lol he always confuses people on the concept of the song....it makes me laugh so hard because if ya just listened to the song and stopped being so used to pop music youd understand a little bit about life??..lmfao
thats the point... the video is going for a certain look... they couldn've have shot it in super clear digital if they had wanted to. the point is to remind you of an old movie.

holy crap, I've seen this video a good hundred times or so and never noticed that. Good catch. But it kinda detracts from the story now. :( I'll never be able to enjoy it the same way again. Unless, the director did that on purpose. When the sailor is laying on the stretcher, it does make a better shot from that side (photographically speaking)
if i can remember. nickelodeon had this playing on their commercials before. hahaha cool stuff
