Well as I understand it, "Ode to Joy" was originally an ode written by Friedrich Schiller. Later Beethoven put it to music in his Ninth Symphony. As far as I can tell, it's energy is just that awesome. It's been used in many videos and movies, including the "Die Hard" movies. In fact, I believe that is the reason why so many action-/violence- oriented clips utilize the symphony.

"The American President", Directed by Rob Reiner. I absolutely love this movie and I watch it often. I never get tired of it! I'm constantly amazed by the genius of the dialogue and I always feel safe with it playing on the television. It's an inspiration to me as a writer and it shows a glimmer of hope, at least to me, that maybe our country could turn around and be all right after all.

You can ask me anything and I'll give the best answer I can. My subjects are unlimited, but my knowledge and comfort lay in: writing, reading, movies, symbols, mythology and some philosophy.
