[FlavioPoliti]

Abra o seu coração mais do que sua mente

[MylesDiverge]

[DigiGardenerr]

michael gondry is a beast

[newbornalien]

it reminds me of the sony bravia commercials

[jokamund]

Open your heart and you will be alRRRRRIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH­HHHHTTTTTTTTTTTTT

[kenmaster45]

About half way through, I realized this song was in english.

[gleek704]

omg wat th hell du yue call tht???? singing?

[chemelle1043]

loving the analog in-camera costume color effects.

[pizzi88g]

amazing song amazing video

[HddtSmz]

Michel Gondry makes me smile :)

[Liface]

this song is really bad.

[paulorena]

Michel Gondry é um cara que SABE o que fazer com imagens.

[mgv92115]

wow that is such a crazy cool video!!

[flanissimo]

is this from Godspell or Jesus Christ Superstar? (a compliment, of course).

[christinespage]

Michel Gondry is inspiring.

[fhgoalie94rider]

the guy on the far right, second row looks like he is about to pass out at the end...

[caplin]

@fhgoalie94rider lol yea i noticed that too!

[mellyozubko]

@fhgoalie94rider LOL! He really does.

[tiffuhny]

i love her voice

[kishikashi]

Why in the end...they doesn't jump in a giant smarties box ?

[kalxfunk]

auto tune is evil. she has such a unique lovely complex voice, but it just sounds flat, processed, and gross with auto tune. die auto tune, die. if you've never heard her voice before this, please seek it out.

[harybosco]

too many people are hating on this because they are Michel Gondry fans for the wrong reasons and don't appreciate Mia Doi Todd as a singular force in songwriting today. She is a wonder amidst piles of garbage.

[esquimalt1]

dude just solve a rubik's cube with your balls or something

[bobbygnosis]

Fuckin' rainbows - how do they work?

[lunoco]

0:02 El Escándalo de la Trevi (si le echas muchas ganas y alcanzas a leer el texto)

[lunoco]

gloria trevi!!!

[shirkenXCCR]

@cshsbass no chris did.....

[cshsbass]

@shirkenXCCR well its gone now and im sorry for being rude and not thinking before i posted that, we all mess with each other in the same way but regardless i am sorry.

[katieittner]

This is a great video for gay rights activism. Gay pride festival?

[belmund]

gondry , ty skurwysynu:)

[SouvenirGoodBand]

Awkward. Half-baked. Has Gondry lost the touch competely, then?

[yusinas]

srsly, something's going wrong with michel, he's no longer innovative.

[harybosco]

@yusinas i couldn't disagree more...the intrigue generated from raw visual simplicity with color is a breathe of fresh air and fits Mia's song perfectly.

[MrHoldenM]

Which album is this song in??

[BumsenDK]

im just very sad. im sure Mia performs quite often, but her website is horribly outdated. last time in februrary, i had two weeks notice before she played in marseille, france. I woulda gone but couldnt get off work in time. I wish she posted a schedule for us fans.

[irunfasta]

@BumsenDK who cares

[eole17]

the end is amazing Mr Gondry !

[dekstller]

PUMAS!!! 0:18

[Freigeist73650]

Wow. Great Voice, great Video.

Thx for posting

[BajoChon]

Me gusta mucho que utilizaron gente normal y no puros bailarines profesionales.

[odiousone]

Gondry could scratch some celluloid with his car keys and it's be cool.

[nombretsillo]

gloria trevi<3 0:01

[gisforgary]

i like it. the color use is vaguely reminiscent of bjork's declare independence which i thought was a little too over the top, confusing, and hard to watch.

the :45-1:10 is brilliance, as is 1:35 - 1:45. its feels not complete -- other shots are little less than genius.

for a very low budget video i don't know how you could do a better job.

[jasutinwebaa]

this is truly beautiful - a complex aray of simple, half-colored shirts, awesome!

[ardianalaura]

adoré

[kinulis37]

Very cute video:) refreshing..

[YordaFilm]

Not as creative as his other work.

