This is like the twits who put Beatles music under a microscope to “prove” Paul is dead. Some people need to get a life and stop making Christians look retarded.
I’m not particularly a fan of underwear videos since they are usually just a tactic to divert attention from the mediocrity of the performance. “Bad Romance” though is actually a pretty good video, something exceptionally rare today. It seems to owe more of its imagery to the Fifth Element and Nosferatu movies then to Baal and pagan sacrifice of the Middle Ages.
I also get a smile from the choreographer’s clever moves that make you forget that people can’t really do elaborate dance moves in those platform shoes. That stage had to sound like a barn with the clomping those shoes would produce.
Gaga herself I’m neither hot nor cold on. It’s too soon and I’m not familiar with her overall body of work. She seems to have some legitimate talent that needn’t rely on studio tricks. If so that ultimately will probably limit her career.
Also those snide spiteful remarks calling her a man seem pretty lame. Churlishness isn’t really a conservative value, no matter how hard some here work at it.
did you even watch the video? it wasn’t your typical conspiratorial nonsense. it starts getting especially interesting about 2 minutes into it.
as i said before:
The video spends time exploring the blatant occultic, Freudian, and Biblical symbols/references incorporated into several of the music video’s segments.
The symbolism is pretty subtle, only people with some sort of expertise in the field would catch the details and make the connections. (Things like ram’s heads, egyptian cats, the red crucifixes on the coffins, bath houses, etc...) Therefore, the power of the video is in the *subconscious* impact it has more than anything else.
I can’t be sure if Gaga is even aware of the meaning of all the symbols, but it’s clear, the DIRECTOR does. He obviously has a strong knowledge of all that stuff because he’s incorporated them in several other major videos he’s directed.
