@bernuga Indeed. She was 26 when the video was made. It was broadcasted on MTV in 1997. I know because I watched it back then... The video was directed by Spike Jonze, who would marry her later...
@funtx2 bueno termino aca....solo no me gusto que comentes algo que no tiene nada que ver con el video....el video esta re bueno y chemical brothers son re buena banda
Hands down my favorite music video next to Sabotage. It's truly remarkable how something that's less than six minutes long can make you care so much about what's happening and the characters involved. Most full-length movies can't even achieve this.
@WannaTradePants Man Adaptation was good! You should watch it if you want. I still have to get the Director's Label Series DVD. Are the extras are good, because I've seen most of the music videos already?
@kevinsmellls Comes with a large full-color book, plenty of commentaries, a few documentaries/making ofs, interviews, and a few rare things (like his "Rockafella Skank" street performance). It's all squeezed onto one double-sided disc, which is really my only complaint--but it's a great buy.
@dante144 - A blend of both & clever editing. Sometimes a shot starts with Sofia and cuts to another girl. Sofia drops out of frame for half a second, and a proper gymnast pops back up, her face turned away from us, and proceeds to do a series of flips / moves. if you're not looking for it it all appears to be Sofia.
Also there are a few effects inserts, around 2:15 an effects 'leg' comes up into frame. Subtle stuff that you're not directly supposed to be paying attention to. Great video.
@paraballooner I got the impression that her mom was with her new boyfriend. The older guy waving at the beginning is her dad, and the sulking girl with him is her sister. So she's dealing with her parents' divorce, and her mom finally comes to her event, and thats what finally pushes her to go for it. Love this vid!
this reminds me of black swan, which funny enough Chemical brothers have i song in the movie. plus that guy waving at 0:37 looks like the same creepy guy on the train in black swan ehh
@teofil94 Mp25Dlll was asking about the blonde one, not Sofia. I looked all over the internet and couldn't find her name. I guess we'll have to call Spike Jonze and ask.
@operatorofthedrones yes, she did that herself, i know this because a long time ago i watched this show on mtv where spike jonze was talking about the music videos he directed, and he said that sofia did gymnastics when she was younger and she rehearsed a little bit for this video :-)
I don't understand how someone who can make awesome tracks like Elektrobank or Setting Sun, makes silly annoying tracks like swoon or midnight madness... WTF.
@navalverde12 It doesn't have anything to do with that. It has everything to do with the concept that individual triumphs and the adversity that one faces mean nothing to those that never witnessed it. The point is that there is no institutional knowledge of triumph and even if the endeavor is a meaningful victory, in the grand scheme it will still be lost to history. Ms. Coppola succeeded despite all challenges, but to those that come after her it means nothing.
@Frenchedpoodle Um this is a Chemical Brothers video don't over analyze it. I'm guessing you draw your conclusion because of the end, but the story is exactly the same as what happened at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. The coach even looks exactly like Béla Károlyi.