[xsasarux]

Ok este fue el que critico a Lady Gaga? Wao, pues amigo Gondry este video es realmente muy poco entretenido, (por no decir nada entretenido), nada de imaginacion visual al menos que se quiera estar activo con un tic nervioso por tantos colores! A mi parecer y opinion personal Akerlund es el Master entre los mejores. Disculpeme por diferir en sus

criticas tan vacias y llenas de un obvio celo,

pero he visto algunos de sus trabajos y realmente no me motivan.

[hitmantakedown]

Ok, eso es por que tu eres "convencional", por eso mismo no creo que te guste la pelicula "Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind", y por eso entiendo el hecho de que te guste Lady Gaga, a mi tambien me gusta Lady pero no al extremo de creer que los videos de ella sean mejores que algunos creados por Miche Gondry, nadamas el video de Around The World de Daft Punk o el Come In to My World de Kylie son por mucho mejor pensados.

[hitmantakedown]

@xsasarux Y tranquilo creeme que no son celos, pero Lady Gaga es un producto completamente para las masas como tu, aunque el video que si me gusto de Jonas Akerlund fue el de Bad Romance, apuesto a que ni cuenta te diste que tiene una escena igual a un video de Madonna, que imagino es en honor a ella.

[pneuma19]

epic

[mighe79]

i usually like his viedeo but this one... eeeihn!!! no! sorry but it looks very approximative. It seems he didnt really wanna do it

[Mystes27]

Color addict

[jhcrema]

Amazing color approach!

[imnotgoing2usethis]

sup complementary colors, sup michel gondry, i c u

[epaponquecito]

i love gondry but i didn't like this video......its a great idea but the extras are dumbs....i mean....all the extras sucks, there not coordinated :S

[pandela]

What's that city?

[ChaosWolrd]

Great video!!

[aburhoe8888]

DAMN! Best music video so far of 2010.

[marcioshima]

Kinda FEIST feeling

[fakdeusernejm]

rainbow :D

[funkazoid2511]

I really like the song...but the video is simply GREAT... Michel gondry a genius director...Thank for posting

[luigiwilltearusapart]

anyone knows whats album is this song??? where i can find it'? thnks

[scratchfilms]

excellent video!!! Watch the dude in the last scene on the stairs.... right behind the talent... he gets dizzy and confused... It's so funny.

[threeSTARSandaSUN]

that caught my eye too. lol

[popaddict]

@scratchfilms lol looks like he was about to collapse before they cut!

[torontomanray]

the song has a nice mellow brazillian feel so all the colours

are great...bravo!

[DasaniYoni]

BRILLIANT!!!

[cissishen]

such a cool vid!!

ps so funny that he tagged 3 irrelevant ppl hahhha

[thaisabmandrade]

Magical...

[BlareMedia]

fantastic. and I think the music definitely fits the video which definitely fits the theme.  thanks Michel!

[LaBlackHattitude]

Super cool

[DarkSideofOzSE]

Very nice choreography, and use of color.

Also...

@-TheTDALVA - Wow man, have a bad childhood. You don't have to be cruel, and hateful.

[jwolf18]

michel gondry is my 2nd favorite filmmaker of all time. (godard number 1). this is good but i wouldnt say its his best.. Currently watching be kind rewind as i saw this

[Adadiful]

you extracted so many possibilities from a such a simple idea. beautiful! :)

[cindydtc]

I like this video, though it looks a bit like the vid for Feist's "1, 2, 3, 4".

[mizz0michelle]

you're right! it does.

[roggav]

Global Hypercolor will be back before we know it

[altarielmeneldur]

lol at some of the tags

[purge63]

Fantastic, simple and nothing too much.

Michel - genius - beautiful mind.

Misunderstood looking at some of the comments.

Great art always has been. Congratulations..

[afaiienphoenix]

this could have had a much better use of the color aspect. for one thing, the color choices don't look good all together. and the half-shirt thing is so amateur, they really should have done something way cooler.

[TheTDALVA]

Conceited. Uggly.

Gondry is only a fashion effect...

Stupid stories, and childish mind !

Shit.

[grapenutsrbt]

Yep, Eternal Sunshine was so childish. Man, I wish there was a better way to convey sarcasm on the internet.

