Koyaanisqatsi

(1982) A film by Godfrey Reggio.
Reggio takes his audience through different parts of the world showing them things they may have seen before but not quite in the way he shows it. He uses well thought out, massive cinematical shots involving anything from a helicopter to time lapse. The music changes throughout the film to match the feel of the video that is currently on display. The mood is contantly changing while different parts of the world are shown. He shows time lapse camera shots of city life. You see busy traffic intersections with cars moving by very fast as the music changes to something with faster rhythm. Although the shots are dramatically diverse from one clip to the next, it feels natural. The editing keeps the film flowing at a steady pace. The film has an environmental theme behind it. It contrasts time before industrialization and the present day. It shows the interaction between humans and their environment, often times in a negative light.
Overall, a beautiful film with well composed shots.
