I am trying to get the name of an old movie released back in the 80's?!


Question: The movie was filmed in time lapse photography and then speeded up like showing the building of a skyscraper from the ground up but done very fast. or a plant as the seed falls then shoots up to be a plant or tree. I think the premise was how Earth has changed with mankind. It had an indian name something like Anastazi? I don't remember much dialog but lots of cool music.

I believe you are referring to "Koyaanisqatsi."

Hope that was it.

Kinda a scene from Bicentenial Man w/ Robin Williams?...

Nordy's right. The movie is Koyaanisqatsi, and the music is by Phillip Glass. It is the most famous movie in a trilogy of movies directed by Godfrey Reggio.

Koyaanisqatsi is about life out of balance.
Powaqqatsi is about life in transformation.
Naqoyqatsi is about life as war.

All three movies get their names from the Hopi language.

Though I haven't seen Powaqqatsi or Naqoyqatsi yet, I have seen Koyaanisqatsi several times. I find it to be quite hypnotic and beautiful to watch. However, often I have to watch it with the tv muted because there is just so much of Phillip Glass' music that I can take at one time. But I have to admit, the music fits the movie perfectly.
