I was reading the uploaders comments section at the top of the page, and You said that it's an interpretation, So it's not an "official" video, so unless you un-tag it as being an official video, people can quite easily flag you for falsely advertising this video as something it's not ...
Oh yeah, while your at it you should un-tag:
"glee"
"TV"
"show"
"willy"
"wonka"
Because this video has nothing to do with any of them, your misleading people that may be looking for Glee or Willy Wonka
@slash10170 No i will not. The video has plenty to do with them as the song was first shown in the film willy wonka, & later recreated by the TV show glee. People watching glee, and theatrical versions of this song on youtube may find interest in this rendition of it, thus the tags are relevant. No one is being forced to watch this,again the tags simply provide opportunity for those searching similar versions of the song to have this pop up in there related videos bar as a suggestion
@slash10170 I like the original song, which is a willy wonka song, and as such i like the maroon 5 version, and I like this guys interpretation of the song. He isn't saying that this is Willy Wonka so I think it is a fair use.
Oh, and nice use of slagging off spelling- you may want to learn the difference of your and you're first. Oh and another thing, you started slagging off this legitimately tagged vidoe first, so what was that about belittling people on the intenet?
@slash10170 and "LOL" is a word is it? I couldn't care less about anybody's grammar- I was just pointing out how hypocritical you were being. This is the internet- not an English test. I also apologise profusely that my opinion differs from yours, I shall go and die accordingly. Thank you very much for your advice on the issue.
@slash10170 "I couldn't care less about anybody's grammar" before you start criticising my writing, learn to read. And as to the LOL matter, I was refreing to the use of shortening/ internet slang, which both "LOL" and "cos" fall into. Now I am done with you. I would tell you to die but I can't bring myself to judge someone i've never met and tell them they don't deserve to live just because they disagree with me on the matter of tagging. I'm really not that pathetic.
Sooooo. Your trying to say that what "FunkyLaura100" meant to say was:
"lettuce this has nothing to do with willy wonka.."
Because that just sounds like gibberish too me.
Your comment really has no relevance to anything, I don't know if you thought it would be funny but please stop stirring up 2 month old arguments.
I'm tired of random people trying to irritate me on the internet, Could you try to be more mature then a five year old before you make stupid, snide remarks.
This VIDEO doesn't have Willy Wonka in it does it?
SO YOU CAN'T ADVERTISE IT AS A WILLY WONKA VIDEO.
SERIOUSLY. JUST FUCK OFF
why do you feel the need to comment?I've already explained the exact same thing to someone else. You're just too desperate to jump the gun and act like a smart-ass.
The song with its melody is beautiful. The video background is a contrast to the lyrics leading me, the viewer, to think profoundly which paradise should I really offer to the world, to my community, to my society. I don't take offense of this video background. It is satirical to tell world's leaders with sarcasm that they are talking about peace that evades them because of their greediness and selfishness. Thanks for this music and video. It leads me to introspection.
Very nice. I feel that the war scenes said a lot when shown during this song. I'm so going to favorite this. I really liked when the big mushroom cloud exploded up and then afterward the song continued. It was very theatrical and it really hit home with me. A very creative video for an awesome song. Thank you for sending this message.
My sister saw it and she cried that the people that died there will never live again.I'm surprised because she just joined the air force it's sad because she is under the top commander and she could be deployed to it's fucking sad man!!!LIFE ISN'T FAIR!!!!!!!!
@50ftrobot It is a music video is it not? and the song is Pure Imagination by Maroon 5 is it not? Not sure how thats misleading.....if I had titled the video something like "Dancing Cats" THAT would be misleading...
@CRBfilmss Obviously. But also as obvious is the fact that, firstly, there is no description and second, it is not an 'official' video (as this one is tagged). It seems the title and tagging is aimed at garnering hits, rather than just being honest about the fact that it's a student project that satires the Conservative American mindset. My point is really about intention, which feeds directly into the viewers' attitude while watching. Quick question, do you actually like the band and/or song?
