London 2012: Olympic ceremony role for Underworld duoUnderworld ... op zich al symbolisch genoeg
Is ook een film uit 2012 :
Selene (Beckinsale), de vampierenstrijdster, is net uit een twaalfjarige cryogene slaap ontwaakt. De wereld is in die periode drastisch veranderd: de mens heeft het bestaan van vampieren en weerwolven ontdekt, en voert een meedogenloze oorlog om beide onsterfelijke soorten uit te roeien. (

Ze ontwaakt uit een 12jarige slaap ?
De openingsceremonie wordt geopend met het geluid van een immense klok
Huge bell set to ring in London 2012 Olympics met daarop een inscriptie van Shakespeare : "Be not afeard, the isle is full of noises."
quote:
“Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises,
Sounds, and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears; and sometime voices,
That, if I then had waked after long sleep,
Will make me sleep again: and then, in dreaming,
The clouds methought would open, and show riches
Ready to drop upon me; that, when I waked,
I cried to dream again.”
William Shakespeare - The Tempest
Een grote klok ... hoe origineel ...

2012 ... London Calling ... the Clash
quote:
London calling to the faraway towns
Now war is declared, and battle come down
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard, you boys and girls
London calling, now don't look to us
Phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust
London calling, see we ain't got no swing
'Cept for the ring of that truncheon thing
[Chorus 1:]
The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin
Engines stop running, but I have no fear
'Cause London is drowning, and I live by the river
London calling to the imitation zone
Forget it, brother, you can go it alone
London calling to the zombies of death
Quit holding out, and draw another breath
London calling, and I don't wanna shout
But while we were talking, I saw you nodding out
London calling, see we ain't got no high
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes
[Chorus 2: x2]
The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Engines stop running, the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear error, but I have no fear
'Cause London is drowning, and I live by the river
Now get this
London calling, yes, I was there, too
An' you know what they said? Well, some of it was true!
London calling at the top of the dial
After all this, won't you give me a smile?
London calling
I understand how you feel. You see, it's all very clear to me now. The whole thing. It's wonderful.
