Powaqqatsi – Movie series.

Qatsies are real masterpieces (especially first two).
Ron Fricke’s Baraka also (Fricke was cinematographer of first one or two Qatsies).

In my opinion, these films are some of the essential cures for widespread false pride of living in our ”progressive and technologically advanced times” (and, generally, in all this big mistake called civilization).
After watching it, one might reconsider using word ‘human’ in correlation with ‘progress’. It’s the Megamachine (Lewis Mumford’s term) that’s progressing, and the people inside are just carrying their share of load-filled sack on the back. Just like people in this video.
(I’m not trying here to describe human life as miserable, just stating my opinion about relations inside the Machine).

Yes these are some really great movies.

I Remember enjoying each one of these (Koyaanisqatsi: Life out of Balance, Powaqqatsi: Life in Transformation & Naqoyqatsi: Life as War)

The Philip Glass soundtrack to Powaqqatsi (Life in Transformation) is an absolutely incredible soundtrack and I listen to it often even today.

Just yesterday my iPod was randomizing and landed on a track from this movie.
