CW: The Mission - Butterfly On A Wheel
The Mission - Butterfly On A Wheel
Ein echter Klassiker aus dem Jahr 1990: "Butterfly on a Wheel" von The Mission. Ein ruhiger, schwermütiger Song über das Ende einer Liebe und die Hoffnung, dass mit der Zeit alles wieder heilt.

"Gabriel's Oboe" is the main #theme for the 1986 film #TheMission, with #RobertDeNiro, #JeremyIrons, #LiamNeeson and directed by #RolandJoffé. The theme was written by #ItalianComposer #EnnioMorricone, and has since been #arranged and performed several times by artists such as #YoYoMa, Holly Gornik, and #BrynjarHoff, among others. The theme has been called "unforgettable" and a "celebrated #oboe melody".

Watching #TheMission (1986) in light of the current AI crisis in #HigherEducation.
The other day I happened to re-watch this 1986 #film by #RolandJoffé. I had last seen it 40 years ago when it came out. It has aged quite well. The depiction of the indigeneous #Guaraní people is embarrassingly superficial. And the idea that the Jesuit order was a benevolent force is of course laughable. But as a story of an institution that willingly sacrifices its purpose and moral integrity in a power game, the film works.
I can't help drawing parallels to the current AI corruption of higher education.
In Cardinal Altamirano (played by the excellent #RayMcAnally), we see the manager who knows that his action destroys the very rationale of his institution, yet he does it. The two priests (Jeremy Irons and Robert de Niro) are the ground-level staff who stay true to their calling and fight, in different ways. They vanish. Years later, the manager has the luxury of regret.

Ich schaue gerade nebenbei die Doku über "Status Quo" auf arte. Da fällt mir wieder ein, dass The Mission den ersten Hit dieser Band "Pictures of Matchstick Men" coverten.
Dieser Song wurde anscheinend nur auf einer Maxi-CD veröffentlicht und ich finde es auch nicht bei den üblichen Streaminganbietern, YouTube oder Bandcamp. Daher nur ein Foto aus meiner Sammlung als Beleg ;-)BTW: "Rockin all over the world" ist im Original nicht von Status Quo.
