Jeremiah Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 I didn’t really get if the backstage footage was either typical modern Lana inserting her crew in her art or part of the mv concept. I know she explains it midway but I don’t feel like going back to that minute on listen closely on phone. I found it interesting, with the Marilyn (?) and Black Daliah references. Felt somewhat like an immersion on her sick obsession of the tragic Hollywood life that now she lives too. Waiting for better analysis tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indie Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 (edited) 22 minutes ago, Innocencelost said: Elaborate please cause I think I didn’t get it tbh So, I assumed the song was about a toxic relationship with a man, but the video alludes to her intentions being more about the toxicity of fame. She reflected that in the video by representing a bunch of old Hollywood stereotypes like Marilyn who died by the fame and the Hollywood lifestyle. And I think the reason the video goes to colour at the end and she starts smiling is because she does things on her own terms now after living that way for years, especially in the Born to Die era which is why there are a couple throwback looks. The lyrics of the song reflect on how she fell for the allure of fame, particularly this verse seems more clear if you consider it being about her relationship with fame: Sittin' on the sofa, feelin' supеr suicidal Hate to say the word, but, baby, hand on the Bible, I do Feel like it's you the one who's bringin' me down Thought that we were cool and we were kickin' it like Tribe Called Quest You the best, but, baby, you've been bringin' me down I can see it now In reality, the BTS footage is the actual video, and the professional glamour shots are what she is mocking in a sense.

BrokenMachine Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 I really liked the concept, because who needs another video of her in a mansion flirting with an old man when we already have videos like Blue Jeans or Shades Of Cool of her doing the same? It's better to show what goes behind all of this 'luxury' and 'cool visuals', interpolating Lana as an artist and as a person. Also I keep thinking about the final scene with the words 'opulence is the end' on my mind. She reached 'opulence' (getting praise, a star in the walk of fame) by 'dying' (with tons of paps dehumanizing her death), just like Marilyn, Whitney, Amy, etc. The Marilyn wig and the Amy-kinda-hairstyle by the end is not a mere coincidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's there to show all the entertainment world is fake ...at the moment she gets her star it's all just a set like for the music videos and not real life.

G.U.Y_Del_Rey Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 (edited) This video is very well made, she always has some kind of vision and I love ha for that. Also, she truly nails all those looks, one of those wigs gave me BTD era vibes (which I guess was the point).

May Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 nah sorry not vibing w it i get the concept but all of the shots of the camera screens just serve as a reminder that the footage that was non-BTS would’ve been an amazing music video. no need to insert the BTS stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it’s part of the concept, it’s the whole video after all, but my question is rather the purpose of it. I don’t think it’s just to show her people because her family would be present (although they’re credited), so (my personal take) I guess she tries to depict the elaboration of the Hollywood tragedy, just not sure how close to home it is for her because imo most of her glamorous persona still feels fantasy. Very curious at the end when the visuals gain colors. Is it a then/now? Them/me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frozen99 Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 the old btd hair made me feel things the video is really cool, i like the style, the blonde wig but there should've been two videos, a proper clip AND a bts one now we need visuals for A&W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
