blog question: What is this music video about? Why did the band and the filmmakers choose these images? Why are they significant? What do you think they are paying homage to or emulating?
The video is about the "The Trip to the Moon" silent film by French director Georges Melies in 1902. The band and the filmmakers chose these image to emphasize how the night can be mysterious, similar to the silent film.There they are attacked by moon aliens and discover that by hitting them with their umbrellas they blow up. Eventually they escape and fall out of the sky into the sea where Poseidon helps them out and safely return to land. I'm not quite sure why the band and its filmmakers decided to go in this direction for the music video. I think they are paying respect to one of the most famous directors of our time by incorporating his movie into their music video.
