Koyaanisqatsi's longest and arguable best piece. I augmented the films original audio with the track of the same name from the 1998 re-recording. I present to you now, 'The Grid'.
4:38 Something so pure and authentic about her face. When she was born television didn't even exist and cars moved much slower. Now she is surrounded by cameras, lights, and the fast pace life of a city. No doubt deceased by now, but immortalized in this brief clip.
I first I saw Koyanisqatsi, that was around 10 years ago, I was completely out of breath after that sequence. It was like I was hit by a truck. I cannot imagine what 1982 audiences thought of it.
The true, real and quiet essence of the USA in this part of film and the music catch this in a perfect harmony and I like, why not return this to our days how before?
As a level II bipolar bastard, I swear this is exactly what it's like when I eventually hit mania! 'The grid, is a work of art that should be displayed forever in a museum or summat. The whole film is an absolute masterpiece. But for me personally, this section is just simply incredible One of the greatest films ever?...EASILIY
if aliens wanted to know about us. who we are. Why we are. This is the film. This is the human imprint we have left on our planet, and our universe. If anything, this would instantly describe the human race to any extraterrestrials out there. I'm sure their world isn't too much different.But who knows?
Big thank you, mate! I've got this movie on DVD and watch it at least once a year, but I'm glad that this wonderful piece of art is on youtube, so everyone can enjoy this masterpiece. Especially this "Grid" sequence rocks so hard... one of the best things humanity ever put on film. Not joking.
On the tv segment - thomas dolby she blinded me with science video, burt reynolds, lou dobbs, connie chung, tom brokaw, jerry falwell, peter jennings, jim baker, segment from dukes of hazzard.
The first time i watched this scene i hated it. It was just too much to take in and i thought he score was annoying. Now i come back to these videos every other day or so and something changed. The music is breathtaking and this may well be one of the greatest sequences to capture our world.
We are all put here for a reason. It doesnt matter if you work in a corner shop, it doesnt matter if you save someones life. It doesnt matter how many friends you have, how many people you hate. Just remember.... WE ARE ALL PUT HERE FOR A REASON. Also, I agree with kuhataparunks! ;)
N66511 Possibly there was an extrajudicial negotiation. According to wikipedia: "A few days after its release, Italian director Stefano Salvati accused Madonna's Warner Bros. Records imprint Maverick Records for plagiarizing the concept of a music video he directed for Biagio Antonacci's 1994 single "Non è Mai Stato Subito". According to Salvati, copies of his videos were submitted to Maverick before the "Ray of Light" video was shot and requested it to be pulled from distribution. Both videos featured the respective singers performing at regular speed against a backdrop of high-speed images. However, he did not sue the singer or her companies" (Ray of Light (song) #Music video)
I’m pretty sure that the people sitting in the car are Gofrey Reggio and Ron Fricke. Their hairstyles match plus Ron Fricke stated in an interview that Reggio was present at most of the film locations.
Every other version of the song besides the official movie version has a "tinny" kind of feel to it. less bass, it's less bombastic. This is the only version of the song that I like.
I appreciate the daily life, fascinated with cities and the modern world in general, it's why i love this movie so much, it's basically my dream movie.
I think people are looking too deep into this film, Reggio himself said that the Qatsi movies are merely intended to create an audiovisual experience and it’s up to the viewer to make sense of it.

Whoever you are and whatever you do, you will NEVER look as cool as the guy at 4:24.
Sideburn-Mullet-Elvis, wherever you are now, we salute you!
Had the same thought.
theproplady LMAO! 😂
That man gets laid.
i swear to god people has more attitude and style back in the day.
I seriously believe that this sequence is one of the greatest ever put to film
+Ben Miranda Totally with you there!
+Ben Miranda Well said. One of my top three films. (...though Aliens is lurking at #4)
I wholeheartedly agree.

It is truly amazing
American Life Speedrun Glitchless any %
Here is, put into images, the representation of how extravagant, how complex and how quick our passage on earth has been.

1:27 is literally one of the greatest shots ever put on film.
Just as amazing and hypnotic now as it's always been!

