''Naqoyqatsi'' ( ), also known as ''Naqoyqatsi: Life as War'', is a 2002 film directed by Godfrey Reggio and edited by Jon Kane, with music composed by Philip Glass. It is the third and final film in the Qatsi trilogy. ''Naqoyqatsi'' is a Hopi word (more correctly written ''naqö̀yqatsi'') meaning "life as war". In the film's closing credits, Naqoyqatsi is also translated as "civilized violence" and "a life of killing each other".〔 While ''Koyaanisqatsi'' and ''Powaqqatsi'' examine modern life in industrial countries and the conflict between encroaching industrialization and traditional ways of life, using slow motion and time-lapse footage of cities and natural landscapes, about eighty percent of ''Naqoyqatsi'' uses archive footage and stock images manipulated and processed digitally on non-linear editing (non-sequential) workstations and intercut with specially-produced computer generated imagery to demonstrate society's transition from a natural environment to a technology-based one. Reggio described the process as "virtual cinema".〔 ==Synopsis== According to Reggio, the film has no screenplay per se, but three movements (like those of a symphony) with different themes:〔(Rotten Tomatoes website ): Reviews and long article on Naqoyqatsi, with input and quotations from Godfrey Reggio and Philip Glass〕 # Numerica.com: Language and place gives way to numerical code and virtual reality. # Circus maximus: Competition, winning, records, fame, “fair play” and the love of money are elevated to the prime values of life. Life becomes a game. # Rocketship twentieth century: A world that language can no longer describe. The resulting explosive tempo of technology is war, civilized violence. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Naqoyqatsi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
