WhoMadeWho - Running Man & The Sun (Pitfalls of Modern Man)

WhoMadeWho and Good Boy! Creative finish off their acclaimed "Pitfalls of Modern Man" video trilogy with a darkly humorous tale about spoiled and greedy modern men who, in the words of Mr. Burns, would "give it all for a little more".

This two-part video - covering the singles "Running Man" and "The Sun" from 2012s "Brighter" album - takes place at a fictional media company "Umlaut Creative" run by WhoMadeWho's Tomas Barfod.

The company's handsome, succesful employees are all smug and content in their cushy worlds of creative class self-righteousness and material prosperity. But when the company's HR guy makes them fill out a list entitled "10 things to do before you turn 40" their fragile bubbles burst, confidence turns to envy and envy erupts into violence...

The previous WhoMadeWho/Good Boy! Creative videos "Keep Me In My Plane" and "Every Minute Alone" have toured festivals all over the world and recieved widespread acclaim for their ambitious thematic depth, unusual for the music video medium. Both clips were nominated at the prestigious UK Music Video Awards.

The dual "Running Man/The Sun" video is an attempt to push the boundaries of the medium even further, by telling a thoughtprovoking story of high complexity in an exiting and original form.

Standing at a point in your life looking at all the things you build up, realizing the naked fact: “It’s ALL VANITY!” Realizing that a life worshipping consumerism is merely void and without essence, you're driven to the undeniable truth: “I CAN'T KEEP LIVING LIKE THIS!”

When you pass on the good news to your loved ones and friends, one thing happens: They "hunt you down, and try to kill you" when you expose the truth! :)

Brilliant video about cave allegory of Socrates & finding your calling!

First world problems! Man I feel sorry for that guy, I mean, who wants a career, a good and steady income, a house in France and whatnot? I'm seriously cutting onions here. What a sad story. I mean, most people would prefer to live in poverty in a third world country, right?

@ kluczman - it is a fictional discussion between Plato's brother Glaucon and Plato's mentor Socrates written by Plato. I think it is quite clear that God really does love and the proof being that you are just so smart! ;-)  You may disagree with the second part.
