I love that a 40 year old film without dialogue can be more relevant than ever to this day.

I'll never forget the first time I saw 'Koyaanisqatsi'. It literally took my breath away. I know that sounds so cliche, but still, it's true. I was completely hypnotized by it. And, it spoke a Truth to me. I became very evangelical about it, urging friends and others to see it. I love how he redefines what 'language' means. I love that there's not one spoken word in the film, and yet, it speaks so forcefully! Thank you Mr. Reggio.

Koyaanisqatsi is one of the soundtracks of my life. It is my thinking music, which I love. Thankyou all.

As soon as he said he'd seen a life-changing film i was on alert. When he mentioned Buenel. I mentally shouted,"Say it: ' Los Olvidados'! He did. That film stayed with me. "City of Gold" is worth seeing too. Comic book super hero movies have their place and are sometimes more serious then they are given credit for, they can be modern equivalents of myths and morality plays but most are preposterous and strain for a significance they can't attain. Great films can change your experience of the world. Reggio's are great films.

los olvidados changed my perspective of living and my mindset when I was 8 years old... now im 20, I've been 10 years shooting and loving reggios work and now the same sh happened to me, as soon he was talking of a life changing movie I thought of los olvidados and then when he said Luis Buñuel my skin started tickling and my heart beat rised. Reggio, Buñuel and Ariel Figueroa such an inspiration for me since I was a kid

No one ever asks him the question I would have. How does he feel that the style of his film has become the standard style of advertising? You can't watch a tv show without sitting through two or three car commercials imitating Koyaanisqatsi. It's been like that since the early 90s and his influence has increased over the years.

The New Message from God, received by Marshall Vian Summers (look him up, a humble Messenger for our time and the times to come) brings a warning, a blessing and a preparation for the new world we are entering and are living in already today. It is not based on any existing religion or ideas, it is a new message for our time and the times to come.
