Originally posted by Lira ...could you help me find a completely unrelated film? I didn't see the beginning, HBO aired it many years ago and I just caught the last half of it. I remember there were some guys crossing the desert in a jeep, and they end up knocking down a blue guy (who eventually died). A tribe of blue guys then appears and asks for one of the travellers to stay, and end up killing him. Later, a black guy and a redhead start having violent sex in what seems to be an analogy of Adam and Eve.

Never seen it, but that sounds like The Loss of Sexual Innocence:

Oh, and Koyaanisqatsi is cool.

Thanks, JBJ So, No one else saw it?

That was spot on! But...If you've never seen it, how did you know?

I adore Philip Glass, and those films. My college room mate and I used to watch Koyaanisqatsi and Powaqatsi while drunk at 3 in the morning on our 94" projector. A spiritual experience. I can't tell you how many times I drifted off into dream while watching those films.

I bought Baraka as well, and while the images are just as amazing, the score is nowhere near as compelling.

Originally posted by Lira I've just found out about Phillip Glass and, after falling in love with his music, I decided to watch the (not so) famous trilogy Qatsi. Who's seen it? Did you like it?

Hell yea! I own all of those and they're probably amongst the best movies in my collection.

And about Philip Glass, I found out about him last year when I ran into a friend of mine who was sampling his music for rap instrumentals...It wasn't until then that I did the research to find out that he's been making music for the series of "Candy Man" movies. Philip Glass is just unreal.

i'm a huge fan of the qatsis

i have shown at least koyaanisqatsi to nearly everyone i know

philip glass has been a big influence on me

besides koyanissqatsi, the truman show soundtrack, i really like his second symphony and 'itaipu: the canyon'. 'truman sleeps' from the truman show soundtrack is maybe one of my absolute favorites though,

i had a college roommate who was extremely into glass and he played me pretty much his entire discography.

I read a review of it a while ago, and the review had a picture of the black Adam and red-haired Eve.
