Today in my Films Studies class, we watched a film called, "KOYAANISQATSI" (Don't try to pronounce it, you might hurt yourself.), and I thought the film was REMARKABLE! This film is a documentary without words only using sounds and images to explain the movies direction; and Oh what a job they did!! Phenomenal cinematography, great message, slight humor (Although dry), but overall this was the most powerful documentary I've ever seen! Buuuut 90 minutes without words seemed to turn a few of my classmates off.
Although I'm no movie buff, or an art critic, I know a good film when I see one; and KOYAANISQATSI was an outstanding film. Now, I'm a little upset because the class seemed abashed towards the film, and I'm a little confused why. For one, HOW ARE YOU IN AN ART SCHOOL AND CAN NOT APPRECIATE ART AT ANY FORM? I'm so Appalled (Kanye Voice) at how the class sighed, and grunted, as if they being tortured unjustly. WTF!!!?? As my man Martin Lawrence would say, "GET TUH SHHTEEPIN", and stop bothering people who are actually enjoying the film. I also found it DISGUSTING that one of our poor-er looking classmates (I was laughing out loud as I wrote that...HA!) was on Worldstarhiphop.com watching Waka Flocka clips WITH NO DAMN HEADPHONES ON! Yo, I was actually ashamed to be black at that moment.....And I LOVE my Blackness, smh. But truthfully, as an artist in an art school, be careful of your judgement of other forms of media, it really makes you look like less of an artist and more of an idiot. Just my thoughts.
Peace.
