I’m trying to connect the dots Even just for the purposes of atmosphere, depicting such unsettling scenes in a fairly innocuous setting (suburbia in the daytime) gives the video an uncanniness/surreality.

YASKALE 432 Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 1 minute ago, Chlorine said: Do the Gagas correspond to albums... or... The ones in the room were like twins... so... And did the one at the end come OUT of Mother Plague? or... did Mother Plague just puke on her? My take: BTW Gaga is driving the car. (More on that in a second.) ARTPOP Gaga is the one that got hit because that was the 'derailment' moment. Joanne Gaga pulls ARTPOP gaga off the car both because they're fighting (crazy vs. relatable) and also as a memory to Gaga's gram ("don't be so maudlin.") TF/TFM are twins and are fighting. One is literally on the back of another, but the other is bound to the ceiling, so they both project attempts, but also futile, attempts at liberation. BTW Gaga bears witness to this to this 'dance' (remember the BTW MV manifesto: "But she wondered / How can I protect something so perfect without evil?"). Chromati-Ga gets vomited out, likely in reference to Gaga's own comments about dancing through pain. I think the claustrophobia bits are nods to Covid/Covid-era. When all is said and done, BTW Gaga is the only one remaining, now 'purged' of the thing that has been holding her down, and is about to take the world via slayage. 2 3 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roughhouse Dandy 8,398 Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 12 minutes ago, Kermit the frog said: That scene when she's suspended and treading over her own body is a masterpiece. The choreography in it, the unease it causes (a dark figure watching, being in an impossible situation, the torture, the lighting) and on top of that she's serving ****ing CVNT 😭😭😭 It's visually stimulating, creepy and bombastic. I haven't seen this from her in years. Incredible, 14 more of these please. YES! The watching figure was giving me MARAT/SADE vibes and I wonder if that was on the mood board for this project. Arnauld's Theatre of Cruelty philosophy has for sure inspired several of her projects before and M/S can be linked to brutalism too 🤓 This is my Hannah Montana™️ lipgloss. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley 8,598 Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 This video was so powerful in its message, I loved it. Also could the fact that there was no choreo mean Parris Goebel replaced Richie as main choreographer on tour? Just saying because I know there were some concerns that she would only be involved with the video, and not actually replacing Richie. So I think that’s a good sign.

I’m sad there isn’t a big choreographed dance sequence and the video felt sort of like a mash up of things we’ve already seen from her before, specifically John Wayne and You and I. And you know what, that’s okay. In my opinion, Gaga’s lead singles for the past couple albums (Perfect Illusion and Stupid Love) have not been the strongest work from her albums so I’m really looking forward to seeing what the rest of the album brings. Get off the cross, sis. We need the wood. So patronizing and needlessly obnoxious to call people having differing opinions “groupthink.” 10 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the ending scene with the closing/claustrophobic walls the most though! Any explanation on why this wasn’t filmed/set at night? It was filmed at daylight on purpose to increase contrast with her dark personas. The darkness is within her, from what I understood. But I'm sure we'll see her dancing in the shadows at some point of this era. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantasmas 9,927 Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 my only critique: wish she wore her septum jewelry to make her face seem more striking.. but i understand keeping her character bare with almost no accessories so its cool 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putang Ina Mo 2,060 Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 (edited) I see the comments of it not being "grand" but I think it's it's intentional since she's giving a 2000s-2010s horror movie vibe. On some parts of the video, I can see Jeepers Creepers and It Follows from it. It's been a while since I've seen her angry look in a video. With that being said, I LOVE the MV. DarkGa is BACK!

ReplayBoss 171 Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 Here's my thoughts on the different Gagas. The monster could actually be the person who ***** Stefani especially since it opens with her seemingly dropped off at a neighborhood. The other one is current stefani running away. Majority of people have already pointed out blond gaga being ARTPOP Gaga but the way she was introduced in the video was out of nowhere kinda like how the Act 2 petition came out of nowhere which could have opened up wounds again. The two Gaga chains could be maybe Fame era or her fibromyalgia pain from that trauma which explains why the monster watches over her. The puked Gaga is chromatica Gaga since it was probably the closest she ever got to confronting that trauma head one and tried to accept it like she did in Chromatica. This video is ****ing amazing. The scars on my mind are on replay, r-replay 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
