thatfoxyfeeling 13,033 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Just now, Doot said: Same for when the guy goes to kiss her and she turns away. I think that was supposed to be him trying CPR and her trying to stop him. Yeah just before he goes to kiss her he wraps his fingers around her ankle referring to him in reality putting on the tourniquet. It's got so many metaphor, layers and references I LOVE this!

Steccazero 3,453 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I feel so sad for all the people thinking that the esotheric symbolism = tacky You really would learn something by reading the books of watching the films by Jodorowski for a start! Not to be a bitch, but it's really amazing and deep symbolism pls get into this ***uettery Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a tourniquet, a medical device used to stop excessive bleeding. I am thou, thou art I Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwerk 7,263 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I cried. My goodness this is powerful, my heart is racing, no joke, wauw. I live how she translated her mind racing dealing with trauma to all these images. And at the same time the video has a lightness and beauty to it because of how she looks and moves that you're kind of in the confusion and the pleasantness with her and then pulled out of it. Its hard to explain but I love this so much. Her best video ever. According to Gaga I'm a ****ing rad bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelbHawker 6,583 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I’ve been watching it on repeat since it premiered. I didn’t vibe it the first time I watched it, but an hour into watching it, I’m honestly mind blown. It’s a video that is, at face value confusing yet beautiful. Once you start understanding the narrative, the symbolism .. it becomes an experience, one that changes again & again after each watch. So, from what I understand this is entirely about her mental state and not being able to decipher what is real & what isn’t. It’s also about the self-blame that she experiences with her mental issues. & a subtle yet relevant commentary on society/race/status in that last scene in the video - I was impressed with her acting there. The outfits are a SERVE. The blue Frida Khalo inspired get up was stunning. I’m obsessed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorehound 4,739 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I loved the video! So many references to diverse art and indie film cultures. I was beginning to get tired of her doing videos centered entirely around choreography like the previous two videos so this was a total breath of fresh air Gaga is at her best when she does weird shocking videos that bemuse and unsettle people. Art is meant to disturb. I'm fine, Ta Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Katy is creative at all and she couldn't pull off a 911. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
