Score: 10
"Profligated."
date: October 14, 2008
Cut from black and cue a snappy musical number as the camera drifts freely, neatly, through space, the mysterious canvas pointillized by distant stars and interrupted by serene, monstrous planets and the swirls of not-too-distant galaxies. We see earth, shrouded in a thin brown fog, and, as we move toward the surface, an endless range of veiled mountains, a vast metropolis, glass panes sealed with dust, towers of trash outgrowing the skyscrapers. Chills run down my spine, and crawl slowly back up.
These are the images I picture when I hear this beautiful melody in my ears. Never have I heard such angelic tones. This is the greatest masterpiece of our time.
