Wheel O' Fortuna

Hollywood has an amzing talent for destroying, nay, trivializing just about anything. Among the towering pile of cultural detritus is the once frightning
Carl Orff classic "O Fortuna". After innumberal appearances in film this epic crashing, thrashing animal has been defanged. The intro and outro to the opera Carmina Burana(1935-36) "O Fortuna" gives the listener a feeling of epic struggle. It's as intense as any Wagnerian Heavy Metal piece and invokes such
primal human feelings I'm inclined to think that its dumbing down can be attributed to some grand conspiracy. Its common knowledge that The Church
openly repressed tons of music that contained "Mi Contra Fa" or "Diabolis In Musica" plainly: The Devil's Music. O Fortuna has that in spades. Why else would this short(in terms of Opera) piece be so overplayed? It's in EVERYTHING.

From beer commercials and your local stadium's jumbotron to awesome movies
like Excalibur and awful movies like Paul Blart mallcop, O Fortuna is a joke.
No more is it contextualized in a serious manner. Whenever I hear it's first notes I know it's gonna result in a bad joke. The feeling of epic adventure turns to some bumbling fat ass klutzin' around a mall. Where once this amazing piece of modern classical music could inspire the most sodden spud to sword weilding mayhem it is now doubtful that it could even inspire a chuckle from summer blockbuster audiences who(even with their doubious tastes)certainly have heard enough. The Hollywood movie machine is but an extension of America's own propaganda factories and just as the Church tried to keep the Devil's Jams down in Hell where they belong, America will not stand by and let the common couch dwelling spud-masses aspire to anything more powerful than Jack Black in a CGI panda suit. I'm not saying that some Snidely Whiplash character is sitting up in the White House or a corporate boardroom stroking his handlebars, cackling
"NYAAAH HAA HAAAAAHHH!!" and then pressing a button that turns subversive art, music and literature into safe numbing gumdrops.(if it were that easy I'd just call Dudley Do-right, but he's from Canada).But it seems like an effort is being made to quash these things by way of trivializing them.
