What is that gorilla thinking? Where are all those sullen-looking people, and where are they going (in extreme slow-motion)? (My guess is they are a rush-hour crowd in a major metropolis.) What are various ethereally lit faces staring at (other than us, the viewers)? I sense Reggio groping for a new way, 175 years into photography, to look at the world—which is why I interpret the title as an invitation to see the film's sights as a tourist from another planet might see them. Shots of buildings here often show no traditional respect for gravity or a human sense of spatial orientation. The camera pointing up the face of an old building to a sky that whizzes by in time lapse feels like the view from the bridge of a spaceship whirling out of control. It's as if you could walk across the facade and window panes, staring not up but out at the swirl of clouds. An inflatable dummy flops around on fan exhaust, presumably stationed outside some car dealership or strip mall lot. But by excluding such context, keeping our view fixed on the dummy for a long time in a steady frame, Reggio makes the plastic person come to life. Its eyes seem full of sorrow and distress as it flops around helplessly.
