It's ironic, this is like the coolest thing she ever did, apart from Lost in Translation. It holds up as a piece of cultural memory from the early 90's.
incredible clip by spike jonze. notice the divorced father sitting with the gymnast's sister, and the mom arriving with the new boyfriend. the ending gives me goosebumps every time
this is obviously a nod to keri strug and the 96 atlanta olympic games where she injured her ankle in the vault finals then persevered to catapult her and usa to a gold medal. the photo of the coach holding the gymnast is a direct correlation to the coach holding keri strug. simple video, good story, awesome track
@JEDI7ACEN The music world is a cruel and evil place. Beware of the cons, lies and games. At this rate before you know it our government will start deceiving us as well.
The guy in the gray suit @ 40 secs in, was supposed to be the star of this video but he looked bad in tights, so Spike used his gf, that guy was me! I coulda been a ssssstttaaarrrrr!
This is deep. The ending is crazy... you always see those champion photos but never realize all the work they put in or what actually was going through their minds during the competition. Its all overlooked. The photo captures the moment but you never know the real story. Only the people in the photo do.
@MartellArts : Yes. Especially if you consider that the gymnasts are little more than girls, and certainly feel a great pressure during training and competitions.
@MartellArts that's exactly what I took from the ending too-- I remember walking by the trophy cases at school and not caring really about what was inside. It's pretty interesting to think about... victories that seemed so important to us back then, become dusty memories, overlooked by the future generations.
Listen up. There's a secret aerosol operation going on worldwide. Search "chemtrails", "Dont talk about the weather", "Endgame HQ". I watched it myself (my chan). Wake up. Wake others. We need you. Peace
Sofia Coppola is the daugher of Francis Ford Coppola. She came out in Star Wars episode 1 and also in the Godfather part III. She was married to Spike Jonze.
this video is awesome. finally something in modern music other than sex and money this shows passion, effort, inspiration. this is what music should be like
@kiokio21 Wow, way back three years? Clearly not modern. That was back when mankind was still worshiping fire. I'm glad we moved out of them caves. They were yukky.
@calenorumbero people like you make me cry.... Why? Because it makes me realise there are others exactly like me who are sick of this money 'hoes' 'bitches' and cash to make you popular. you are right!!!! this girls following a dream, a passion and chemical brothers bring that out with their music. Its fucking fantastic!!!!
stupendo...lei ha avuto il coraggio ke nn ho avuto io...quello di non fermarsi per colpa di una storta....mi manca il mio sport...I love artistic gymnastic
this makes gymnastics look super badass
