Summer Wars (2009) - epic social MMO [2]

Sword Art Online (2012) - stuck in virtual world MMO [3]

I find this holds for music as well. From Beethoven's Ninth Symphony to Vivaldi's Summer to Nine Inch Nail's The Downward Spiral, one simply cannot grasp all the concepts, ideas, conflicts, and motifs in a single listening. In fact, even after listening to them for _decades_ I still find nuances and expressions that I've never noticed before.

Another interesting thing about classical music in particular is that different conductors will emphasize different motifs. Listen to Furtwrangler vs Bernstein conducting the fore-mentioned Ninth, for example. It is like seeing two photographs of the same person: obviously the same body but completely different representations. And each teaches us something different about the Beethoven's intentions and inspiration.
