Sun Ra documentary 2005

O, we sing this song to... abolish sorrow

O, we sing this song for... the great tomorrow

"Sun Ra and his Arkestra were the subject of a few documentary films, notably Robert Mugge's 'A Joyful Noise' (1980), which interspersed performances and rehearsals with Sun Ra's commentary on various subjects ranging from today's youth to his own place in the cosmos. 

Don Letts' 'Sun Ra, Brother From Another Planet' from 2005, reuses some of Mugge's material and includes some additional interviews."

4. If a fake apple and a real apple are filmed so that one cannot be distinguished from the other on the screen, this is not ability, but incompetence - inability to photograph.

The real apple has to be filmed in such a way that no counterfeit can be possible. the real apple can be tasted and eaten, while the artificial one cannot - a good cameraman can understand this easily.
