It makes everything go down a lot easier.

I paused it to get a sweater and I was surprised to find I had watched half of it. The time went so fast.<br /><br />Maybe it helped that I had a little fun with it. My nephew (he's 13) came down to get a snack and looked at it. It was an aerial view of cracked dirt mounds in the desert. My nephew said "What's that?" and I said "I don't know. I think it's an extreme close-up of an oatmeal cookie."<br /><br />Seriously, I was mesmerized. That Phillip Glass score helps a lot.

It is hard to sum it up in words, which is clearly Reggio's intention. I would love to have seen it on the biggest screen possible. <br /><br />I was reminded of Vertov's Man With a Movie Camera, though this was more reflective, less playful than that film.