[emmasdilema]

lol

[HippieRepression]

Great song, wonderful video! We all know this girl can sing, yet they still auto tune her vocals...  :/

[jubilantbean]

immediately thought of that feist video, 1234. gondry's rainbow slaves look pleasant though

[cynedalsa]

Beautiful! :)

[ewafigaszewska1978]

great!:)

[dj2tallcom]

thats been autotuned, great song though!

[Dixonchicks]

THis is the shazz. Love it

[artichoke25]

Likes it!

[mburke000]

Dude at the end couldn't take all the spinning. i would've dropped onto the singer like a sack of potatoes. btw i would have expected more from Gondry. Still good, though.

[Dixonchicks]

haha

[kleinmim106]

nice one.

but i found a mistake. at 1:18 the brunette one has a diffrent t-shirt. normally it would be green in the front.

[DrPeperverso]

Best thing about this video is at 2:05, when it is written "Slayer" on the wall!!!! lol

[withcamcorder]

Beeeeeeeeeautifuuuuuulllllllll­lllllllll !!!!!

[vaporub]

yay los angeles!

[treseme]

I love it!!! What a nice composition, it´s the real vision of a musician

[TurboBangoo]

Wonderfully creative in it's simplicity. Just people and colors.

That spiral staircase - is that next to the 110? I always wanted to shoot something there!!

How's it going Michel?! How's Green Hornet coming along?

[psychomelody]

I must say, this is more classic Gondry. Simple, beautiful, and oddly fitting.

[heatherlynrue]

Exceedingly underwhelmed, both by the song, and by the video (which had nothing to do with the song, and didn't match at all).

[antiaverage1]

Fun video, clashes with the music (or vice-versa); personally I don't enjoy this music, so I am a bit biased. However, even thinking objectively the two don't seem to go together.

[erinakwon]

I LOVE Mia Doi Todd and enjoyed this song, but I think the video is too weird and doesn't flow with the song.

[yoshitoshinyc]

how nice!

[truelombardian]

Gondry strikes again!

[Hyperdogma]

meh.

[invdrzim]

Awesome ! This looked like so much fun. I wish I were in the Riverside Community College marching band so I could join in :)

-b

[mputerka]

is that west hollywood?

[rockstedy54]

This video makes me think of what it was like being a kid. I love it.

[kinomek]

hate the movies, but what great music videos!! all of them!!

[kyosoarchivist]

This genius video opens my heart and all of my chakras.

[notpoorpete]

I love the little "mistakes" here and there, the straggler at 1:44, the exhausted guy at the end.

[odaracosta]

wonderful!

[Hakubi]

FANTASTIC.

[mogglie]

hahah fantastic job. love it

[GorfProd]

Magnifique, tout colle à perfection à la musique.

Je reste toujours émerveiller et étonner par Gondry, c'est le plus important. J'attends le prochain film avec impatience......!!

[DBDP3]

I don't know how you do it, but almost every new work Michel does tops the previous! Love your work, love your style, thank you for being alive during this time, during my lifetime! Hopefully, someday, I will be blessed with the honor of working Steadicam on your set! :) If ever in DALLAS, TEXAS, I'll be on your crew for FREE!

[bastianlehmann]

This is beautiful Michel!

[gollum42]

I was a PA on this! Great to see it finished, and in HD!

[richervideo]

wow, loved it

[hek718]

great use of color and space as always! ROY G BIV!! I want to do something with organized chaos....

[davidjaba]

When one's done astouuuuunding work like MG has, it's funny how something that's alright doesn't really cut it. I too love Gondry for what he usually brings back to us from his world, however here I'm not transported.

I think it would have worked better in North Korea with 250,000 party members after weeks of training. This is OK. (I feel like a sports commentator criticizing athletes' performances...) GO MG!

[CHARPU]

it was good.. but it didnt amazed me..

[Clarklikescereal2]

Amazing as always, simple at first but it gets better and better...mind blowing

[altarielmeneldur]

wow! this is so cool!!!

I LOVE MICHEL GONDRY!!! :D

By the way, Eternal Sunshine of Spotless Mind is my all time favorite <3

[ChrisWDow]

That one dude at the very end looked like he was gonna collapse.

[kevinsmellls]

@ChrisWDow That look on that guys face on the end was the perfect ending I think.

[irunfasta]

@ChrisWDow lolz lolz lolz
