  Hello once again,  folks,  Bill here to bring you his latest movie review.  Tonight,  I would like to finally bring a close to the 'Qatsi' trilogy.
nbsp;  For those who haven't been following along,  the 'Qatsi' trilogy is brought to you by Godfrey Reggio over the course of the last twenty years. nbsp;  Using a unique form of cinematography,  all three movies are brought to the viewer completely without dialogue set to a beautiful score all done by Philip Glass. nbsp;
 All three movies are designed to drive home to the viewer the idea that modernization and technology have driven a spike between humanity and nature and that technology has ruined our bond with the rest of the Earth.  Koyaanisqatsi introduces us to this idea on a very broad scale.
nbsp;
 Powaqqatsi shows us what happens to other ( primarily third- world)  cultures when we force technology and modernization upon them.
nbsp;
 Naqoyqatsi takes us to a dismal place where we see technology bringing us to a state of war never imagined before the 20th century.  Naqoyqatsi is another Hopi word meaning 'civilized violence',  or 'war as a way of life'.
nbsp;
 This is not the typical battlefield war that it's speaking of,  but the war of everyday life.
nbsp;
 We are bombarded by a slew of images that have been doctored and manipulated to show people in ways that aren't normally seen,  interestingly enough,  using the same technology that Reggio aludes is breaking humanity from it's natural beginnings.
 This film is very different than the first two because of it's use of special effects,  solarization,  2D/ 3D effects,  vector graphics all used to bring us those images.
nbsp;
 It is also a very different movie where the mood is very dark.
nbsp;
 The special effects and the symbols used bring us dark and depressing images of the world in which we live.
nbsp;
 Images of nuclear explosions,  rockets being shot off into space,  bomb blasts all resonnate how technology used to carry on the advancement of humanity,  also is being used to destroy it.  But I didn't like this movie at all.
nbsp;
 If I liked this movie for one reason,  it would be Philip Glass's soundtrack.
nbsp;
 It's great relaxation music,  though it will speed up and get tense at parts,  it's still great music.
nbsp;
 Reggio's images are uninteresting if not outright confusing.
nbsp;
 His points&
nbsp;
are often hard to grasp and scenes are thrown together without the order and transitions that the other two films had.  Another problem I have seen is that this movie sets out to show us that humanity uses technology to destroy one another,  but doesn't do anything to show us what technology is doing to aide humanity ( i.
e.
 medicine curing diseases)  This movie gets 2 out of 5 stars.  In other&
nbsp;
events,  I've dug up an article from&
nbsp;
Clarion's local news paper and I found an old article. about a month old,  that&
nbsp;
eight illegal aliens from Mexico were arrested in Clarion working for a drywall company that&
nbsp;
was putting up drywall&
nbsp;
at Reinhard Villages.  They were eating at Taco Bell and a local cop,  having lunch,  struck up a conversation with them.
nbsp;
 When he asked where they were from,  everyone stopped talking.
nbsp;
 He thought this was unusual behavior and did a plate check on their van.
nbsp;
 He found out that the plate didn't belong to that vehicle,  and further investigation dug up that these guys were working in the country illegally for a dry wall company that was doing work on Reinhard Villages.
nbsp;
 I thought that was funny as hell.  Reinhard Villages:  overpriced and built by hard- working illegal immigrants.