Awesome music and imagery... and a reflection about modern society that goes deeper than any other movie filled with dialogues.
The first time I saw this and "The Grid" abruptly ended, I actually said "Woah." out loud. Freaking breathtaking.
too A
MAZING,BEATIFUL, ECSTATIC,TRANQUIL,CALM,
PEACEFUL!!!!!!! sooo many words to describe this amazing piece!!!!
Tzimi's Panousis's Live Show Backround Projections from his 80s & Post-80s Period brought me here!!!
Σοβαρά τώρα ;;;; Δεν είχα γεννηθεί και δεν το ήξερα!! Διαβασμένος ο Τζίμης όπως πάντα!!!
guy with the sideburns and eagle t-shirt is cuuuuuuute!
Absolutely brilliant film. Thanks for the upload.
I'm thirty, my father used to put this song when i was a child. I will do the same thing if i have children, Philip Glass' music is just timeless...
I love it
On the tv segment - thomas dolby she blinded me with science video, burt reynolds, lou dobbs, connie chung, tom brokaw, jerry falwell, peter jennings, jim baker, segment from dukes of hazzard.
so good. my fav movie.
The build up is just epic.
When they show the car going through the tunnel and the choir comes on... chills every time
this is not the original, but it is a little better. I was a kid in 1982 and it brings back memories.
part II disappeared, it seems. bummer. the original video with the 98 audio is something I would love to have.
The first time i watched this scene i hated it. It was just too much to take in and i thought he score was annoying. Now i come back to these videos every other day or so and something changed. The music is breathtaking and this may well be one of the greatest sequences to capture our world.
a constant aggressive flow of people and vital activity, human factory, gutting brains...scary as hell

The Greatest part of the film
Oh this makes me feel so alive
4:04 - That's from NBC's The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.
Madonna's "Ray Of Light" video brought me here!
I think that Madonna stole the idea of this film for make your video "ray of light", but us had the mouth called and no say nothing about to the copy.

Wouldn't it be cool if the couple in the car at 5:05 were Godfrey and Glass. A bit like a Hitckcock cameo. Though I'm sure its no actually them.
I once heard that FFC was one of the occupants
@@davidjester6848 I can't believe I got your initial abbreviation. You're talking about Francis Ford Coppola, aren’t you?
I think the other person is George Lucas
@@davidjester6848 FFC and GL. Cool thought. George and Francis in the cockpit of the Millenium Falcon going into warp speed. Ha.

Philip Glass. The Grid from Koyaanisqatsi. 1982.
4:25 He's great haha
What song is playing in the video? I really like it :D
The Grid - Philip Glass
1:37 to 2:00: good scene under the freeway, I like.
N66511 h
Yes, I often deal in .... the stuff
*queue dramatic music*
triplet triplet triplet triplet triplet triplet ;)
Welcome to The World !!
3:36 Iconic
4:38 "...the higher the hair, the closer to God."
I love how this lady's lips curl up in a small smile when she notices the camera
yeap,this is the stuff.
Thing that sucks is that in the CD version the analog synth isnt as pronounced.
Every other version of the song besides the official movie version has a "tinny" kind of feel to it. less bass, it's less bombastic. This is the only version of the song that I like.
The uploader matched the audio to the video in this one. This isn't the audio from the movie.
next time I think i'll walk
Our world… and people wonder why we have so much mental illness.
*****""'VAPORWAVE"'"****
I always thought the guy at 4:05 was the younger George Bush
4:02 Pat Benatar
San Francisco
When? I only see L.A. and New York for the most part.
I think I can see Las Vegas, possibly.
Dick Cavett at 4:03
Pretty much sums up capitalism. (:
Maria Theresia von Habsburg Woah there pal, that was pretty *edgy*
And here you are on your capitalist phone or computer
George Lucas
He didn't have anything to do with this film. However, he was an executive producer on the sequel, Powaqqatsi.
All these woke people saying edgy Moby tier shit about this film. Just appreciate the Daily Life Kino.
I appreciate the daily life, fascinated with cities and the modern world in general, it's why i love this movie so much, it's basically my dream movie.
I think people are looking too deep into this film, Reggio himself said that the Qatsi movies are merely intended to create an audiovisual experience and it’s up to the viewer to make sense of it.
Wtf huh?!.
