“Once upon a time, man learned to master fire.
Something no other living creature had done before
him. Man conquered the entire world. One day he
found a new fire. A fire so powerful that it could
never be extinguished. Man reveled in the thought
that he now possessed the powers of the universe.
Then in horror, he realized that his new fire
could not only create but also destroy. Not only
could it burn on land but inside all living
creatures; inside his children, the animals, all
crops. Man looked around for help, but found none.
And so he built a burial chamber deep in the bowels
of the earth, a hiding place for the fire to
burn, into eternity.”
—Michael Madsen: Writer, Director, Narrator, Into Eternity
