I don't understand how you could hate this. It is a great example of what the song means,
"clowns with trigger happy hands" i think the clowns in this video represent an army or government and they are in a war against another race (humans)for unseen reasons, much like what is going on today and the song pretty much describes the rest. I think it's really artistic.
@REACTNOW1 If you go on placeboworld.co.uk, this video is on the main page and at the end it has credits which, I'm pretty sure, include the name of the saxophone song.
holy fuck! thats so fucking scary! i love placebo and i think of this clip as art, but it really scared me. maybe its because i'm naturally scared of clowns (thanks to stephen king's IT)...
The second meaning is about the way in which society shapes people, hence the "clowns" makes us like clowns, causing us to behave in extreme manors. And, the way the clowns were ordering the young boy to murder, almost seams like the way a soldier would obey his officer, simply because he is authority, even though he didn't want to. And the clown costumes in a way, represents order as they are all dressing in uniform.
For me, this video has two meanings. One, it is about being a complete reject to society. Not fitting in with the social norms, and as we see at the start of the film, results in the clowns getting the living fuck beaten out of them! It is about trying to be yourself, by all means necessary. And despite everything, doing what you believe in: which resulted in un-necassary death.
auch wenn ich Placebo sehr liebe und auch denn Sinn der Übung verstanden habe.so ist speziell die letzte Minute extrem verstörend....allerdings künstlerisch großartig umgesetzt.
I think I understand.. it's a metaphore right? the clowns represent those who are brainwashed by capitalist society to think that war, violence, death and destruction are nessasary and a good thing.. ? Am I on the right track?
But either way.. WOW.. twisted... horrible.. beautifully done.
@GeeWay14 I don't like clowns too, since I was a child :-) But, this is the right song, at the right time and at the right place(bo). That's what I call ART!! Right? ;-)
well here's the thing, must of the people that have watched this video thinks that besides is weird it's kinda creepy, well u might missing the point of the video itself... it is projecting how things would it been if some people that have struggled really fucked up before all of sudden says: u know what fuck the rules, i'm gonna make my own payback to society ! to me it's a video that says " wake up"
I guess I am one of the few people that is not crazy about this... I love the whole crazy killer clowns thing but I am not into this vid. Still love Placebo though...
O.o..well i hate clowns even more now. their child nightmare of mine. but the video has great meaning to it.also Brian voice makes it better too ^_^ love his voice.
