One thing I always liked about this theme: it's a waltz. A slow, spiraling dance into oblivion...
@f.herumusu83414 жыл бұрын
It's written in 3/4, but that does not make it automatically a waltz. At least I can't imagine someone dancing to it at the vienna opera ball.
@targetdreamer2574 жыл бұрын
Good observation it does feel like a waltz even though I can really say on on the other. Even so I still love this piece.

@Retrorevelations3 жыл бұрын
@@cartshort1286 The original film IS actually incredibly well written. It was, in its way, absolutely Disney's attempt to cash in on the success of Star Wars. But thankfully they didn't blatantly rip off that masterpiece, instead making something wholly unique and their own. The Black Hole was a very intelligent, and actually surprisingly very dark film, considering it was produced by Disney (back when they still made good things and weren't yet a soulless Mega-Corp). I don't personally agree that the film has "major flaws". I think it was actually a very well thought out story, and the execution, for its time, was actually state of the art. Could it have been even better? Of course. But I don't think a modern remake, with a ton of CGI and silly modern sensibilities, would be any "better". My one major nitpick about the film, is the incredibly vague, super-bizarre ending sequence. But, then again, that was the artistic choice of the director/etc. at the time. But otherwise, I earnestly do consider this movie not just a classic, but a masterpiece in its own way. One of Disney's best live-action efforts, right up there with 20,000 Leagues, Treasure Island, and Escape to Witch Mountain.

You gotta hand it to these genius movie score composers, they really know how to convey emotion through symphony orchestra music. I couldn’t imagine more appropriate or ominous accompaniment music for watching a passing black hole as it consumes the planets, asteroids, sun, and all the matter in our solar system. (Kind of like a space Nero) Maurice Jarre was one of these geniuses; he composed the music for the 1962 movie “Lawrence of Arabia” for which he won an academy award, and in my opinion is the greatest movie music score of all time.

20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, but with Nemo as a narcissistic megalomaniac. It was Disney's very first PG rated film. The tech is dated, the science is inaccurate based on what we now know of black holes, some of the dialogue is nonsensical, and the whole thing is a bit campy at times, but there are these little throwaway moments that hint at something much deeper and much darker. If they got some good writers in, and utilized what we now know of black holes, I would love to see a reboot.

R-136a1 is the largest known star in terms of mass as opposed to diameter. It weighs in at 265 times the Sun's mass. It is a blue hypergiant and is nearly 9 million times as bright as the sun is. Its habitable zone is nearly a tenth of a light year away, about 1 trillion km or 625 billion miles. When it explodes, it will outshine a thousand galaxies so great the explosion will be. That's not a mere supernova. That's a hypernova. Its apparent magnitude will likely rival that of the Sun. We will have two suns in the sky for about three months when that happens. It can go hypernova anytime.
