Not sure if discussed yet, but do you guys think the fact that we see Gaga's reflection in her rearview mirror when she's singing in the beginning of the MV has a meaning?

I interpreted it as yet another element to show "it wasn't real", you see a reflection, a mirage, an illusion.


 

 

Discuss.

No "reach" comments please :poot:

I kind of expected her to sing to her reflection/a mirror although it wasn't quite as deep as I expected it to be. It looks like it was just used for aesthetics

yep, and it's not a reach. it's a perfectly justified interpretation. the whole concept of the video is structured around the idea of mirroring reality: an illusion. 

edit: 

the fact that you used the word 'rearview' made me think of something else. we know that she's wearing a jacket with a BR reference on it. the lyrics of BR include the word 'rear window,' which is both a hitchcockian and a psychological (freudian?) reference. i mean, it could easily be understood as 'in the back of one's mind.' the PI video, thus, takes place in gaga's dark subconscious—a place halfway between reality and fantasy. :derpga:

Yes. Perhaps the mirror reflects reality but what we see is an illusion of  it.
