h4vr4n One of the best documentary films I ever seen. I liked the way, how the differences of our society, nature, culture are trying to divide us and how easy music connecting people in one complex entity again. I totally agree with a theory, that we are dancing and singing apes although speaking and using PC's:)) The music is really a one of the best parts of it. The mixture of tribal and tech beats are very nice. I recommend to buy soundtrack or other LP's from Lucky People Center group. This kind of movies are bringing peace and tranquility to our minds. There is only one small problem. I could not find the seller of this movie. It's possible to see it after you download compressed version from any p2p service, but quality is low (don't forget to download English subtitles too, the movie in p2p I found only with Swedish ones) and you have to find it first of course. Anybody find the way how or where to buy this movie, please let me know:)))
that_guy-2 Whilst watching this movie, I kept comparing it to "Baraka". About half way through, I started kicking myself and started trying to judge this film on its own merits.Looking back, comparisons to "Baraka" seemed like a fair touchstone to judge this movie. Whilst "Baraka" relies almost entirely on vision to not only take you on a journey, but to deliver a vaguely anti-consumerism message, Lucky People Centre relies more on music and spoken word to portray its message.Whilst I'm not claiming that Baraka's message is muted, or hard to find, Lucky People Centre is a little more obvious with its back-to-nature-and-warning-about-the-future message.Visually stunning, with an eclectic set of characters ranging from an Indian Guru to Maori singers (a personal highlight is the millennium Haka).Definitely has more than one viewing in it, and would be a perfect movie for the dance music freak, anti-globalisation nut or anyone who enjoys a movie that doesn't fit into the normal boundaries of cinema
Atavisten This manifesto of a will away from modern life of credit cards and fear of death is composed of images juxtaposed against each other, urban skyscrapers against mother nature, Japanese noise artists against African tribal people. We see Bill Clinton and Dalai Lama. Different people tell their view of life, like the Maori, a man living in the jungle for six years, one scientist discover the power the gibbons scream evokes, a porn actress from the happy days of porn teaches the gospel of ecstasy and so on.Somehow it failed on its course, we get the point, but its lacking in depth. The montages as well as the music could be done better.
shiut-2 A movie that beats you, right in your mind. It lets you think things over. You see in this film why the "beat of life" is that important. At the first side it is a religious and philosophic documentary, at the other side it is an art movie that mixes samples of music, words and pictures and all that in a real rhythmic and musical sound. But also the stills are great filmed.I like this film very much, because I like DJ Music (and this is like a more serious party, where a DJ also mixes Images), because the People are very interesting and it is excellent filmed.I'm now 16, but I think those who are as old as I, don't like this movie because it is long time very quiet and it is not like I thought always action and music. I would recommend it to all who like great stills, electronic or rhythmic music, good documentaries and to those who are bored of all the normal movies. For those who expect Action or Comedy it isn't to good, though it have both in a way implemented, but not very usual. I'd call it: "cool dj avant-garde art documentary"If you want something new and cool
