Man o’ Steel

Watched Man of Steel, the second Superman reboot of the past decade, a couple of weeks ago and, yeah, it was okay. Truth be told: it was better than the first reboot, but I still can’t remember much of the film. The Krypton scenes and accompanying special effects were very, very neat, and the actor portraying Superman did a decent enough job (Superman will always be Christopher Reeve for me). But what really stuck with me was –

How Wagnerian! Would love to hear this played live on a Bayreuthian orchestra. Or transcribed into two dozen guitars of all makes and models, acoustic, electric, distorted, phased, a veritable late-70s Jimmy Page guitar army a la Presence manned by Brian May. Or some combination of the two. I think it would be the closest thing to attaining satori from waves of sound.
