介绍：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……

介绍：New York private detective Duncan Mac MacLain is blind but has keenly developed all his other senses. He pursues his work assisted by his faithful guide dog Friday, his butler, Alistair, and his assistant, Marty. Retired actress Norma Lawry, an old friend, comes to Mac seeking advice. Her headstrong 17-year-old step-daughter Barbara, herself a promising actress, is enamored with her leading man in a small theater production, the much older Lothario Paul Gerente. Paul, who had once been Norma's lover, has convinced Barbara that Norma actually wants Paul for herself and has only married her father Stephen for his money. At Mac's urging, Norma tried to reason with Paul, but he insists that he loves Barbara and laughs her off. Barbara is equally disdainful of her and agrees to meet Paul for dinner that night at his apartment.　　Norma's husband Stephen Lawry is a scientist leaving that night on a trip to test a secret invention on which he has been working for the government and the war effort. Worried about Barbara, she uses a pretext not to accompany Stephen and goes to the apartment. When Barbara arrives, she finds Paul's dead body and thinks that Norma has killed him, even though Norma insists that he was dead when she arrived. Barbara threatens to call the police unless she leaves Stephen. Fearing that a scandal will hurt him, Norma agrees. Norma then turns to Mac, who goes to Paul's apartment with Friday and Marty, only to find the body and the rug under it missing. A man arrives to replace the rug and Mac hides in a closet, overhearing a telephone call to Norma's number from Gabriel to Vera. Mac accidentally gives himself away, but with Friday's help overpowers Gabriel, who refuses to talk. Mac has Marty hide him to keep him under wraps.　　Norma returns to her country home unexpectedly, which discourages an espionage ring that includes her butler, Hansen, from breaking into Stephen's safe and stealing his plans. They have killed Gerente, who was also an agent, and hidden the body. Mac arrives with Friday at Norma's house and pretends to be her curmudgeonly Uncle Mac who has come for a visit. His blindness lulls any suspicions Hansen might have about him. Shortly thereafter, Barbara comes home from an emergency rehearsal, called to get her out of the house by her director, Cheli Scott, who inveigles an invitation to spend the night at the Lawry home. Unknown to Barbara and Norma, Cheli is the ringleader of the spies. Cheli ordered Paul killed because his affection for Barbara was beginning to limit his effectiveness, and she immediately suspects Mac is not what he seems.　　Gabriel's wife Vera, the Lawrys' maid, is also a part of the plot. When Gabriel does not return home, Vera becomes hysterical with worry. Mac secretly asks Vera to meet him in the greenhouse, using her worry about Gabriel as a lure. She is observed by the others, however, and is killed by Hansen before she can reach Mac. The spies cut the house's telephone wires so that Mac and Norma cannot call the police, and Cheli has Mac locked up under guard. Using his blindness as a distraction, Mac overpowers his guard and releases Friday out a window with instructions to go home and get Marty. Stephen arrives home and Cheli threatens his family if he does not give her the final step in creating his invention, which was not in the safe. Barbara finally realizes how much Norma actually cares for her. Mac tries to stall for time, but is locked in the cellar. When Hansen goes to kill him, Mac has broken the light bulb and his advantage of total darkness helps him overcome the spy. Marty and Friday return with the police. When Friday is spotted by a lookout, Mac overpowers him and is saved from being shot by another lookout by Friday. After the spies are captured, Stephen and Norma are off to Washington, D.C., with Barbara remaining behind to care for her new Uncle Mac.
