bryan 646 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I've only just watched ASIB because it is just released today in my flop country. Watched the first screening anyway heh. Really brilliant movie, really didn't expect to hit me this hard despite knowing that it will. A Sis Is Bawling. Also, I'm not too sure if this has been discussed before, else just move this thread to where it belongs. That aside, let the spoiler begin. Spoiler So, to the lyrics of Shallow: I'm off the deep end, watch as I dive inI'll never meet the ground Is this major foreshadowing in the song?? Because I was so mindblown after watching the movie and then when I was jamming myself in the shower to this song I realised this.. Spoiler And to dig even deeper, the first two versions of ASIB, Norman died from drowning in the ocean. So that might be a nod towards these two versions from the first two lines of the chorus of Shallow? Or am I just reaching for the stars? This has to be intended right?

iCpro 14,846 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I noticed this: Spoiler In the opening scene when Jackson arrives to the gay bar, there’s a gay pride flag outside with nooses on it, not related to Shallow but it’s pretty major foreshadowing 08, 09, 11, 13, 16, 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frivolero 3,695 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 you can also say when the committed suicide, "crash through the surface, where they can't find us, we're far from the shallow now" the world above knows about the passing of a person, but they "can't find us" , "we are far from the shallow now" that means they are far from the shallow world they live in thus the gaga saying: "we live in a pretty shallow time" I also think "we are far" and "can't find us" should insinuate either gaga is also dead inside, or dying with Bradley (sequel) ??

Poker 3,306 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Well, I haven't thought about that but it could be Also, Spoiler I believe in the first two versions, they couldn't depict the suicide in any other way. It was very common in literature to show a suicide by drowning in the ocean. It gives this idea of freeing yourself from society and give in into the unknown. Of course this was done in a poetic way. Nowdays, everthing is more real so they go for different ways to portrait this. Kindness rules all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed older movies portray suicides in more subtle ways than a direct depiction of an actual suicide so that's entirely possible! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schizophonic 5,103 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 its foreshadowing on purpose bradley said in interviews. even in the grammy scene, you knew there was somethin awkward to happen and its more about the several different layers than the act itself in that case.

jjaa91 74 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 "Maybe it's time to let the old ways die" The ENTIRE movie makes SO much more sense the 2nd time around. I know it's a musical, per se, but it was a bit hard to follow the first time. Watching the movie a 2nd time after getting to fully enjoy/absorbe the soundtrack really changed the entire feel and vibe of the movie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FullPsychotic 128 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I don't know if the lyrics of the chorus have to be related, in the movie Ally says she wrote the lyrics in the past days so before knowing him except the part "tell me something boy" which she created in the parking...so unless Ally is a seer... I don't know Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
