If I hadn't seen the finished product first, I would say these are the most ridiculous and ill-conceived ideas for a music video ever (A severed pig's head on a spit? Twins with their hair braided together? Get the hell out of here, weirdo!), but the final video comes out so flawlessly. It's a marvel of cinematic art and direction.
and he's so right that it doesn't matter how you do something in a film as long as what's in the frame is doing what you want it to do and looks good!
i get turned on when i think about this song the sexy image of trent blindfolded and hanging from that ceiling with his hand chained up. struggling to break free. thats sexy, and then i seen a black and white picture of it, his lean body just hanging there, very sexy
4:43 no one has gloves on- yuck.

another artist reference - look up Marina Abramovic's Relation in Time, 1977 connecting to the twins stuck together.

wait what was the black man holding? i didnt understand him..

I think it's a cow tongue. Mark Romanek said that it was a part of one of the Man Ray photos he referenced.
The fact that it was used in the video must mean their might be some innuendo behind it.

All these elements are extremely gross, but they end up coming together so beautifully for an amazing video. Nice one Romanek.
