Movie ReviewsConsciousness-shifting! 04/13/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "I saw this on World Link TV one night when nothing else was on. I was completely captivated, enchanted, blown away. Words cannot describe this film or the way it shifted/stretched my consciousness. I felt like a child being playfully tossed into the air of a greater understanding of (and trust in) how the entire intelligent universe unfolds itself. A complete joy! I've got to find this on DVD...." As thought provoking as Koyaanisqatsi, only with words. 11/20/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "This documentary will test your understanding of corporeal existence in the way major psychotropics used to in the sixties, only without the hangover. It is a misleading title, though once you watch it you'll get it. The "death by design" is also referred to as "programmed cell death" and it is a detailed explanation and deconstruction of cellular resurrection and rebirth on orders of billions of times per second; what makes us "us." It is how cells communicate with each other and survive for the good of the whole. Move. Divide. Stay where you are. Become something else. Kill. Commit suicide. Die. It will astound you and give you a perspective of life that damn near reaches divine inspiration. Just get passed the graduate film school opening credit sequence and sit back with jaw dropped. You won't regret it and you will demand that your friends watch it, too. Especially if you're in the right head." "Survivor" at the cellular level 08/25/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "I remember vividly seeing this film on TV. I was in Europe on business, jet-lagged, unable to sleep at 2AM. So I flipped on the TV and this came on. The title and opening few minutes made me almost change the channel, but I'm sure glad I stayed with it, because it just engrosses you. Seeing this film and learning about aptosis ("programmed cell death") have been very important/helpful to me, in hindsight.I recall a quote in a book, something like "zen is what happens after you've spent enough time thinking about death", or words to that effect." Death By Design Paul W | 94087 | 10/19/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "Excellent info. Confirmed my view that life on earth did not begin on earth. Info presented very well."
