Untitled post for the video untitled
In a side note with the overrunning of the spaglinsh in this country, is in coincidence that the b and v on the keyboard are right next to each other?
Ok, back to the video reviews:
Lets start with the canon to add to this running installment:
More music videos.
Greatest Videos of all Time:
Video #2
A-Ha – Take on Me. In most lists this is in the top ten or top five. But really, I can think of a few videos that may be better in the history of the medium. I have a few which may be # 1, but that’s a whole post.
Why is this a great video, and among the best of all time?
Well, its probably the most complete fantasy romance of all time.
I mean, she gets the guy through unreal odds. I mean, he’s a cartoon, and he becomes real because of her.
In terms of likelihood’s of romance, that’s the last on the list before you get into desperate ugly people.
But you know that. It’s the cartoon and real life video that was shatteringly original when it came out that made the band a one hit wonder.
But it’s the drama of the media within the video of the real versus the hopeful which not only makes the whole thing endlessly watchable, but so endearing.
The drama is simple but oh so familiar and quaint. And 9 times out of 10, that equals success.
For this video, in the way that it is done, it equals romantic gold. I mean this video pack the punch of Say Anything or Pretty Woman in a 4 minute punch.
Why does it succeed? Because it has the trait of all great art, it makes you believe.
Grade: 100/100
A+
Song: Untitled
Artist: Simple Plan
Until the internet access is at its full point where I can link these videos, this is one of those posts where viewer has to have seen something before they read about my opinion. Other than the fact that there is a lost communiqué between me the writer and the reader, it is a big deal because you have to see this video. Unless you watch MTV hits as much as I do, you will not be able to see this video as easily as you should.
This is a bad group’s attempt at a great, serious video. They take on the topic of drunk driving and teen mistakes.
This equates to: A terrible video about life and death in simple terms, done in a wildly overdone fashion.
It’s so overly overwrought in its missive statements that I am struggling to come up with a synonym for shitty, 80’s feeling concept video.
There is a point in the video where the innocent girl is involved in the (because it’s close to prom point about responsibility) drunk driving accident, and instead of showing the crash, they show the effect on the family
The members of the fam are tossed in a brutal manner as if they were in the actual accident. This happens, not coincidentally to the moment in the song where a totally 80’s guitar wail comes in. The level of cheesiness of this power chord? Think the opening theme of Baywatch.
The whole thing would be touching if not for the fact that it was totally hilarious in the execution.
This video feels like it was one of those goofy, let’s make a point, 80’s videos about bad things.
Just watch it.
