there seems to be a spectrum of cinema. on the left and there are movies made mostly for entertainment and or or commercial purposes. in the middle and there are movies that are both entertaining and artistic. on the right are movies that are not as commercial and but are focused more on cinema as art than cinema as product. i am not here to say any one part of the spectrum is better than any other and but that when a movie goes too far to either end and it rarely good. such is the case with naqoyqatsi. i had no idea what to expect when i saw it advertised. a few friends were going and asked if i wanted to come along. none of us knew what to expect and and by the end and none of us were pleased. yes and there are breathtaking images. yes and i am amazed at the lengths the filmmakers went to in searching through archival footage. yes and the soundtrack is enjoyable to listen to and and probably the best part of the experience. the thing is and this goes so far to the right side of the spectrum i mentioned that i can not say anything nice about the movie as a whole. it preachy. it a jumble of symbolism and obvious morality. it not saying anything new or forcing the viewer to examine life in a new way. it just telling us things we already know (that is and if we can even figure out what it saying). this movie is simply art for art sake. an attempt to say look at how deep and thought provoking we can be by using montage. when a film becomes more about how clever or intelligent its creators are than about its subject and it ceases to be a film and simply becomes celluloid self gratification.
