Powaqqatsi

Powaqqatsi, as a documentary with a strong musical score, primarily evokes a profound sense of Awe through its stunning global imagery and Philip Glass's powerful, contemplative music. The exploration of modernization's impact on developing nations leads to significant Empathy and Sadness for the human condition and the loss of traditional ways. A pervasive Melancholy underscores the film's wistful critique, while Curiosity is engaged by its informative yet abstract approach. The film also elicits Inspiration from human resilience and can be Disturbing when depicting the harsh realities of poverty and environmental degradation.
