    Beautifully done but parts of it were just so frenetic I actually started to feel kind of queasy...but I'm an old ape with a weak stomach.

    This video has left me breathless. I think it's so amazing to compare what I've imagined in my head when listening to this song to what Isaac has created with this.

    This has my heart, it's perfect in every way.

    Clicked on this. First time was like "woa, kinda makes my head hurt" then I waited about 12 min and said "I need to see it again".
    Now I am addicted to this video. I don't know what you did but you did it right.

    Anyone get high and watch this yet? I'd like to hear the feedback.
  • Moonbase Media plus 1 year ago
    wait, there are people watching this sober?

    what i appreciate most about it is how the rapid interlacing of two slightly different views of the same woman challenges the patriarchal linearity of traditional narrative. Instead, the rapid juxtaposing of monochromatic avians, kaleidoscopic visualizations, feminine images, and effeminate masculinity, combined with the syncopation of visual and audio tracks and with the atonal, nondescript formal qualities of the underlying beat, together coalesce into a dramatic confrontation between the long-duree cinema verite and the ephemeral, temporary nature of pop music--dare I say pop art. We are led to a disappointing-- but intentionally and allegorically so--climax of a transgendered and asexual fluidity confronting a phallic but faded bridge of masculine hegemony.
  • Morgan Nick 1 year ago
    Explain to me how you interpret a bridge as a phallic symbol.
  • Kaahl 1 year ago
    just a little tongue in cheek, was joking around with my friend who is in film school. just banged that paragraph out in a stream of conscious dump. but bridges are always masculine, strong, firm, stand up straight. you erect bridges. etc etc etc
  • Isaac Bauman plus 1 year ago
    this seriously made my week. especially since i did a lot of reading and writing in college about gender / sexuality issues and their intersection with film. you're the man kaahl.
