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".

  • is the song in the very very beginning still the killing moon??

    hehe... donnie darko :}

  • The audio in the beginning is taken directly from the movie - Donnie Darko's introduction scene. =)

  • man the guy shooting the video is awesome..

    HAHA

    but on a more serious note, well done with the video!

  • Indeed, I heard he is awesome too! =P

    Thanks on the other note!

  • lol card drop @ 2:00

  • 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.

see all
