这是Qatsi记录片三部曲的最后一部。Qatsi是美国印第安土著Hopi语,意思是生活。 本片由于受资金困扰,2002年才得以发行,制作时间长达十年,但却没有象前面两部作品Powaqqatsi (1988)和Koyaanisqatsi (1983) 那样广受好评。 音乐仍然由Philip Glass操刀,马友友则在此片中担任大提琴独奏。 著名影评人ROGER EBERT说: “I have problems with Naqoyqatsi as a film, but as a music video it''s rather remarkable. (“Naqoyqatsi作为一部影片有不少问题,作为MTV倒相当出色。) 1983年,受IRS(Institute of Regional Study)委托,导演雷吉奥拍出了一部非叙事性的电视片,在这基础上,Qatsi系列第一部惊世之作《失衡生活》(Koyaanisqatsi)应运而生。在得到了包括卢卡斯、科波拉等人的大力支持与推广之后,《失衡生活》在当时形成了轰动性的效果。5年以后,Qatsi系列第二部《变形生活》(Powaqqatsi)诞生,尽管没有在第一部的基础上取得大的突破,但也不失为水准之作。 《战争生活》的诞生经历了许多坎坷。尽管《失衡的生活》与《变形的生活》都取得了相当好的评价,但在拍摄期间,导演仍然面临严重的资金问题。在这种情况下,尽管派拉蒙公司已经为前两部电影发行了DVD,但是雷吉奥仍然坚持收回版权,让想要购买DVD的影迷单独与他联系,单价150美金,作为对第三部影片拍摄费用的支持。最后在米拉迈克斯公司的支持下,由著名导演斯蒂芬·索德伯格(《性、谎言、录像带》,《毒品网络》,《永不妥协》)出任执行制片,历经10余年,终于完成了这部作品。 电影里充满着那些似乎无意剪接到一起的镜头,一会是冲天的原子弹,一会是变色的散发出奇异目光的多利羊,以及飘忽来去的世界地图,股票市场,数字,和人的游行……然后接着来了警察,以及挥舞的棍棒,长长的有刀的枪,还有飞过的子弹的呼啸……镜头一转,我们又看到了拳击手的攻击和倒下,本•拉登和胡子,还有变形的电脑,不停的毫无意义的争吵。接着还有什么?流动着噪音的和没有声音的阅兵,徐徐而进的汽车,布什,轮盘赌,云霄飞车,快餐,速度,网络……最后留下的是死亡,爆炸,而那些优雅环境里的键盘和字母在飞舞,汽车来了,光线亮了,车灯射过来,有人在哭泣……
