So Sufjan Stevens is a pretty wacky, weirdy-beardy guy, but I get it. The BQU was so much fun to watch and really sincerely very aesthetically pleasing and interesting. Maybe because of this:
When I have free time, when I get bored and need to clear my head, I grab my iPod and hit the road. There's a glass factory down 220 that looks like a fairy palace when it's lit up at night. And the architecture and colors and history of the buildings! It was amazing. I can't tell you how many times I think to myself, 'Man, I just want to take my camera down town and shoot all the different wonderful colors and shapes and shadows of those buildings. I don't know if it's cause I was raised in the city, but there is something wholly magical about city lights, and the hum and rush of cars that is strangely peaceful and calming. Something truly wonderful to behold. So Sufjan, I get it.
His music is otherworldly, I love it. Would I have preferred some lyrics? Of course. Would it have taken away from the film? Yes.
I would love to watch this movie while I run on the treadmill. The swell of the music and the incredible motion of the visuals just made me want to get up and move, drive fast, feel the wind in my hair!
I'd never seen anything like this before, it was a sensational trip.
