Sisyphus

The original song used was regrettably replaced by a royalty-free track from the Youtube library, you can view the original dubbed video at http://vimeo.com/2617669. Thank you.

-----------------------------------

Wiki: In Greek mythology, Sisyphus (Greek: Σίσυφος [sí.sy.phos] ['si.si.fos] (help·info), Latinized: Sisyphus, (IPA: /ˈsɪsɨfəs/)), was a king punished in Tartarus by being cursed to roll a huge boulder up a hill, only to watch it roll down again, and to repeat this throughout eternity.

Today, Sisyphean can be used as an adjective meaning that an activity is unending and/or repetitive. It could also be used to refer to tasks that are pointless and unrewarding.

Inspired by Donnie Darko and Albert Camus' The Myth of Sisyphus.

Consider this a swansong video at least for the year 2008 A.D.

Haunting music provided by Echo And The Bunnymen, suitably titled as "The Killing Moon".

Well, one can't defy concomitant the law of gravity and wind. Which I thought was a nice touch to the video theme of futility in things and giving in to fate (if you listen to the lyrics in the song - Fate, up against your will, through the thick and thin.). Heh.
