Inferior Quotations

IQ: Jack Goldstein made Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1975. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer had little if any thing to do with Koyaanisqatsi in 1983, but in 2002 after acquiring the rights to the film, MGM added a contemporary, inferior version of Jack’s lion to the beginning o’the film, an’ it sticks out like a sore toe.

Koyaanisqatsi: [Text.]
KOYAANISQATSI

ko•yaa•nis•qatsi (from the Hopi language), n.
1. crazy life. 2. life in turmoil. 3. life out
of balance. 4. life disintegrating. 5. a state
of life that calls for another way of living.

Koyaanisqatsi: [Text.]
Translation of the Hopi Prophecies
sung in the film

“If we dig precious things from the land,
we will invite disaster.”

“Near the Day of Purification, there will be
cobwebs spun back and forth in the sky.”

“A container of ashes might one day be thrown
from the sky, which could burn the land and
boil the oceans.”
