5-Minute Koyaanisqatsi Is Like Cultural CliffsNotes

The movie Koyaanisqatsi was revolutionary when it came out in 1982 and 30 years subsequently it ’s still an incredible study . But for those who ca n’t baby-sit through 90 minute of beautiful slow - mo footage , here it is , sped up 1552 - percent .

The one thing I miss is the eery and minimalistic Philip Glass score from the original . Would be interesting to take heed that sped up 15.5 clock time , too . Wyatt Hodgson , who created race up the piece calls it Balance Out of Life and suppose , “ The twelvemonth 1552 marks the publishing of ‘ A Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies , ’ an account of the mistreatment of the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas ” . Yeeaah , or maybe 1552 - per centum just happened to be how much it needed to speed up up so it would fit perfectly with the song you nibble for it . Call me a cynic . Regardless , it ’s still beautiful . [ viaBuzzFeed ]
