Listening (Philip Glass, Koyaanisqatsi (excerpt) 1982)

I thought that the film and musical compositions were a new way to show life. I like how the film in centered around the the music. I also like how the images in the movie move from nature and the organization of society to inner cities. This shows the development of society and how it changes. The music is a perfect fit for this movie because it is mostly minimalism. While the set of images change the music also changes. Additionally, I feel that the music is more important than the images. A story was once told me that if you turn the volume down on a horror film its not scary. I feel that if you turn the music down on this movie it loses most of its dramatic value.
