Comparative nuclear theory, set to music

Check out this video from YouTube:

The above video clip is a collage of nuclear test explosions set to the heady, intense rock 'n roll of P.O.D., a pseudo-hard core band. The images, synthesized with the musical intensity, seem to evoke feelings and images of power and control. While it's difficult to judge whether these images are pro- or anti- nuclear weapons--or neither--it is undeniable that the visuals are given a certain power by the thrash factor of the music. Now, compare that video with the following one:

This video, set to the music of Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On," might be satiric on the part of the video creator, but it cannot be denied that these images certainly possess a much more serene and reflective quality when put to a different soundtrack. As opposed to thinking in terms of power and control, one begins to think of nuclear technology in more existential terms. There is even an odd, paradoxical feeling of beauty when one looks at the images while listening to the song in the background.
You might be asking yourself, "What is the point of all this?" There are two points I am trying to get across here. First off, I am trying to further prove my point that visual rhetoric is an extension of the thought of argument as dialectic. We have images juxtaposed with music, and the music has a way of changing the mood that we might associate with the images. Second, I am using this discussion of nuclear technology as a way of launching into my next post about the way that much argument in today's visual age accommodates itself to visual rhetoric. But more on that later.
