for 'nation building' = a foray of indentured individuals with crooked teeth spitting on their own lips in the process of oppressing the noble inhabitants of another land while unable to fend truly for themselves; to be followed by the bejeweled, the embroidered, and the detailed 'aristocracy' peering down their noses onto prince & princess alike...we liked it

5. Koyaanisqatsi - dude, you're the perfectly balanced one.

Check it out! One of the most brilliant movies, and brilliant soundtracks, ever done.

I've seen it performed live a number of times; always amazing.

Film by Godfrey Reggio, music by Philip Glass.

You have heard some of the music on commercials; and have seen some of the footage on commercials.

They then did two other movies, Powaqaatsi and Naqoyqatsi.

6. Good soundtrack, you say?

I should check it out.

[Rabrrrrrr]

8. Especially since you are the perfectly balanced one.

And no, I'm not making fun of you.

And if you are into drugs, it's also a good one for that. Though I find it more pleasurable without the drugs, because it's so amazing, but the first time I saw it I was totally fucking stoned off my ass.

10. I've only seen Powaqqatsi

love the Phillip Glass music.

[Rabrrrrrr]

11. That's a great one - I was disappointed the first time I saw it,

but over the years I've come to love it more and more. And, i think, as I've gotten older, I've gained enough experience to understand it more. Koyaanisqatsi and its technological and environmental apocalypticism was easy for this college guy; powaqqatsi was a too much out of my experience range to have any real emotional resonance.

7. It's Hopi and the title of a fabulous movie.

Tough to pronounce though.
