Silvy 2 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I think it was John Lennon since he shows up in the credits but not in the video. Yeah, I've noticed that too... but why they pay an actor and didn't show him? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Axel 644 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Okay this definitely tops Applause as my favorite video this era and probably even my favorite video of her ever It was a perfect fusion of ART and POP, along with the themes of her career and the music industry and that whole story, it was pretty much perfection, and the implementing of ARTPOP and Venus was so fitting too ʟɪᴠɪɴɢ ᴛʜᴇ ɢᴏʟᴅ ᴀɴᴅ ᴛʜᴇ ꜱɪʟᴠᴇʀ ᴅʀᴇᴀᴍ ϟ†▽✰𝒿 ~ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMILE2NE1 3,566 Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 The Secret Society is known as G.U.Y. - girl under you. She's under you (no longer at the top of the music industry) but she's in control and powerful. Gaga and her idea of society - you don't need to be on top to be powerful in the artistic sphere, in relationships and in the music industry. The Price of Commercialism is the death of ART Gaga has crash landed. She was a soaring phoenix during the incipient years of her rise in the pop industry. With her streaks of number 1s on the pop charts, that night she won 10 VMAs and winning multiple Grammys. She was also a cultural juggernaut. However, after Born This Way, an injury and being cast out, she is left to die by those who only used her for money. The know that she is a money maker, however they don't care about her. ART lies DEAD under the money of the men of the music industry. Pop reigns supreme. But A hybrid can withstand these things Gaga's struggle to her feet reflects her solitude in the battle to be herself in a world where men only want to use her for money. Venus, love and the need to rebirth Neptune Pool is a cesspool for creativity. The HAUS and embryonic creative space bring her and heal her mind and soul - giving her the opportunity to rebirth from a safe space. It is both a funeral to lay to rest the pain of the past and a state of rebirth. While she's rebirthing and absent from the music industry, it is taken over by RHOBH like artists - A commentary on mindless money making hollow music Appear awkward, glitz and glam while faux playing instruments. It is a commentary on shoving mindless and substance-less music down people's throats. If I'm rich, if I can afford it, put me in a music video and make me look musical and professional. It is intentionally awkward. They would know that the blonde lady is playing the chello in the wrong position. REBIRTH/Neptune Pool/Visual Filler Dance scene, fashion, scenic crane shots - what a music video should be Room full of rebirthed "Saints" "Philosophers" "Musical Icons"/ Cloning There is a reference to Minecraft "/gamemode ARTPOP" (and previously Andy Cohen and the RHOBH - a show Gaga has professed to love). These together could represent elements of Gaga's hobbies during the time of her injury. They are interspersed as comical and interesting parts of her personal life. They take the DNA of Jesus (Love, Powerful, Wisdom), Ghandi, (Love, Wisdom), MJ (Talent, Love) and create a society of those who serve art (men in black suits). It is interesting to note that Ghandi, MJ and Jesus were all betrayed by the people they served. There is a duality here, Gaga could be talking about the love and compassion she spreads with her Little Monsters. Taking over the Industry Gaga blasts money to distract the money hungry music machine. With that opportunity, she uses it to push art, love and compassion into the industry. She removes the management from before. The reign of the money machine is over. The world is now safe for her little monsters and people to leave the castle. For ART and POP to belong together.

ModernEcstasy 8,584 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I absolutely love it! However I do think the parts with TRHOBH almost ruin it. I also don't feel that Venus fits it for some reason. The dancing is just........Amazing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJHolland 12,723 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 My first interpretations:Andy Cohen and the Real Housewives are modern pop cultural icons, showing up in Gaga's "Alice in Wonderland" visionary creative state she mentioned regarding that scene. These pop images are warped into Greek muses and gods, inspiring her creatively as a model of ART from POP. The resurrection (from what I saw) seemed to be of four individuals: Jesus, Gandhi, John Lennon, Michael Jackson, each an icon that plays a direct role in Gaga's integral values: home, family and religion, peace, tolerance and world unity, pop culture, showbiz and artistry. Throughout her career, she has tried to embody all of these qualities, "bringing back" the traits that influenced her in the people she loved. Her literal "interface" engineered for this operation is modern pop/tech/gaming icon MineCraft, representing her use of popular media, fame and culture to carry out her mission. These legends' blood is synthesized for their essence and used to create an army of ARTPOP industry drones to inject Gaga's trifecta of moral and artistic values into the music business from the inside out. EDIT: Holy crap, the Minecraft dude is a YouTube celebrity. Part of her tool for societal perpetuation is social media, kids. Perfection G.U.Y./Gaga-- SLAYAGE SkyDoesMineCraft- SLAYAGE Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
