Awful Release!,
By
This review is from: Koyaanisqatsi (Widescreen) (DVD)
I have rated this dvd 1 star, not the film itself. The film is a masterpeice, and an important piece of art. This dvd version of it is a piece of horse poop!If you have never seen this film, I suppose the way it is framed in this version might not really bother you, but if you actually CARE to see the film as was originally presented, THIS ISN'T IT! I am not sure exactly HOW they managed to frame this transfer so poorly, but if ineptitude is a virtue, these folks go to the head of the class. I won't get into the techical terms of aspect ratio, framing, and the like, but suffice it to say, this release LACKS a good amount of the original image. The image on the screen might be presented in the original apsect, but the framing of that aspect was done in such a way as to "zoom" too far in, thus erradicating, in my estimation, approx. 15-20% of the original image. In a film like Koyaanisqatsi, where the artist's framing of the image is so critical, changing the original image by framing it this way is unforgivable...well...maybe merely a waste of time and money. The frustrating thing for me was that the "full screen" vhs release actually gives the viewer a closer approximation of the original! I won't go on and on about it, but like I said before; If you want the original, you're going to have to wait. I suppose there is a laser disc version out there that is framed properly, but that's not really much help! Save your dough!

There is no singular meaning for this movie. "To some its a work of art, to others it's a piece of s$#@," was what I believe Godfrey Reggio stated during his interview for this movie. Watch this movie if you want to expand your mind and get a different concept on life as a whole. Watch this movie if you decide to go get stoned and just want a visual thriller. Don't go for crappy "action-packed" violent movies that don't entail any sort of useful value in your already meaningless life. Try and learn a thing or two, and watch this movie. You won't be disapointed. (If you are disapointed, your a moron and didn't deserve to see this work of unique art in the first place.)
