I'll always love Godfrey Reggio, but every now and again when watching his films I wonder if I'm getting a misanthropic tendency. Maybe it's just me. For instance, maybe in the sequence "Beginning" from his 1992 film Anima Mundi, 

 

what I took to be misanthropic is simply an expression of the primordial. It is titled Beginning after all. It could be. I know his films are notorious for audiences chiming in about (and frequently objecting to) what they believe his films are "saying".
