These comments remind me of the movies Koyaanisqatsi and Powaqatsi.
No narrative, just pure imagery and Phillip Glass music. I highly
recommend them, though I'm aware that a couple of hours of Glass
can send some people into a deep snooze.
On the other hand, it's an interesting irony when a movie attempts
to show the gulf between media images and reality.
