Talk:Lux Aeterna (Requiem for a Dream)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I don't think this one track need to be separated from the Requiem for a Dream (soundtrack) article. One reason for the RfaD(s) article was to collect the uses of this track, which had started to clutter up both the Requiem for a Dream film & Clint Mansell pages. But now it is yet another page removed from this, and the link is not obvious.

Unless a valid argument for separating this track from the album page is given, I will re-merge it back. The Yeti 00:03, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

It's because this is the track that Requiem for a Dream is most famous for - I highly doubt that any track other than Lux Aeterna has been used in such a widespread fashion. Even from the soundtrack page: "Lux Æterna" has since become extremely popular, with both the original and the remix having appeared in a wide variety of commercials and trailers.

In my opinion, that makes it notable enough to merit its own article. Plus, it reduces clutter from the soundtrack article when 90% is about LA. Will 22:59, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't know -- although I have been working on cleaning up this article, I don't really see why it's better here than as a "Lux Aeterna"-specific subsection of the soundtrack article. I find it unlikely that this page -- little more than a stub -- will ever expand into a full-fledge article. ~CS 00:26, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
When people try to do internet searches on "that music from The Two Towers / Sunshine / etc trailer", they are most likely to find the answer Requiem for a Dream or Requiem for a Tower; not Lux Aeterna. That is a good reason to merge it back, as the whole point of Wikipedia is to help people find info on a topic.
And the fact that one of the "other uses" had to be moved from here back to RfaD(s) sort of invalidates the first reply given to the proposal above.
Besides, the original location [RfaD(s)] was - firstly not that long anyway, and - secondly only been in existence for a couple of weeks. The Yeti 03:20, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
imdb forums ... virtually all call it Requiem for a Dream/Tower. Lux Aeterna is only added as an afterthought, if at all.
