GRIZZLY PEAR

written snapshots

Koyaanisqatsi, Godfrey Reggio, Philip Glass, 1982

Finally watched the movie.
I’ve owned the DVD for years but never got around to it.

Now we’re in the streaming era.
Somehow the movie came up over dinner, and I pulled it up on Kanopy.

It took a couple meals
What a ride!

A wordless journey of wilderness to modernity —
A nostalgic modernity that is heading towards the half century mark.

Highly recommended. I’ll be checking out the sequel.

Youtube has trained my mind to reject anything that isn’t a thrill a minute, so I was surprised that the methodical pace did not bother me.
The monumental demolition of Pruitt-Igoe may have helped keep my attention from flagging in the middle.

Of course, any mention of this movie must include a link to Gifaanisqatsi generator.