@50ftrobot I get what your saying but i disagree, It's tagged official because anyone who may be searching for an official video may be interested in viewing a different take on the song, I didn't think I would have to blatantly title it "student project" for everyone because I thought it was quite obvious, the fact that we, a bunch of 16 and 17 year olds, can make a music video for school that people end up wondering whether it may be truly an oficial video is just a testament to how good it is
@CRBfilmss I agree with 50ftrobot, this is not an interpretation. it's is an annoying political message put on a song Iike, with a misleading music video name. it would be the same thing as if you put title as a black comedy and then stuck some racist comedy scene from the 40s. Technically true, but it is just to be misleading, and just as insulting to half the the people that like maroon 5 and wanted a video for this calming song.
@ArchivedFox Yup you caught me, I was scheming the whole time, tediously crafting the title of this video so I could "annoy" thousands of maroon 5 fans.... It's an old high-school film project put up for the people involved so they could show their friends and family, and for those interested in seeing an abstract creative take on a visual representation of a song. If something so miniscule as a TITLE of a video on a public website insults you that much, go buy some tampons and cry about it.
@50ftrobot & We want the viewer to watch it without knowing a synopsis/description because we do not want to spoon-feed our intentions, we want to show it to people with a clean slate and have them come out affected by it in their own way, which is why some people hate it and think its creepy, and some love it and enjoy the symbolism etc which is why our intention doesn't matter at that point. And personally the song/ band are ok, not really my taste of music
@50ftrobot Relax, it's meant for entertainment purposes as well as sending a message to viewers. Get over it and don't be a kid about it. Ooo, they used 'official' as a tag. OMG the world is going to end, right? Wrong. Their intentions were good. So was the video. Yay, we're all happy!
@MrsJaziWagner YOU relax.. and get over it your damn self. I was over this comment thread 2 months ago. The author gave a very good response and I decided to let it stand, without further dilluted comments. Now you come along trying to stir up more shit. Get a life.
@MrsJaziWagner Actually, I wasn't trying to stir up anything. And if you have to freak over my responding to what you had up here on this video then you're the one who needs a life. Thank you very much, have a nice day.
@CRBfilmss Pure Imgianation is not by Maroon 5. Morrn 5 did a cover of it (All be it a good one) but they are not the original artist. This song was written before Maroon % even formed as a a band.
@BlackStarx3 I don't know I disagree because in order for the satire to be clear, the metaphor of the Red White and Blue characters needs to be present, also it adds fro a nice break from the war footage which I feel a viewer needs in order to prevent a feeling of being over repetitive because its a bit repetitive as is.
@CRBfilmss Not once you make the choice to use war footage. Those are clearly US (possibly Australian, but clearly not Viet Cong) troops. Anyone who knows the first thing about the Vietnam war knows that US guilt and mismanagement are inexorably linked with its reputation in modern history. If they had done something besides staring longingly into the camera and at each other, their presence might have contributed to the "satire". In this context, they seem a little self-indulgent and annoying.
Moving on from the moronic and irrelevant comments on this video, I'd like to say that I liked it. Yes you guys looked weird but I don't think you were aiming to be Green Day or Maroon 5 or anything. It's, like you said, a satirical piece. There was a meaning behind it. So yeah, I liked it. Plus it was kind of inspiring, so thanks.
@boltboy101 Satire is a form of sarcams I.E the way the lyrics depict it being "a world of pure imagination" with footage of a war wich is actually the opasit of paradise :)
@boltboy101 Good for you faggot. If I cared to know what hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia or any other useless word was, i'd just be cluttering my mind with useless information, like you. I see you are starting to atimpoze the word useless. Give me your address so we can discuss this further face to face. Nigger.
@kardz22 Ok. 1. You like to rape kids. 2. You're a homo 'cause I'm obviously a boy. 3. The real faggots are the racist people of the planet, for example, you. 4. We all know you're a bully 'cause you want to beat me up. And 5. You play too much Grand Theft Auto. We can tell by the amount of bad language you're using.
@boltboy101 It's relevant because Vietnam was an extreme example in America's history when the government fought against freedom of speech, and our right to petition our government. Also in Nam it was an extreme example of what I think as war crimes, we shot and killed civilians and enemies. The goal of this is to remind everyone of the evils that we did as a nation, and to learn from them, and to never allow or do the evil things of our past in current and future wars.
