Today's Viewings

I thought there were many interesting things about today's videos. The one that I like the most was "Hoppipolla" by Sigur Ros. The concept was great, and relatable, and ironic. Although eleborate music videos are very interesting and impressive, this simple story carried enough weight to hold its own against the other videos. As for Sigur Ros, I think it is an amazing feat to have such a huge hit that connects with people, and it is in a language that we don't understand.

The Gorillaz. I liked this video when it came out. It has a mixture of live action and animation, and Bruce Willis. How can you not love that? But, the very end shot was too predictable and not that bold.

I'd already seen the Spike Jonze one today, so here's another that is incredibly elaborate when you realize what they're doing. I think he is a really good director, and Being John Malkovich is one of my favorite movies. 

Music videos can be so diverse, and that's what makes the medium great.
