Dystopian Posted May 10, 2023 Posted May 10, 2023 An actual good video for the best song on the album

It’s not “BTS” shots…. It’s the depiction of the life of the actress. She ends up being murdered in the car seen and her body is found in the box. 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?
kikugalanet Posted May 10, 2023 Posted May 10, 2023 Love it, she looks gorgeous and the meta concept was well done

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
BeachRat Posted May 10, 2023 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.
wish Posted May 10, 2023 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
Patient Zero Posted May 10, 2023 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.
Big Bad Wolf Posted May 10, 2023 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?

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...

Kayseri Mantisi Posted May 10, 2023 Posted May 10, 2023 It literally just got uploaded for the third time

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. =/

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
Darius Posted May 11, 2023 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
CottageHore Posted May 11, 2023 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
