Lady Gaga - Alejandro

HadouKen24 says...

I actually liked it. It's a tremendously complex video that rewards watching it several times and expending effort interpreting it. The man with the gun--did he shoot Gaga, or is planning to shoot himself? Perhaps he--Alejandro, apparently--is meant to signify a gay man trapped in a straight marriage. Note that in the bedroom, he and Gaga are both constrained by cables from the ceiling, as if they are marionette puppets. Perhaps he killed himself, and is thus the man buried by Gaga in the funeral procession.

What's the with the man wearing the Star of David with a cage around his head, and the man nearby wearing a stylized pyramid? Is Gaga just throwing a bone to the conspiracy theorists, or do they play a more significant role in the video? I am tempted to say that they do. They are presented with the lockstep march of the soldiers, offering commentary on the way they are closely regimented and controlled.

Just a few points: Every costume Gaga wears appears to symbolize some means of control or liberation. Nazi Dictator Gaga, as I have dubbed her, in the black outfit with the goggles, is a symbol of externalized, nefarious control. Cabaret Gaga, in the underwear, seems to represent purely carnal sexual liberation--just plain sex--which is outside her system of control, but does not seem to seriously subvert it. Machine Gun Madonna Gaga might is a woman who--like Dictator Gaga--has seized masculine, phallic power to herself, but in a rather dangerous way. Following the appearance of the M-16 bra, we see that the soldiers are led to violence and domination. Red Latex Nun Gaga symbolizes is like Dictator Gaga in that she represents control--but passive, internalized control, rather than external control--but is nonetheless just as controlling; she has, by accepting the system of control into herself, enslaved a man into a desperate, entirely inappropriate heterosexual marriage. The flip side is Anti-Christ Gaga, who, like Cabaret Gaga, symbolizes sexual liberation from control--but in a spiritualized, highly subversive form--though the flash of an appearance of Dictator Gaga may indicate that this, too, is part of the machinations of the system of control.

There's plenty more one can say. A number of narrative threads, occurring simultaneously, can be teased out of the video.

Also, lots of man-candy. Yay!

Weird Al is a Grammar Troll

MilkmanDan says...

I tend to get annoyed by some glaring grammatical errors, but any time common usage has completely diverged from the "correct" form I figure it is time to just let it go, man.

Additionally, there are some correct forms that just bother me so I intentionally use the incorrect version. For example, I would never refer to Janet Reno and John Ashcroft as "attorneys general", and would similarly refuse to reply to someone asking to speak to me on the phone with "this is he". /shudder

So I guess I'm more of a grammar Catholic-school-nun than a grammar Nazi.

I'm open to contradiction here but I thought ant was being sarcastic...>> ^enoch:
i didnt downvote anything.
and i think you misunderstand my point.
i was defending ANT's right to choose.you gave him this credit also but then chastised him for making the very choice you gave him credit for.
i still believe you meant that tongue in cheek but it disregards ANT's faith and his belief in his god.
ANT is a devout christian.now there are many facets of christianity but ANT keeps his faith personal and to himself.
he does not push his religion on anybody,not that i have seen anyway,and to conflate Bristol Palin's indiscretion with ANT's choice is disingenuous.
she made a statement that in retrospect is laughable and reveals her lack of discipline in regards to her faith but that has NOTHING to do with my point.
ANT,for all intents and purposes,just admitted he is a virgin and is waiting till he gets married.
he takes this seriously due to his faith.that choice should be honored not ridiculed.
does this mean that i disagree with your points on the beauty or loveliness of a union between a man and women?of course not.
but that was NOT my point.
am i ignoring the abject failure of "abstinence only sex education"?
of course not but it has nothing to do with my point.
my POINT is that ANT has chosen a path based on his faith and we should honor that choice.
WE may have made different choices and for good or ill they are OUR choices to live with.
would you walk up to a catholic nun and espouse the myriad wonders of sexual endevours?
how she is missing out on so much FUN!
would you ridicule and chastize her?
no?
then do not judge the choices ANT has made,regardless if you agree or disagree,they are HIS choices.
because in the end your opinion of his choices are irrelevant.


no.
ant is devout christian.
