G.U.Y. - An ARTPOP Film/Single Discussion Topic (Views: 42M)

Do you think they are hoing to remove the credit later ?

I was wondering whether usage of MANiCURE during the credit means that MANiCURE won't be a single

It was better on second view.

 

Richie's choreo is so ... lacking in catchiness if you know what I mean.

I love the Phoenix part, ARTPOP sounds amazing, the Office part is great too, She looks so beautiful with the white wig and all those white roses but, all the other scenes ( the housewives, that scene with jesus and mj, the cohen's part etc... ) are just boring imo.

The intro is just perfect, hands down.

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.

Totally, the choreography is all over the place, i can't find a good movement in that choreography :^/

The good thing is that the cinematography of the video us so amazing that u can't see the flaws in the choreo :legend:

[Creyk 16,894]

Mine too (Black dick issues   )

I just loved the colors and the choreography.

(who would turn down a black dick tho) :whip:

[DrewStevens 5,249]

Do you guys think that her falling 3 times has something to do with Jesus? 

[HausOfMiklaus 1,803]

What are we saying.. that choreography lived up to Gaga's name! It was dynamic, energetic and fit so well with the song!

By the way, the fourth resurrectee is John Lennon in case people haven't discovered it in the credits:

Which would make that collection of men icons who were killed in a way by their own people. The plot thickens. :giveup:

2 Things:

1.) Anyone think the clone army thing could be a metaphor for Gaga replacing all the negative figures in her life and career i.e. Perez, Troy with people who support her, hence why her LG soldiers are taking over the offices of the music industry?

 

2.) The coffins represent Gaga returning to her roots during i.e. Jesus is Gaga's catholic upbringing so her finding resolution in religion, Gandhi is Gaga's morales i.e. peace + love and MJ is one of Gaga's biggest artist inspirations. The fact the fourth Coffin doesn't open/isn't shown could represent a role model of Gaga's life not being used anymore so it could be Madonna or Bowie, both massive artist inspirations for Gags, possibly (if there's any drama with Bowie. Nothing's ever been said really, just speculation but Madonna's pretty obvious on why she wouldn't be brought back into Gaga's psyche...)

Okay, the fourth coffin is John Lennon, haha. So again, another massive artist inspiration for Gaga representing art in mainstream pop [The whole Yoko era?]

yeah, the choreography is bah...    though I love dance scene with a black guy  :reductive: anyways, I guess we should't expect good choreography since Laurieann Gibson left - a monument to Judas should be built for being the last music video having good choreography

[Mythos 3,196]

I so love this :D

 

[Armand 31]

Where is G.U.Y now in itunes charts ?

405. Lady Gaga - G.U.Y.

[Weasel 12,525]

Was I the only one who found the pool scenes quite awkward btw? That wedding dress thing she had on was probably the best fashion from the video but it didn't get the visuals it deserved. She should've been on a platform in the pool while those synchronized swimmers swim around her.

I thought similar things when the fourth coffin was still shrouded in ~mystery~, it's the great thing about Gaga's art. My actual guess was Marilyn Monroe, from the trend of icons who died in tragic circumstances. But I guess they were meant to be all male. :teehee:
