The end is her in heaven at the unveiling of her Hollywood star. i couldn’t give two shits what the video is based on, it’s a bad video. what now?

I get the concept and think it was 99% well executed, and yet I can’t help but feel she ruined what would have been her best mv ever can someone talented pls take the non BTS scenes, as well as the ones from the visualizer, and make an actual video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeachRat Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 also take in mind that in the cover she’s referencing Natalie Wood. a golden age hollywood star that was murdered. HER MIND. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wish Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 the concept is pretty cool, honestly think i would have preferred a standard video though... gorgeous song & one of my faves on DYKTTATUOABCDEFG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patient Zero Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 I watched it all and I was mesmerized the whole time. Stunning. The actual video looks absolutely amazing. I hope we’ll get a cut of that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bad Wolf Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 I don’t understand all of her references to death or tragedy. Especially on an album that reflects on the death of her loved ones. Not trying to criticize her at all, just wondering how they’re connected in context of the album. Death is something that fascinates Lana (I think that’s fair to say?). She’s thought about her own death. What I don’t fully understand is referencing these Hollywood stars that were met with foul play. Is she trying to tell us something deeper, or am I overthinking it? Is this connected with the metaphor for the title track and maybe fears of being forgotten? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole album is about legacy, and in my opinion this video represents some o the album's themes especially with the "two seconds to cry" lyric being emphasized with the various personas/tragic figures she goes through. The video is deep and the connection to the title track is something i hadn't thought about you're onto something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The end is her in heaven at the unveiling of her Hollywood star. It comes across as behind the scenes footage of Lana filming a MV, not the concept you just described. No one is going to get the reference immediately and even for those that do (lol), the break from the music to behind the scenes footage is still super jarring in almost every way possible. I'm just a bit salty over this bc it could have easily been her most streamlined, high production MV for the greater half of the past decade. =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has a degree in metaphysics and philosophy, so I'm guessing that's where most of the references to death/life/fame come from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 I get the concept and all but the non-BTS scenes are so gorgeous! Hopefully a ‘fan demanded’ version is released Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CottageHore Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 I appreciate the concept and love the looks she’s serving. I do feel like it actually elevated the song a little for me. Would’ve preferred a standard video, but I also get that the BTS shots were all part of it and without it, there’d essentially be no video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
