People as strings, world as instrument.
I had the good fortune of a teacher lending me this in high school. It may be the best documentary ever.
Two British film makers traveled to 25 countries recording pieces of music and then fusing them together via Lap-top, and the results are a stunning fusion of world musics and editing. If that weren't enough there's interviews with artists, scientists, religious scholars, mystics, authors (Kurt Vonnegut and Tom Robbins, actors, activists, prostitutes,and people on the street divided into twelve chapters "Time, Confrontation, Sex, Masks, God, Faith, Blasphemy, Unity, Death, Money, Inspiration, and Happiness." Each is broken up into a song, so it's easy to watch in pieces or all the way through. Inspiring music, concepts, and message; the world as instrument and all it's peoples as strings. Should be seen by anyone with an interest in anything.
It?s a good idea which is why I watched it, except it was awfully nauseating and boring. I really like the idea of music as a truth and universal language ? but MTV would have done a better job showing that than this crap.
How could I have missed this one ??!! THIS IS A MUST SEE ! Most of us has the knowledge but can't put it into words. Bridgeman and Catto manages to enlighten us in an informal way about different cultures spiritual way to wiew our existence in a beautiful world.
Great music from Asia to Africa with musicians and singers from all over the world mixed together in a perfect match.
This movie was totally amazing and blows the doors off of any concept you have of a documentary. Duncan and Jamie have put together the movie in 9 broad themes ranging from faith, inspiration, masks, and sex and have brought to the forefront many of the philosophies and music of African, Indian, Maori, European and North American culture.
