Once Within a Time (2022)
John Lucy presents: Influence of Language on Thought
Godfrey Reggio has released a new film;
a follow up to his Koyaanisqatsi, Powaqqatsi, Naqoyqatsi, and Visitors.
I have to say, those people (like myself) who have followed his work since Koyaanisqatsi, ... will find his message most clearly articulated in this film. It's the most lucid rendition of what he is trying to say. So much so, the scene where the man receives the cage around his head... will bring many to tears.
Because of the "flying shields", rock petroglyphs, "criss-crossed wires in the sky", and "gourds of ashes" - I know the "New Agers", and artists, and "hippies" who have taken an affinity for the Hopi people are going to once again come out of the woodwork.
Honestly, I can't get enough of the film, I see something new each time I watch it.

Honesty and Sincerity
Strip away all of these skyscrapers, their glass windows, packaged meats, and cell-phones. Two people, really living next to one another, knowing both the comfort and horrors of life. Each swell of life's tide carrying out, just a little bit more away from the place they used to call home, makes the couple, and their life more valuable than any crest whitening strip, or gucci stiletto we worship in so many places.
If you're wishing for the real world, you'll find it here, haunting, unforgettable, and beautiful to the core even in the depth of its most terrible moments.
More lives would be valued, if more lives were given up for the loneliness of others. 🙏🏼Amen
