Who breaks a butterfly upon a wheel flimen?
Butterfly on a Wheel (US: Shattered, Europa: Desperate Hours) er en britisk-canadisk thrillerfilm fra 2007, instrueret af Mike Barker, co-produceret og skrevet af William Morrissey og med Pierce Brosnan, Gerard Butler og Maria Bello i hovedrollerne. Filmens titel er en hentydning til en linje i Alexander Popes digt "Epistle to Dr. Arbuthnot": "Hvem knækker en sommerfugl på et hjul?" Linjen fortolkes normalt som et spørgsmål om, hvorfor nogen ville lægge store anstrengelser i at opnå noget mindre eller ubetydeligt, eller hvem der ville straffe en mindre forseelse med en uforholdsmæssig stor straf.
Butterfly on a Wheel (US: Shattered, Europe: Desperate Hours) is a 2007 British–Canadian mystery thriller film directed by Mike Barker, co-produced and written by William Morrissey, and starring Pierce Brosnan, Gerard Butler, and Maria Bello. The film's title is an allusion to a line of Alexander Pope's poem "Epistle to Dr Arbuthnot": "Who breaks a butterfly upon a wheel?" The line is usually interpreted as questioning why someone would put great effort into achieving something minor or unimportant, or who would punish a minor offender with a disproportional punishment.
