+    Koyaanisqatsi: Life Out of Balance is a 1982 film that focuses on the out of balance nature of modern living. This is done by a non-traditional, experimental, music driven progression that shows clips of nature, human activity, human buildings, and human consumption. 
+
+    Koyaanisqatsi's over all message is critical of much of post-industrial society due to its high amount of waste, construction, and consumption. This is viewed through the music's dissonance in highly industrialized human environments and the image allegories that are present through the work.
+
+    A couple notable allegories the movie points are as follows: Human cities, when looking at a satellite image, look extraordinarily similar to computer chips. This comparison highlights both's artificial and intricate nature. Another would be the comparability between human traveling, waiting, and task-preforming (for example, waiting in line for a movie) to road travel, with both making similar patterns that are observable to the viewer, highlighting their artificial, restricted nature by allegory.
+1
+    These allegories are complemented by American Score-writer Philip Glass's instrumental work that blends opera, neo-classical, minimalist, electronic, and ambient elements together to give the sequence of artificial images that compose Koyaanisqatsi the thrill and calmness necessary to understand the themes, motifs, and over all message of the work.
+
+    All of this content put together gives the observer of the movie quite an interesting critique of modern society that is spoken without a single word being uttered. The movie, while not what some would describe as entertaining, is rhetorically effectual in allowing someone to understand the Luddite perspective on post-industrial society.
