oops almost forgot to post!

before i begin, i want to say that i think "montage" should be spelled "monTAJ" instead because that would just be amusing and yet still pronounced the same.
i thought this film was AWESOME. kind of like what Liz said, i felt that it was just one giant piece of artwork for us to appreciate, composed of thousands of smaller pieces of art. i thought it was beautiful! i'm not gonna lie, i did fall asleep some but that was because i was exhausted and it had nothing to do with the film. i actually found it quite intriguing how i managed to follow along better i think with just pictures and music than i would have with a normal movie. i think words at time get in the way of us listening to what someone is really trying to convey, and sometimes we just need to shut up haha. i felt like the writers/directors/whoever and i were on the same page-- it was like a glimpse into their minds for me. not to mention montage is one of my favorite film techniques ever. i find them so interesting and exciting. i've always looked for them in films- even before i knew what they were called- because i love the way that, assuming the right clips are chosen, the pictures can tell a story much better than any words could ever do justice to. i LOVED how the end of the movie gave the definition of the word "naqoyqatsi" because that really tied all the loose ends together for me and explained the whole message of the film. i guess that's all from me :)
