Koyaanisqatsi

Koyaanisqatsi, also known as life out of balance, is a type of an experimental film produced by Francis Coppola. Its features a lot of different cinematic sequences of how life is portrayed, from the beginning of life and to the end of it. The film itself has no narration to it at all and just relies on soundtrack to deliver the message its trying to set out the audience.

From watching koyaanisqatsi from a visual point of view, you notice the message its trying to get across through the colours that are used are suppose to relate to the mood of that particular sequence. For example, at the end of the film the audience follow the journey of a rocket going into space. However, before the rocket reaches its destination it implodes mid flight and crashes back down. The colours used in this particular in this piece are reds and yellows. This could represent the meaning of destruction. This scene at the end of the film to me is all about how life can just crash and burn within an instance and in koyaanisqatsi, i think that's what the rocket is representing. You can never be wrong in thinking what koyaanisqatsi means because it can have so many different meanings in context to what it could represent.
