A very minimalist interpretation of a well-known Mozart piece that develops its own charm:
-
Thinking of melody genius and beautiful, enchanting sounds, classical composers or rock musicians are usually mentioned. In my opinion, one branch that leads a rather shadowy existence is that of film composers. Many of them are reduced to individual titles. But if you take a look at their entire oeuvre, you quickly realize that some of them are true geniuses with an almost inexhaustible repertoire.

Hi Jung,
my answer to your question, who is the greater melody genius, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart or Paul McCartney is: both. Although I have to admit that I clearly prefer Paul McCartney. But perhaps his music would not have existed in this form without the works of Mozart. Who knows. How about a symbiosis of both worlds? Rock and Classic. You don’t have to like the following piece, but it’s an interesting adaptation anyway.

Flying to Mars and colonize the planet. A form of escapism or a serious achievement?

Maybe the last great flight will take us far out into the depths of space. There we may find new worlds and build new civilisations. And the children there, our great-great-grandchildren, will tell themselves a story, a fairy tale perhaps, of a beautiful world that floated like a blue diamond against the black firmament of space. A world so fragile, as fragile as we are. And they dream of returning there one day. To see the vastness of the blue oceans, feel the wind in their hair and perceive the warm rays of the sun on their faces. Birds singing in the sky, green impenetrable forests full of life and cities built of sweat, steel and hope. Long before we broke this world.

Ja, sehr gut Tom 🙂
A question can be the starting point for an interesting journey. But much more exciting are the many insights you gain along the way. Sometimes, if you are very lucky, you also arrive at the destination where the answer is waiting for you. Perhaps you won’t always like it but you can’t undo the question. Maybe that’s why many people don’t even start this journey: it’s tedious, it’s uncomfortable and they don’t really want to know the answer. They prefer to sit at home on the sofa, waiting for Sexy Sadie to whisper something in their ear.

Alan Parson’s „Cloud Break“

Jack Lemmon and Peter Falk starred as lovable villains in the 1965 movie „The Great Race“. Many movies of the 1960s had a special charm that today’s movies sometimes lack. Action, CGI effects and high-resolution footage is great, but some films lack esprit or just the right actors.

…or does the future of passenger flight look more like this?

Jung, it’s amazing what kind of renewed old-timers are in the air above us. But there is nothing wrong with mature aircraft types. The problem with the development of new aircraft is a very time-consuming and cost-intensive certification procedure. Every aircraft manufacturer carefully considers whether the market is ready for a new type. I still remember the expensive modifications that had to be made at many airports so that the Airbus A 380 could land there. This aircraft did not fly under a good star. Singapore Airlines advertised for a long time with the slogan “First to fly A 380”. And then was also the first airline to sue Airbus because Airbus could not deliver on time. And now production is being discontinued because there is no longer any demand for such giants of the air. Too bad. Supposedly, Airbus wants to develop a hydrogen-powered commercial aircraft by 2036. I am curious. Boeing has been very quiet lately.
Yeah ravens are very curious and also cheeky birds (and they are not the smallest either). I can imagine that several of them can scare off an eagle. Much like hyenas chase a single lion away. The BBC has recently released some very nice wildlife documentaries, including a multi-part documentary on the evolution of flight. BBC Earth: “The Fantastic Journey of Birds”, very entertaining.
Is this the future of passenger flight…?

Yeah David, great emotions. Ideally a film and the accompanying music enter into a symbiosis and the two are forever inseparably linked. A melody genius masterpiece. Like this song, even though it wasn’t originally written for the movie.
-
Thanks David. I’m just trying to imagine this movie in an IMAX cinema: certainly terrific. I don’t know when I saw my first IMAX movie. I think it was about space and journeys into space. Two things impressed me very much: the superb presentation and the extremely short running time of the movie 🙂
I posted it before, but I could not resist…

Yes, I’m afraid you’re right, Jung: when the pie gets bigger again, the customer will continue to get small pieces. He’s used to that. A popular business model in many other industries as well.
